Yeah, for sure. LSD, too. I never got much inspiration from pot, but LSD. . . leaping lizards!
By the way, here's a quote from Hendrix:
Quote:"I believed in myself more than anything. And, I suppose in a way, that’s also believing in God. If there is a God and He made you, then if you believe in yourself, you’re also believing in Him…That doesn’t mean you’ve got to believe in heaven and hell and all that stuff. But it does mean that what you are and what you do is your religion… When I get up on stage—well, that’s my whole life. That’s my religion. My music is electric church music, if by ‘church’ you mean ‘religion’, I am electric religion."
I wouldn't say this represents a belief in God. However, I think he definitely felt that music was an interface between himself and something deeper.
