There's a certain amount of fanon, but certainly the visions came with crippling headaches.
I admit I'm getting a queasy feeling of Magic Addiction here, and we know how well that worked on Buffy.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

I think it would play better on SPN, though. More set up, less ass pull.

And a clearly malevolent origin for the specific powers having the effect, which makes more sense for them addictive and corrupting.

I'm with P-C. i thought using his powers gave him a headache and since he seems to have pretty much perfected that one his headaches weren't as bad.
his visions used to give him headaches back in seasons one and two,

Also, I think it would be kind of interesting to see Sam essentially addicted to helping people.

So, more like Dean, then?

Random quick thought from my phone.
Sam knows, in a way that Dean cannot, what living with those powers is like. But Dean, to a greater extent than Sam, knows the cost of using evil to do good. (I would argue that it's a visceral more than intellectual edge in knowledge. Dean doesn't consciously remember some of it, like Tessa and Hell, and Sam knows as much as Dean about what happened to their family, but Sam was not there to see Mary make the deal and was just a baby at the time of the fire, and Dean's had sketchy deals made to save him twice, plus making his own for Sam. I think his gut level grasp of cause and effect is stronger.)

Art Crawl!!!
I agree with that for sure. On the other hand - I think Sam needs to deal with the demon blood someway. If only there were a power of good around to teach him rather than a power of evil. . .

Well, let's see...the complementary color of yellow is purple, so...a Purple-Eyed Angel?

What about a holy tax accountant? I think we've got one laying about the place, somewhere...
