Marijuana and Creativity

Creativity is the use of one’s imagination and original ideas in association to the frontal lobe of the human brain. When smoking cannabis it increases cerebral blood flow to this area making it more active when performing creative tasks.Not only does smoking weed increase creativity it also stimulates the “creative divergent thinking” located in the frontal lobe. This thinking is used when brainstorming, free writing, and creative thinking. Adding cerebral blood flow can improve possible solutions to problems and open your mind in different directions.
