    Personally, I don't think it makes me more creative, rather less critical of my creative ideas, which is actually a more free-flowing way of letting the concepts formalise themselves. Though I do believe with enough practice that I'll be able to tap into my more "creatively forgiving" self in the future.

    Weed is a "godsend" for me. Tried learning to play piano during the pandemic. Made some progress but was getting alot of tensions and pain (back, wrist) and got stuck. Tried smoking a little before practising just to see and sure enough tension melted away, I cold focus way more, movements more fluid, sounds became more alive and starting playing just a bunch of different patterns that I never played with before. Was able to PLAY more as opposed to more rigid practising and such. Since I starting smoking a little before playing my progress has gone through the roof. No more pain, Im starting to write songs and improvise and just enjoy it more. Can focus for over an hour easy each time as opposed to before where my mind would wonder a lot more. Anyways, to each their own. For me, a little sativa (don't want to be lazy or tired so no Indica) before playing and I'm in the zone. Plus, its legal here in Canada :)

    It’s so weird you say that, I make music as a hobby and the first time I smoked in ages was last night while producing and I listened to this Griz track and felt like I suddenly “understood” the sound staging and I swear sounds became so animated and a whole music video was playing in my head. I kept going back and forth between that track and mine and soon I had this whole song I was super proud of. I used to have trouble even starting a song because I couldn’t get myself in a creative state for so long but it was so cool how rhythm and sound became so easy to see.

    Im starting to think and learn that cannabis always seems to encourage being more accepting of what is, which is a double-edged sword and can become dangrous. It is helpful if you are going through trauma and NEED to be accepting of what is to get through, but it becomes dangerous when you dont need it anymore and continue to smoke, then you become accepting of "what is" meaning you never try to get better. I think self awareness is the most important thing here

    One thing I felt like wasn't taken into consideration enough was the amount of cannabis the user is consuming on a regular basis. 🙃 He, rightly so, spoke often comparing individuals who experience fear and anxiety from using cannabis and those who experience relaxation and anxiety relief from using it. My caviot is that the mode of use and how often it is used makes a big difference in my experience. Narrowly speaking, there are two kinds of cannabis users, the "wake and bakers" and the "weekend tokers." I've personally been on both ends of this spectrum, and my anecdote is that too much cannabis turns cannabis into something you are simultaneously afraid of being without, and eventually afraid of using, while on the other end of this, using it in "sparing moderation" does in my experience increase my creative ability. Again, the whole chicken-egg argument is something up to debate, but my point I wanted to get across was that responsible habits make a big difference in experience. 👍

    In my experience of having consumed cannabis in varied forms and strengths over the last 26 years is that I'm always more creative in the days after I quit. I've smoked daily for long periods of time, sometimes years but as I've got older I have consumed it less because after a while I find it boring and I am less creative and energetic. I gave up about 8 months ago and the last 8 months have been the most creative of my life. I can get so much more done when I'm not under the influence.

    I definitely feel more creative when I'm high. So if I get high at 4pm, I'm all creative and happy and energetic. Between 8am and 4pm though, I feel like shit. Lethargic, tired, low-energy etc. and certainly not creative. If I'm not in the habit of smoking, I'm more energetic, more happy and creative enough. If I then get high, I'm super creative. Then I come up against the law of diminishing returns and when I'm high I'm probably a little more creative but also more inert.

    It may not increase creativity in everyone but it ABSOLUTELY without a doubt increases mine. It's really is incredible. Not all weed increases my creativity, but certain strains have a marked effect. (I'm still working out which ones work best). My biggest problem though is how fast I forget. I need to carry a little notebook around with me or something. I know that not every "great idea" I have when I'm high is an actual great idea but if it's 1 out of 10 then I could have, on average, 5 genuinely great ideas every time I smoke pot! The stuff I'm working with now that seems to be really effective is called "Apples and Bananas" in case anyone was wondering.

    I'd love to see a neurologist who specializes in studying things specifically like this chime in. In many people's experience, Cannabis provides access to creative connections we just don't make sober. I'm a writer and have experienced this first-hand many times. The ideas I come up with for my stories while I'm high are far better than the more limited ones I come up with while sober. There's something Cannabis does (while high) that just removes barriers. So it basically just allows us to travel our own minds deeper and probe to find connections we wouldn't have consciously made before. But if it's not already in our brains, it isn't going to be accessible. That said, we can watch and read things and "input" material into our brains while high or not to help bolster our own database to further our creativity. It also likely depends person to person. Not everyone who gets high is "open" to new experiences or perspectives. I know a lot of people who get high who are not open at all and are rigid thinkers even while high.

