Does smoking pot make you more creative?

That’s the answer I’ve been trying to get a consensus on by searching the internet, reading books and watching YouTube. I’ve also been experimenting myself, trying to take in the experience and see when and when it does not make me more creative.

People are very opinionated on this matter. My experience with getting high is the experience is what you make of it and ensuring you consume the right amount of a good satvia strain. Some strains are marketed towards creativity but with all things getting high, it’s what you put into it. Getting high amplifies and distorts the signals slightly in your brain but it doesn’t on its own create new, creative ideas or put you in the mood to be extra creative.

The truth is when you are high, it’s really hard to think clearly enough and to write down your thoughts. But as the high wears off – and you have consumed the cannabis in moderation – you do get a feeling of creativity, unburdened by fears of the past and future which too often put a clamp on the creative mind. Pot doesn’t make the world colorful or sparkle but it does enhance the colors and details including the glistening leaves and water. It frees you of the baggage of all you carry in the mind allowing you to tune into the now.
