The Science Behind Cannabis and Creativity
Cannabis has been used by artists for thousands of years to help provide them with the proper mindset to create art. Cannabis allows people to live in the moment and embrace new thoughts as they come to them. People feel less inhibited on cannabis because they are able to relax and connect more deeply with themselves and their surroundings
What is creativity?
Simply put, creativity is the ability to produce original and valuable ideas that override the norm. It drives social progress and affects all aspects of life, from science to the arts. However, the muse, the inspiration, the impulse, the spark for creative expression doesn’t just magically appear. It is nurtured through a series of diligent, systematic daily efforts; stimulated by personal drive; and unlocked from the mysterious recesses of the brain. Various scientific studies have focused on observing and understanding creative expression in the brain, highlighting various regions that can be activated (and deactivated) and are intrinsic to the creative process. Cannabis, can be a key to unlocking those areas of the brain, stimulates creative output and boosts your ability by interacting with those areas.
