Cannabis can be a mind opener and it allows you to see the world in different eyes and you get to see how wonderful life really is and all of the possibilities that’s out there for you. Your creative juices start to flow and it’s important that you act on it when you are at your peak of creativity. Your mind is in the state of genius when you use cannabis, probably. Many studies have shown that cannabis and creativity cause another part of your brain to function or work that you wouldn’t normally use – your creative side!



Dr. V. Krishna Kumar says that “a drug-induced altered state of mind may indeed lead to breaking free from ordinary thinking and associations, thereby, increasing the likelihood of generating novel ideas or associations.” How cool is that?

So if ever I need some clarity… or a quantum leap in terms of writing something, it’s a quick way for me to get to it.” – Alanis Morrisette



“Marijuana can be like a loving partner to your creativity; a muse and inspiration and a help in many ways.” – Sebastian Marincolo

“Unquestionably, this drug is very useful to the artist, activating trains of association that would otherwise be inaccessible, and I owe many of the scenes in Naked Lunch directly to the use of cannabis.” ― William Burroughs

Golden Teacher Mushrooms: Everything You Need to Know

Golden Teacher mushrooms (GT Mushrooms) are one of the most popular strains of psilocybin mushrooms.

These psychedelic mushroom strains are also known as golden caps, boomers, goldies, caps, and cubies.
