I’m the last person to promote the drugs but…
i remembered stories of Fela smoking epic joints of his own concoction and then spending 3 days without sleep, locked into musical grooves hours long. Legendarily, this is how most of his albums were recorded.

so i did some googling & found this article
http://www.jaybabcock.com/fela.html
which includes this segment:
Fela had become a marijuana smoker of epic proportions. Besides smoking giant joints filled with igbo (Indian hemp), Fela had now developed his own marijuana recipe, which he called goro.

“He cooked a bag of grass about [two feet long], which cost just two pennies for like two weeks, soaking it with spices, honey and oils. cooked it right, right, right down til it was THICK,” says Fela’s son Femi. “Very thick! All that came out was about [an amount that would fit in a small coffee cup]. You’re only allowed to take about a spoon, and then, in maybe two or three hours, you are just so high, it’s unbelievable. It lasts the whole day, two days, three days. Fela trained a couple of people to
cook it, and for six years, man, I was the only one who had authorization (except for him), to serve it round the house, to give it to anybody who
wants it.

Much appreciated from Canada.
