Chapter 12

I was surprised by a couple of things in this chapter, mostly much like Jennifer I never knew that Sherlock Holmes used cocaine. I was very much shocked by that. I didn't realize either that Walt Disney used cocaine, but after reading that it made sense to me. A couple of people had stated in there blogs that it is sad that so many great artists had to use drugs to enhance their creative talents and I have to say I fully agree. I have stated before that I am not a very creative person by any stretch of the imagination, but I would have to believe that if I were I would not need to rely on mind altering drugs to enhance my ability. I have had my fair share of experimentation in drugs, and I found most of my experiences to be more frightening then enlightening. Some people may find it useful to tap into that part of themselves that they meet along their drug induced journey, but I however cannot concur.
