Here, Gilbreath says it's no secret that drugs destroy people. History is filled with examples of talented artists whose careers were derailed, or lives ended, by even casual heroin use. The essential truth of sustained drug dependence is that it consumes the dependent, and it reduces the quality and/or volume of their creative output. But closer inspection of the famously addicted reveals not exceptions to the rule so much as nuances within the usual progress of things. Namely: despite its withering effects, the opium poppy's pungent tar doesn't necessarily prohibit all creativity in the early stages of use. Sometimes talented addicts create powerful lasting works despite themselves, although these artists were talented and at least a little disciplined to begin with.
