"I'll be more creative if I'm high"

I never am, but I only seem to want to do that kind of thing when I'm high

But that stuff is bad for me -_-

Exactly

drugs such as cannabis and alcohol do not have any significant effect on creativity

sometimes I write or play music while under the influence, but I do so because I want to; not because I think it makes me "more creative" (whatever that means)

there's also a pretty significant problem with substance abuse in the arts, and the narrative that drugs like that make people more creative is a contributing factor

That stuff is inhibiting your creative processes, not enhancing them.

You should let me take it off your hands.

It's more that I'm more likely to get everything ready and try to do something when I get high. I don't even bother when I'm sober. But yeah then I get high and just stare at a blank page or write some gibberish.

Tbh I see exactly what I have in mind when I'm experiencing psychosis, but that state is even harder to get into and even harder to control. And I can't share that with you.

Fuckin' buzzkill.

But yeah @averagejoel the initial shock of getting high definitely adds something I would say. The mind just gets presented with a lot more information. But it's not consistent throughout the high and just kind of a small boost.

I do some of my best writing when Im high. I guess it depends on the strain.

Try edibles, they last so long that you're likely to try it out of boredom
