Perhaps because the really creative types, the really smart people out there, have always been seeking a high from day one. After all it's hard to deny the thrill of learning something new, of creating something unique, of crafting of piece of art your own. At the end of the day it all boils down to brain chemistry. The thrill you get from writing something new and creative, something you know is uniquely your own, it's really all just neurotransmitters and brain chemistry. Drugs just get you there faster, and higher. Of course they aren't nearly as satisfying long term.

Not that I haven't dabbled (at the least) in damn near everything else, crystal meth and PCP excepted.

Assuming you lived to the age of 80 and met one person every second. Never sleeping, eating or resting. Meeting a new person every second for 80 years. You would only meet a little over 1/3 of the people on the planet.

...therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.

Marcus Aurelius

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

E. Hemingway A Farewell to Arms

"We don't have any kids yet, but, brother, you should see us try?"

I can't take credit, it's not mine, but George Burns, said early enough that it's cited in a piece of correspondence from Kurt Vonnegut to one of his publishers, Knox Berger, from 1952.

I'm thinking it was scandalous at the time.
