But that's not a reflection on the quality of the 'art' they produce, or my appreciation for it. It's just that the price that has to be paid for it is way too much imho.
Weirdly I'm the opposite, I seek out artists who are pro drug use, as I myself am, and who actively encourage others to partake But I would say those artists who are actively against drugs, especially those who have never taken them, would make my shitlist very quickly.

Oh, and if I haven't mentioned it before, the documentary actually does a very good job of fleshing out Ellison, we don't just see his asshole side. It's wonderful for fans of Ellison, but interesting to those who don't like him much (me).
