Do you smoke weed to enhance your creativity?

[Anonymous No.3994031]

No I steal ideas from other artists then change it enough to make it look like my own

No. Weed won't make you better.

I really hate drawing while high, i can't focus. However it's great for coming up with ideas. It's best to just sketch mindlessly while stoned, then draw those ideas properly once you're sober.

I do the same with drinking and or weed, it gets my lose and relax enough to draw and then I get too sleepy to continue. But now I just smoke weed, but I'm a little bitch and use a stiiizy.

[Anonymous No.3994123]

weed is good
i can sit in front of a drawing for longer on weed
makes the experience more enjoyable as well, doesn't necessarily make you "better"

Same logic applies to your picture. Just because i smoke weed doesn't mean i do the rest of the stuff in your picture.

Anon, its okay to admit if you have depression you know?

See, What I reasoned, what it is, this "art" thing, must be like opiates.

No? Hold your checks.

See, once upon a hit of the weed leaf says "Guy, start wondering, start wondering What it is, what it is this art, this beauty, what is it really? Start there." but No art was made. Lotta sketchbooks full of idealism and notes. Noteworthy notes. Knots of notes.

And then I start being okay with the Psy-guy, this Buddha-Krishna, Yeshua Nazori formally. He's got me hooked on living the ideals, I start wearing sandals and temples and Nature, and the art gets made, but its a trying kind of art. People get it, people vibe on it and myself, but I get kinda switched out for the big guy upstairs. No self love ironically.

Alright, so then I'm popping them orange footballs, the day by day a day ralls. Wow, stimulation. Anime goddesses curling out the fountain of youth like sin, sin in color. That color is process red. Teal, or Turquiose? Whatever, but the game is all saturation now. Candy but no cigar, no ash, no cadence or semblance of "The Real." I don't want the heroin real though, like that poor Jean Michel Basquiat fellow.

So now I'm big into dissociates, Dissolution through cough medicine, the benzedrex inhalers, the benadryl and morning glory seeds, everything over the counter shoplifting has to offer.
So it finally gets dark, and she, Mary Mag over here, is totally digging on me. I'm that fucking guy. But then I get gross low. And the real finds me in my rehabs, wriggling out little tattoo ideas for some prison doughboy who's freestyle rapping I like.

It's only when the pepto bismal fights out of you in pink vomit, that you come back that cup of earl grey tea, perfect and saccharine dosed to the brim with sugar. Yeah. But I never I did care much for opiates, but that not gonna make it feel, I never felt such kindered spirits than with those who truly understand what its like.

Not gonna make it without art? Me too.

The generative law of the All was the First Mind;
But the Second was the effused chaos of the First:
In the third place the Soul received a law, and began to operate. †
Whereupon She (the Soul) enveloped in the figure of a fawn,
Struggles with Death, suffering a probationary penance.
At one time, invested with royalty, she beholds the Light;
At another, cast down into misery, she weeps.
Now she weeps and rejoices;
Now she weeps and is judged;
Now she is judged and dies.
When shall her deliverance be?
The wretched one
Hath entered, as she strayed, into an evil labyrinth.
But Jesus said: Father, suffer me;
She in quest of evil (or, the chased of evil ones) upon earth
Wandereth about, destitute of Thy Spirit:
She seeketh to escape from the bitter chaos,
But knoweth not how to pass through.
For this cause send me, O Father!
I will go down holding the Seals,
I will pass through all the Æons;
I will reveal all the mysteries;
I will manifest the forms of the gods; ‡
And the hidden secrets of the holy way
I will teach, giving unto them the name of GNOSIS.'

When I was designing my website, I would come home from work,have half a joint along with my coffee,and be in Drawing Mode within a half hour. Otherwise it would take a few hours to unwind,amuse myself and possibly nap beforehand.

I take edibles almost daily to help me fall asleep (they work amazingly) and I find that I get a lot of ideas while high. I feel like it really helps me with the visualization aspect, and I can see things in my head very clearly. However, I usually get couch locked so I’ve never tried to actually draw while high.

>>3994478
There are two main types of weed. Indica and Sativa. You most likely had the latter. If you ever try it again, use it only in a setting where you already feel safe and comfortable. Also, edibles are great and give more of a body high. It’s kinda hard to explain, but it feels like a warm hug all over your body.

[Anonymous No.3994510]

>>3994508
Also to add to this: I might be trying a different strain soon that’s supposed to be good for creativity. If the thread is still alive by then, I’ll make sure to take something down and report back.

[Anonymous No.3994529]

>>3994508
tried both kinds. tried edibles. tried oils. tried vaping. tried cbd isolates. it's all the same: no feeling at all or extreme terror. i've had this same conversation with many people who just assume weed has to work the same way it does for them. and it's not like i don't know the sensation you're describing either. i've had it in the past but not in the last few years.

Weed only makes you worse. Creativity isn't something which comes to you out of nowhere. It's mostly something you have to work for by aquiring knowledge on a subject and searching for inspirations.

Simply intoxicating your body won't do anything there.

it was pretty intense one time experimenting. had to uber myself to the hospital while having a full blown schiz episode. it's stupid how chill people have become recommending the drug to anyone like it's equivalent to a beer on the weekend or a panacea. shit is dangerous for some people and apparently in rare cases schiz symptoms remain for life.

>Try drugs for inspiration
>the experience is so abstract and elevated that ti's impossible to convey it in visual form
T-thanks. How tf am I supposed to draw the experience of becoming, and being surrounded by pure nothingness?

I'd be useful if I were a writer, though.

No shit, sometimes I think I have some of the weed smoking process naturally occuring in my brain.

‘Cuz I come up with bizarre stuff sometimes.

[Anonymous No.3995804]

I stopped smoking weed to enhance my creativity. Weed only helped me draw when I was lounging which was sick but everything I made while high was a stones throw away from a pile of shit.

Thought I was making cool shit while high but now its night and day.

I can barely smell weed without blacking out and vomiting so no. I would highly recommend small doses of LSD though. I took about 30ug (not sure exacly but no visuals or time dilation, just mental) the other day and a legitimately practiced guitar and piano for 8 hours. The mental effects give you a super boost in creativity and abstract problem solving. I was insanely motivated to use all of my time wisely as well. Fucking around doing nothing for even a minute really bothered me. Its basically a good day pill. I think its more valuable than an acutal trip.

they supposedly give this drug to terminally ill patients to relieve pain. clearly something is wrong yet I've purchased locally, from across the country, and even from the gov (legal). if something is not being dealt with that is somehow magically blocking huge physiological effects, why is the drug not helping reveal anything? I suspect one needs to be neuro-typical enough to be on the right wavelength to feel the proper effects. which makes it useless.

I actually dont get anxious at all. I just feel the negative physical effects really strong. Last time I smoked I took one hit and was glued to the floor for three hours with the room spinning. Every experience has been some degree of that. I can do dab pens for whatever reason but I've decided its just not for me.
