Would a cup of coffee enhance your ability to get lofty with your thinking? Ginseng? Pure oxygen?

Coffee benefits some people (I'm not sure it really provides me benefit though).

But do psychedelic drugs help? If I want to write code, would a psychedelic drug help there? If not, why would a psychedelic drug help in finding why I exist?
