I know of a very talented artist that openly states that hallucinogens helped him with his art. Alex Grey's art is really something to look at. www.alexgrey.com video.google.com
I would say that no drug is going to increase your creativity. Good writers usually have a good sense of humor and creativity without having to depend on drugs or alcohol. I am not saying there are no writers that have never written anything while being on a drug. They just don't need it. All a good writer needs is to user their imagination. We all can do that and have an imagination. However, not everyone likes to write. They may be creative in other areas. That is where each persons talents are suppressed.
Yap!! For me.. Creativity comes with IN.. Some don't even have basic knowledge but can make nothing to something.. =) plus any drugs are NOT good!!!.. And im serious when i say ANY!!.. For our body might just develop dependency and a lot more complication.. Might get you go crazy too.. ;p
There is no reason to believe that there are any drugs out there that would cause creativity, but I would think that if you took a halucinagenic and remembered what you saw or thought of while in this state, then you might be able to make some story ideas from that, but I do not believe that you can create while under the influence. Hope this helps.
Many musicians say pot makes you more creative. Myself I find that it made me hungry and laugh a lot !