I took what I learned and make a song myself and I was blown away how I had made something I haven’t been able to make in years.

    @@opheliawild 100% there are downsides- the key I think is to only use it occasionally because everyone I see using it becomes super reliant on it for basically everything and has noticeable memory problems. However I think cannabis disables some parts of the brain and enhances others. Reading seems to counter the negative memory parts of it so Im suspicious that the memory loss is due to simply not using that part of the brain as much (QEEGs can pick up that your brain has less amplitude in some parts on weed, and it quite literally slows it down) the slower brain waves allow more creativity HOWEVER, I think since the brain has a “use it or lose it” type of mechanism, prolonged usage leads to permanently slower amplitudes. I personally had neurofeedback done on myself and it uses the same kind of repeat stimulus or "training" to push brainwaves to go faster/slower. PTSD is also a result of having altered brainwave "amplitudes". so, yeah its interesting how that works

For example, the parietal cortex part of your brain is associated with self awareness and weed lowers that a bit. It’s also ironically associated with long term memory and sleep. So it might be fine to do once in a while, but repeat usage I believe will literally train your brain to tune down that area permanently

    I am an artist and I think that “openness “is right regarding cannabis. What I have observed is my execution has gotten better but my creativeness is the same. It seems to have knocked out repeating common mistakes by allowing self correction . It allows me to drop self imposed restrictions like “no I won’t do this because I will do it poorly “. Now I am able to just go ahead and draw and fix it in one continuous flow. I can also make better observations in colour and composition. I feel I know what the painting needs to make it better. I seem to be able to visualize so well With cannabis I can nearly copy onto paper what I imagine because the mental image doesn’t fade out. I am a regular user but I think the improvement is permanent even if I never had cannabis ever again.

    I'd like to inquire about something important. As someone involved in game development, my passion lies in crafting imaginative worlds filled with non-existent creatures. I'm intrigued by the concept of providing players with immersive journeys that allow them to truly engage with these fictional realms. My approach is akin to an author meticulously penning a novel. Now, onto my query: During the moments just before I fall asleep, I experience something remarkably peculiar. A multitude of vivid images flash before my eyes, corresponding to whatever concept I'm focusing on. For instance, if I'm contemplating a city among the clouds, the intricate details of the buildings, the texture of the walls, and even the vibrant hues all become remarkably clear. These dynamic images move, and there's a sense of substantiality to everything. My question is, what underlies this experience? What processes occur within my brain? It doesn't appear to be a mere transfer of memories from short-term to long-term storage. Could you shed light on what's happening? What am I unlocking in this state? Just to clarify, I'm not alluding to substance use, as I don't engage in such activities.

Usually, it doesn't lower my high-strung adrenaline reactions much, but it does provide access to more information in my own mind, allowing me to make connections I never do sober, time and time again.

    So basically, while it doesn't make you more creative per se, it does removes the 'filter' of creativity. That about right?

    I was working on Receurdos de la Alhambra on guitar and progress was slow. I took 20mg of THC and an hour layer I was playing better than ever. I could play the notes to their value at a tempo I was having trouble with when I had no THC in my system. THC seems to have helped me get over the hump with that piece of music.

    It's not that complicated, marijuana can make people more creative, point plank period. I don't give a crap about biased experiments. I've seen it over and over and over again with people who were friends etc, it can make you more creative no doubt. Enough of the BS. I've composed many creative vocal melodies on pot while not being able to compose to save my life while off cannabis.

    typical pothead cant even interpret very basic concepts. he said it can help with creative outcomes. it doesnt make you creative directly, but through a secondary mechanism your anxieties can be lifted to allow you a wider spectrum of ideas than you might normally allow.

    @@kartoshka253 He hawks his very low-regulated dietary supplements and believes sunscreen is just as dangerous as melanoma. He speaks far outside of his specialty and expertise. He doesn't summarize or cite papers correctly, adding his own spin/interpretation that wasn't in the paper (including this video). He's not a critical thinker. He's someone who makes a supposition by his own feelings then goes and tries to find research to support his supposition. That isn't how science works. If I were a betting person, I'd wager he'll say something crazy that goes viral and get himself canceled eventually. He's all about money, hubris, and ego. No surprise, he is one of many Lex Fridman creations where "anything goes" so long as you dress it up in credentials, slap a hefty price tag on it, and produce, produce, produce.

    @zach7074 yea same before I stopped smoking I was going hard until fear and discomfort started to overwhelm me and I couldn’t make music as good as when I didn’t smoke as much. I’ve observed the more you smoke the more suppressed creativity becomes because your mind was tricked to only associate whatever task your doing with weed because you were under the influence while doing whatever
