Seuss of course .
I love Epic rap battles of history, IMO Nicepeter's channel, BlueXephos's channel and Epicmealtime's channel are best channels on YT .

Thats pretty funny.

X is very useful if your name is Nixie Knox, it also comes in handy spelling ax and extra fox.

So I am gonna have to go with Seuss.

But Macbeth is bad ass too.

Drug usage was very common is Shakespeare's day. It's not beyond the realms of possibilty that the Bard partook in a bit of recreational drug-taking from time to time.

Almost 200 years after Shakespeare's death, opium became very popular in Britain. In fact, many British poets and authors took opium. British poet Samuel Coleridge Taylor wrote "Kubla Khan" one night in 1797 in his lonely farmhouse on Exmoor after he experienced an opium influenced dream after reading a work describing Xanadu, the summer palace of the Mongol ruler and Emperor of China Kublai Khan. The poem is the one which begins:

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

This is why I wake up in the morning sometimes with songs like the Humpty Dance stuck in my brain for no particular reason....
