My first response to the question is, well, because we're really dumb.

But I need to qualify that by confessing that I've only tried the substance in question a couple of times and the only thing I seemed to get was clogged sinuses.

I think maybe either we have those qualities of creativity inside us or we don't. Ascribing the qualities to a foreign substance might be a misdirection and might keep us from discovering the creative and wonderful qualities that we really have.

Does that sound like somebody who used to teach writing? Yeah, I suspect it does. Sorry, but I can't keep from wanting to discover and exploit that kernel of knowledge and expression that's within each of us, and I can't keep from wanting to find a drug-free way to do that.

I'm sorry to take this away from the original purpose, but I want all of you to remember that you're probably pretty good all by yourself.
