Meth probably. I never heard anyone successful that does meth. Cocaine would probably make you an entrepreneur or stock broker.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber we're meth heads at some point. There are a few videos of Justin tweaking like crazy while meeting a fan and there's also this gem

Apparently Selena's the enabler and some people are speculating that her Lupus diagnosis is either due to the abuse or related to it at the very least.

Paul Erdős for one. "A mathematician is a machine for turning amphetamines into theorems"

Productive users arent taking 200mg hits of crystal and not sleeping for 3 days, but that isn't what most meth amphetamine use looks like.

He said it about "coffee", but he was using amphetamines.

The original "coffee" is much better since there's the niche math joke "A cotheorem is a machine for turning comathematicians into ffee". "Amphetamines" doesn't start with "co", so the joke fails, disappointing the small number of people who would otherwise have enjoyed it.
