Correlation is not causation.
Even as early as in my junior high days, we noted some students as "stoners". And we knew the term "burnt out" as something to do with weed smokers who went past their prime.
On the other hand, we have Richard Feinman as a past user, and some guy at NASA who solved a problem who lit up and "wrote the fucker."
And I have heard gossip about Apple programmers who were practically given cocaine to get their deadlines met.
I have read many times about psychedelics improving peoples' "big picture". I suspect there is truth in that.
