What's the best "classical" piano composer's music for various drugs or classes of drugs?

Mozarts good for stimulants, his music tends to be quite "zippy" and very up and down quasi-glissando with all the scaley runs

I have a friend who is First Violin who swears by The Firebird, the piano reduction, while on acid. I find it too much, but I'm not First Violin, and he's done way more drugs than I have, so there's that.
- Just be glad its not Paganinni or whatever, the Devil's fiddler
- You can start with Debussy, but make sure you finish on de Bach.

- What drug are you?
I've always thought that Beethoven's best late period works would be great on hallucinogenics.
Also Debussy and Gershwin. Bach's twisty fugues would also be interesting.
- Although not written for piano, as a kid I loved (and still do) "La Mer" by Claude Debussy. Still perfect for shrooms or weed.
- Thats sweeping
I love me some Bach, but if it's psychedelics I might tend to want something more from the Romantic period.
For the current era I would suggest these two.
