Are you creative when tripping?

Calling musicians, artists, poets etc!
Do you find inspiration when tripping on mushrooms? Do you find the creative juices flow more easily? Do you find yourself playing/drawing better?
Feel free to submit some of you work - drawings, poems, music composed etc.

Definitely! I find it much easier to let my creativity flow when I'm on shrooms. I can actually complete a drawing without getting sidetracked or losing interest halfway through like usual.

Yes, usually I am very open when tripping. I feel like the ideas have a flow to them. I really enjoy improv jamming while tripping.

I find that a small dose is perfect for me when it comes to writing, creating new tunes, etc etc. For me it feels like a roadblock has been lifted and I can just start to play/create music in ways that I normally wouldn't when I am limited by my normal consciousness. I used to get the same effect from smoking herb, but that's a rare occasion anymore if it does open me up more creatively. I've been a musician for 20 years, (I'm only 25) but I have a lucky ability to be able to play literally any instrument I touch, without music. It's a sweet advantage but can be a disadvantage at times because I play naturally by ear, but I don't think it matters because I create all of my own material. But yes, I think that using psychedelics (shrroms,acid for me) in moderation will expand your horizons tremendously. Just look at Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, etc! They definitely had a lot of help with these substances and, I think that when paired with natural talent there is no limit to the musical genius that can occur!

I have a 30 minute mushroom+pot freestyle rap that doesn't make any sense. I like to listen to it and it cheers me up. Love mushrooms. Mushroom love. For beginners especially.

I love writing (words) while tripping. I make time during every trip to write a bit about it in a trip notebook. Enjoy writing trip reports while tripping, too. Just pushing down on the keys feels fun.

I like the combination of ginseng and pot for drawing pictures. Maybe I'll post some art later if I can get ahold of a scanner.

I wish I could answer this question for myself because I have been wanting to experiment the creativeness that flows through drawings while tripping. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to do so while on any psychedelics.
The most recent psychedelic I have touched is DMT and wasn't quite able to draw in the midst of the experience, however the following days even up until now I have noticed a lot more creativity in my drawings.
Tripping seemed to have brought out a lot of hidden creativity for me, I'm curious how it might be drawing while tripping.

I'm creative on weed. Not so much on shrooms.

More than ever. I don't consider myself a terribly artistic person, in terms of art. But when I'm tripping, I can make masterpieces. It's great.

Oddly enough, I feel extremely creative (and am, mentally) but can never act on that creativity to summon it to the physical realm. For instance, when beginning a drawing I can only draw two designs or, when writing, only a line or two of text and then I move onto something else. I'm not sure whether this is because I'm trying too hard to be creative while I'm loaded or what.
However, the creative thoughts that I do have can easily be scribed once the trip is over (that is, if I remember them).

I'd say yes, but the downside is I'm not in a state of mind that i can't truly remember what was so creative that i thought of. kinda like how some ppl cant remember their dreams.

I get super creative on acid. I usually start drawing away but can't tell if its good or not until I sober up. I write as well, but I need to harness my poetry skills as I can only materialize the tip of the iceberg of what is going through my head. I try and play music, but usually just end up playing one note over and over thinking it is amazing hah. Building things is also fun, like a child.
I do get creative on mushrooms, but I'm usually too busy melting into whatever I am touching to use my body to make anything.
I get a few creative nuggets whilst baked, but don't have the motivation or focus to create anything.

This is actually what I want to try to do on my next trip. I am a painter and craftsperson by trade, but I'm really curious and excited to see what the results will be while tripping. I'm gonna stick to watercolor painting, not stained glass (my professional training) - can't see broken glass and a 700 deg. hot soldering gun as being safe while tripping lol!
So far when I trip, I'm just enjoying the visuals, the sounds, and the love.

Yes, making up songs mainly. I play guitar and electronics sober stoned and/or dissasociated, I sing when I'm tripping shrooms/acid. The problem is I don't remember how my tripping songs go when I'm not tripping...but I can recall them when I am tripping. I'm not convinced the songs are coming from me.

I LOVE playing music on both shrooms and acid. Weed does enhance my creativity, but shrooms and acid take it to a whole different level. It's awesome.
Unfortunately the only person I've really tripped with is someone who is fully uninterested with anything creative whatsoever. Music, art, anything. He's not for it. I just realized the root of my bad trips. Huh.
