Cannabis does not increase actual creativity, does increase how creative you think you are

A set of studies published in the Journal of Applied Psychology has failed to find evidence that cannabis has creativity-enhancing effects. But the researchers did find that cannabis elicited a sense of joviality, which in turn made cannabis users perceive their own ideas and the ideas of others as more creative.

I would think increased confidence has more of a positive impact than negative

Yeah it basically makes you dumb and lazy imo. Definitely shouldn't be illegal though.

The way I see it, they didn't disprove it, they just couldn't prove it.

My food concoctions when I'm baked make me feel like Bobby Flay

Confidence is like humidity. Or MSG.

That's basically the same for all of science


Nevertheless, if you fail to confirm enough times, you might start to bet good money that the effect doesn't exist.

I didn’t realize folks were using cannabis for creativity enhancement.

Hallucinogenic substances? Sure. But not pot.

When I was in grad school, our lab had a pot-head who would smoke pot because he thought he gained "new ideas" from smoking...

I'm pretty it was just jive drug addict bullshite to justify his drug use.

Cannabis is super psychedelic, and burst your bubble of perception. The study seems not well designed. It says you’re not any more creative than the other group, but could possibly be more creative than sober self. But The take away that people believe they are creative is very important, because that belief may be more important to one sense of well-being, and happiness than actually being creative.

You blackout when you smoke the marijuanas? Strange.

it helps your mind to wander aimlessly, and some people confuse that with being creative

in truth it just makes you procrastinate most of the time and do nothing
