What's better for creative work/endeavors: coke or meth?

...not taking the obvious advantage that meth has over coke as far as duration goes -- and not taking price into account -- I'm talking merely the effects. Which provides a better platform for doing creative work?

Everyone is different but if I was on meth I would become too focused on one thing. I feel like on coke you could drink a few beers and come down a little, reflect, and do some more work.

Now for something like a research paper I would recommend amphetamines.

I find neither is particularly good for creative endeavors. Coke makes me too wild and excited to actually make work that I like later. Meth makes me too stimmed up and twitchy.

Purely for creative work, weed does the trick. It relaxes my mind and makes me reexamine my established perspective on character motivations and plot elements.

I couldn't get shit like that done on coke... I'd only want to fuck and find more coke lol. Try adderall for concentration/endurance, LSD or 420 for new ideas...

I suggest some high grade hash oil and low levels of stims. I would suggest meth over coke, but more like 20-30mg of it. Enough to keep you awake and focused whole stoned as hell.

Forgot to mention that I take kratom daily. That always helped alot with creativity (energy and relaxation in equal balances), but using it daily has diminished its effects somewhat sadly. I'm tapering down right now and plan on going to three times a week.

I might try an oxy and see how that goes. Maybe just 15 mg's. Any tried opiates for creativity? I know many creative types used heroin (not sure how they got shit done -- I couldn't -- but hey, if it works it works). Again, might get too "cozy" and euphoric to get much done, but it's worth a shot (though this obviously won't be something I can do except on rare occasions -- tapering back kratom and the last thing I need is an oxy habit).

I really would urge you to go with neither - try LSD like /u/ObamaIzHitla mentioned. However, if you choose to use one of these, you should know that cocaine has lower neurotoxicity than methamphetamine, significantly.

Coke will convince you that your ideas are way better then they actually are until you crash and reality sets in. Meth will let you focus and execute a probably irrelevant idea with an obsession only Amphetamies provide. So neither :)

Side note: MDMA is great for writing scripts.
