I don't know who asked this question below, but my answer is an
emphatic YES!  I'm certain that much of GR is drug-inspired.  That
doesn't mean he was tripping WHILE writing.  But much of the imagery
is a downright description of a heavy acid trip.  And just try reading
GR while stoned.  It's much more understandable that way.
