Looking for Inspiration? Let Cannabis Spark Your Creativity

If you regularly exercise your artistic expression, then you have probably hit a mental roadblock at some point in your life. Don’t sweat it, It happens to everyone! Luckily for you, there might just be a way to remedy the lack of creative motivation that is stopping you from finishing the next masterpiece.

When the ideas are not flowing, many innovators rely on the psychedelic qualities of cannabis to gain inspiration and make the magic happen. Musicians, visual artists, writers, and other creative geniuses often look to cannabis to find beauty in the mundane and turn a lot of nothing into something great. Certain cannabis strains are intentionally bred to help your mind see things differently so you can complete thought provoking tasks. When it comes to medicating, here’s what you should know about using cannabis to spark creative thought processes.

 

Be Careful Which Full Spectrum Profile You Choose

When people use cannabis for pain, insomnia or anxiety, the type of cannabis spectrum profile that they choose are likely different than the strains chosen for sparking creativity and exercising innovation. When you are looking to get a good mental buzz without being overwhelmed by feelings of sleepiness, then you might benefit from Sativa or Hybrid strains.

Sativas and Hybrids can be used to stay energized and get the mind racing with new ideas. When you have music to write, canvases to fill and novels that still need the perfect ending, turning to these cannabis strains might just be the ticket to finding inspiration.

 

Many Artists Already Know What’s Up

If your job requires you to think outside the box, come up with new and exciting ideas or set the bar for creative expression, then using cannabis can definitely get your juices flowing. In an article on the use of cannabis at work, the creative director of a Nanaimo-based branding company states that using cannabis at work helps him focus, get in the zone and look at things from different angles. The director uses cannabis as a “tool to get a creative edge” in his life and in his work. Similarly, we have all heard stories about bands as popular as The Beatles using cannabis to write their best music. Pablo Picasso, one of the most celebrated visual artists of all time, is said to have gotten his inspiration for cubism from the altered consciousness brought on by his use of both cannabis and hashish.

Maybe you aren’t the next Picasso or anywhere close to joining Paul and Ringo for a last-ditch world tour, but if these influential creative thinkers looked to cannabis for focus, creativity and producing quality products (and if emulation is the sincerest form of flattery) then maybe introducing cannabis to your creative process is the kind of progressive move you have been looking for. So long as you enjoy the benefits responsibly, cannabis can drive you to complete artistic tasks when you are feeling otherwise unmotivated.

    I’d love to know what Picasso was smoking.
    My guess:
    Moroccan hash , and Durban Poison

    As an artist @fragmentedframes, I can always tell which pieces were made while smoking as they stand out from the rest and often have more interesting layouts. Great article.

    Interesting artist and musician trivia regarding their cannabis experiences! As a creative myself, it’s definitely something to think about. My focus lately has been on pain relief but, in future, I’d love to try a cannabis strain that will inspire me!

    Very informative. One of my favourite hobbies are blasting music, smoking and painting. My mind is blank like a canvas and I am focused. Nothing else matters.

    Satvias, at least for me, seem to get the creative juices flowing.

    Great information and thanks for sharing. Education on the different strains is so important as many people get turned off cannabis due to a “bad reaction” and many don’t realize the number of options out there and how many different things they can do.

    I have to say I was pleasantly surprised when one of your “create” flowers actually helped me create! You’ve earned my trust and now I can’t wait to try everything else on your site 🙂

    I’ve honestly never tried cannabis to help creativity. May have to try it, though I’m pretty creative without it.

    This is super helpful! I’ve been trying to find good strains for this! I notice that certain sativa’s make me so much more focused especially when it comes to writing papers, but it really helps me synthesize ideas a lot more easily.

    i can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt stuck, had writers block and lacked creativity. I think it happens to all of us creative people but with the help of good ol’ MJ i always get my creative juices back!
