Understanding Creativity

Cannabis has long been associated with artistic expression, and for good reason. Certain strains enhance divergent thinking—the ability to generate multiple solutions to a problem. They reduce the internal critic, allowing ideas to flow freely, and create new connections between seemingly unrelated concepts. The key is finding strains that inspire without overwhelming. Too much THC can scatter thoughts; the right dose expands them. Artists, musicians, writers, and problem-solvers have used cannabis to break through creative blocks for centuries.
