Marijuana-Induced Creativity

I am normally a daily smoker, but due to my current state of unemployment and consequent lack of funds; it's been a little over a week since the last time I toked. I dealt with this same situation last summer, so it's really not a big deal. I think some time off from being high every day is a good thing, anyway.
However, I do find myself missing the creativity that smoking marijuana induces in me. It's almost like getting high opens up a different part of my brain. It makes me think in a completely different way. Some of my most interesting photos have been taken under the influence of emjay. I've also done some rather interesting drawings and paintings while stoned, when I am normally not an artistic person at all in this way.
It's not that I am not creative at all without emjay, or that I rely on it for creativity. It's just that it seems to make me much more creative than normal, and tonight I just realized how much I miss this effect. Can anyone here relate to this?
I was going to post this in the Other Drugs Discussion forum, but The Pub seemed like a more appropriate place for some reason. If the mods feel this should be moved, by all means do so. Sorry for any inconvenience!
Peace,
RebelSteve

umm.. yes?
it enhances my creativity in that i'm more easily able to sit down for a good chunk of time, nice and stoned, and just loose my self in my song or drawing or whatever. i find that i can do those things while sober just as well, but my "creative attention" span is much shorter.
also, i seem to get spontaneous inspiration much more frequently while i'm high.

Marijuana is incredible for stimulating creativity! Whenever I get high all I do is create. Sure, watching movies and the regular high stuff is fun, but it cant beat creating something that'll be there when you're sober, you what I mean? I have drawn some of my most original(not to mention overly detailed) pictures, and I love playin my bass. Not only can I dream up sweet riffs, but it also makes me a better player! God was definitely on to something when he created marij.

When you're stoned you are more stimulated, you're feeling different from normal, and so obviously these new experiences will result in a different output when you are doing something creative. Just think of the relationship between 60s pop and LSD. Acid gave us albums like Sgt Peppers and Hendrix's first three.

For me, its like thinking 100% wihout ANY pre-judgements.
alot of my basic ideas on life have changed while I was under the influence.

I totally agree that mj induces and inspires creativity. I didn't even know I had a creative side till I started smoking. I've been meaning to get one of those handheld digital recorders to help me remember some of the shit I come up with when I'm stoned.

If there was any duration where I wasn't smoking regularly (sober), when I finally get back to being out of my mind high I can't believe some of the decisions I made or had to contemplate. It is so clear high.
