Ontopic, I think being high is detrimental to your dream recall for the duration.
Not sure why, but I read it in a tutorial on here I think. I'll see if I can find it.
I agree there seems to be too many people 'on' drugs, but do I think that as the use of drugs raises definite questions about the possibilities and restraints of consciousness so does lucid dreaming, and as such their combination can provide new insights for the dreamer. When one lucid dreams the line between the conscious and the unconscious blurs, between the real and the unreal, and the singular and abstract nature of our perception becomes an infinite realm of possibility.

The chemicals of the brain naturally create our everyday consciousness, the one we exist in day to day - some may find use in creating or entering a temporary, abstracted consciousness from which to view things.

Interestingly things like binaural beats can influence ones dreams by controlling brainwaves. Many say the last century in neuroscience was the century of the chemical, and this will be the century of the wave. Dream recall will certainly be effected by chemicals, but this will differ, like all things, between each person. Perhaps for those who can't recall dreams from under a chemical influence, or do not wish to break the law, experimentation with waves and binaural beats could provide a more productive and interesting 'dream aid'.

I'll find a link for a good binaural talk that might be an interesting view ^^
