Doom Patrol & Grant Morrison

[milk114]

maybe someone could help me out
I remember reading somewhere online in the last year about Grant Morrison and his drug use effecting his writing. I remember specifically the article/whatever saying that he only started take hallucinogenics later in life and pointing out where in his oeuvre he started. I've run through all the Morrison-related websites and postings I can think of and havent found the article again or the information. please help!

Im almost certain both Animal Man and Doom Patrol were pre-drugs and that it was somewhere in the middle of Invisibles that he started experimenting. But not certain. thanks.

You're looking for this interview (http://suicidegirls.com/words/Grant+Morrison/).DRE: You mentioned three drugs right there, when you did Animal Man was it from doing one drug and was The Invisibles with another drug and etc?

GM: The weird thing with me is that I'm into magic more than I am drugs and I started my psychedelic experiments very late, as an adjunct to my magical work. I ate a little bit of hash when I was 24 and I had some mushrooms when I was 28 but otherwise I was totally straight edge until I was 31. I was in a psychedelic punk band where we didn't drink, smoke or take drugs! I only got into drugs when I felt sorted emotionally enough to deal with the effects and I had good magical reasons for doing so. Then in 90's I joined the rave party and spent every single day of the decade getting totally wrecked on mind-altering substances which, I have to admit, I enjoyed immensely. I was never keen on stimulants like cocaine and speed because they did nothing useful or interesting for me but I loved the psychedelic drugs which could twist my head, erase my name and address, open up my subconscious and turn my brain into a super-conductor, so I dosed like a madman for ten years, studied the effects and wrote it all down in The Invisibles and Flex Mentallo in particular. Zenith, Animal Man and Arkham Asylum are pretty straight edge and Doom Patrol shows the influence of shrooms from around the time of those Insect Mesh issues but I was mostly doing it straight. The 90’s work emerged from the cockpit of a rocket-driven rollercoaster of LSD, cannabis, mushrooms, DMT, 2CB, ecstasy and champagne.He says the same thing in the annotations for the new edition of ARKHAM ASYLUM.

for sure not the interview/site i was looking for but useful none the less. the site i remember was written in the third person, was something comprehensive, kinda like a wikipedia site (but definitely not). thanks though!
