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?
