For me it does, but the problem is once I'm sober I never remember the things I came up with while high.

There's a great baudelaire quote about how occasional weed briefly enhances your creativity, but using it every day makes your imagination weaker. That's basically where I'm at. when i started smoking i found it was easy to form vivid images (usually of pornstars and dominatrixes tho) but now, three years later, it's just kinda fuzzy noise, and any 'creativity'' it once gave me is just the mode of my mundane thought.

plus my lungs are fucked.

It may have in the beginning but i'm a burnout and even "top shelf" sucks and barely gets me high anymore. It probably destroyed my creatively if anything.

>jews actually threw a fit about BK's bacon sundae
Anyone else remember this?

why not write them down

I'd like to, but then I forget that I'm about to write them down, which then makes me laugh my ass off.

You should try a vaporizer or edibles

plus weed makes it harder to read (zone out more often) effectively, helps wwith imagining what you're reading at the start but not if you smoke regularly, makes it harder to motivate to do creative work and actually get results out of your creativity, makes it harder to think in new ways and transform your life, and you constantly lose your posessions, forget why you entered a room, etc, all time drains which make it harder to be creative.

tl;dr sure a daily weed habit is less bad than most drugs, but its still just a drug, ultimately it drains ya and damages your health.

I'm not big on weed personally but the few times I've dabbled into it it's like an aphrodisiac. It makes watching porn and fapping extremely pleasurable, like, I can imagine the faces of girls I like onto the girl in the video's face, and I can feel every aspect of what fucking her feels like, the way she squirms, the way she moans, etc.

It's kind of crazy really.

mn i made 6 gs of edibles recently and ate them all in one go (smoked the other g). i got blazed as fuck, but all it really did was froze me to my seat and made me wanna watch porn. (I usually have misgivings about watching igt, but once i get to a certain amount of blazed the voice in my head just changes to "fuck yeah i love porn." this has only happeend twice since highschool finished.)

yeah I know that feeling, I'm trying to avoid smoking and talking to people these days as I forget what I was talking about mid speech, it can be quite embarassing

People smoke too much god damn weed. It's a combination of the "dude weed" attitude and alcohol culture. Because of peer pressure and the need to be some kind of hardass, you have to smoke six gravity bong rips just to fit in.

Lads, listen to me. Just try taking a single puff, maybe two. Weed is way stronger than it was fifty years ago, at least that's what all the boomers say. I personally have felt waaaay better taking just a small amount, and my creativity was through the roof.

When I smoke just as much as my peers do in a sesh, I just feel overly buzzy and crappy. I had never even felt the "creative boost" until I did a small amount. Less is more, faggots.

You're probably smoking too much.

I think they were high when they thought of it

Maybe you need to think about the strain you are using (if you have not already).

This is really insufferable

I've never smoked weed.

>You're probably smoking too much.

Nah man, the rare times I do dabble in weed, I do edibles, and it's always like a quarter of a square of chocolate. Maybe I'm just more sensitive to it than others, or since it's not my drug of choice anways I'm just not used to it.

I agree. My sister, due to a combination of having suffered sexual trauma at 14 plus having an addictive personality anyways, became so addicted to high THC weed that she eventually went through a psychotic break and landed herself into the hospital. She's better now but I fear she'll never be back to 100%, and I partially blame the culture of carelessness around weed for it.

man the buckets of cum ive spilled watching porn and getting stoned, its just too much... definitely warps the aesthetic sense abit.

Like once i remember the two chicks in this video just started resembling bees, their arm movements looked like bee wings, their sounds like bee-buzzing, but still they had human faces and human titties. All the while they're double-penetrating this chick with strapon dildos and her makeup's running. At that moment I remember thinking 'what would it be like to be a women getting raped by two giant bee-women.' I wonder if our ancestors asked themselves those types of questions. WB yeats is another great poet who used a bit of bud. Some of the imagery in The Wanderings of Oisin is kinda cannabis-esque, he embodies the eternal seeker archetype that a lot of vaguely spiritual hippy types seem to also be drawn under, but there's nothing so pathetically grotesque in his work. Maybe weed + the modern world is just a uniquely toxic combination.
brb gonna go have a cone.

lol another stoner giving me stupid advice because i made him insecure.
bro a daily weed habit is just bad for you, no matter who you are

Yes, it helps me suppress my creativity and lose my drive, if that's what you mean.

>this much prjoection
How did you come to that conclusion from me simply pointing out the difference between indica/sativa?

You don't think it's true? Why is that the universal consensus then?

It's not hard to imagine the growers constantly selectively breeding for stronger and stronger strains to sell to customers

Not just that but technology has helped made weed stronger. Grow ops measure the intricacies of flowers with computers and use 24/7 lights to aid the growth.

I'm opposed to boomers, not the guy who made the post

The Greeks had a word for this about drinking a small amount of wine to improve your artistic skills. They literally had parties where you got fucked up and painted, played music, etc, where they'd mix the wine with water in a big bowl

I smoked for the first time in months the other day. How often do you guys think you can do it without it becoming a habit? I like the idea of doing it Saturday or Sunday nights, after I get off work, and I can write music or something

well, it can make you see things from a different perspective.
I remember this time i smoked with a friend, and i realised how shitty my life was, all the mistakes i made and that i couldn't do better, so naturally i started to thinking about killing myself to this very day

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Take LSD

Once a week or only weekends seems fine, but that's also 50 times a year. It would really depend on how you're ingesting it (smoke, tobacco, vapor, eaten) and what kind of long term health you want.

Speaking on my college experience, all my friends smoked daily and multiple times daily, so if I went on the safe end of the spectrum and smoked only weekends, I'd be much better off today. But nowadays I'm not really around heavy weed smokers, so even every weekend would a lot in my environment

>plus my lungs are fucked.
oh vey delete this

Once a week, max. Use the other weekend day for hardcore meditation

Ballmer's Peak

If you want to get a peak burst of creativity/mania out if it, I think once every one or two months is ideal. Anything more frequent than that has some level of diminishing returns.
For the high THC strains at least. The more chill CBDs every week or two is fine

There's a reason why they call it dope and not smart m8e's

Nicotine

I don't remember the source, but I've read somewhere that dope gives you more creativity but also takes your ability to effectively use it. Which I could relate to.

record your voice.

it definitely helps me focus on something like making music or music listening, but for the former you just have to scrawl all this shit down into some abomination of notes because i cant actually put it in my DAW and organize the thoughts high. just destroys certain things i take for granted so its kind of neutral for me.

I write noticeably better when coming down from a very light high. Too much makes for whoa dude purple prose, and I lack stamina - but just a bit of keef, start writing an hour later with a stimulant, that's how my best stuff got written.

Marijuana helps keep nihilism away for me but the bitter part is that sustained use is what makes me nihilistic in the first place

I hate dude weed lmao fags
marijuana isnt a magic plant that fixes all and any problems you fucking retards

1. Smoking weed is degenerate.
2. Saying that it helps you sleep or makes you more creative is coping.
3. If you smoke weed or cigarettes or drink alcohol in any amount you are never going to make it.

I smoke to treat the inflammation and pain caused by my RA, but I've found it can help my music too. I wouldn't ever perform or record while stoned but the basic ideas I come up with after smoking are almost always better than when I'm sober.

Did anyone in this thread say anything close to that

>3. If you smoke weed or cigarettes or drink alcohol in any amount you are never going to make it
Apart from all the smokers and high-functioning alcohonics who have jobs, house and families. Are you just wilfully retarded, or is what you consider success totally alien to the common understanding?

because then he would realize he's retarded
