To investigate the relationship between substance use and creativity, four pairs of raters independently assessed the reports of over 600 respondents from the Mass-Observation (M-O) Archive. The M-O directive addressed, their use of 'stimulants and relaxants.' Correlations between 'creativity' ratings and 'substance use' ratings were low but significantly positive (around .275). The observed links are discussed in relation to laboratory-based and other studies of substance use and creativity
