Smoking Marijuan Improving Creativity

However, in contrast to the creativity marijuana inspires, others argue that it may not help open originality. “A recent study conducted by researchers from Leiden University in the Netherlands has revealed that smoking cannabis to improve creativity is a sham and actually counterproductive” (Caba). “The improved creativity that they believe they experience is an illusion,”(Cozalto) Justin Caba, in his article, “Smoking Marijuana does Improve Creative Thinking, only the Illusion of Creativity” quotes Dr. Lorenza Colzato, assistant professor of neuromodulation of cognition at Institute of Psychology, Leiden University, when she states. “If you want to overcome writer's block or any other creative gap, lighting up a joint isn't the best solution.”
