Learn how cannabis can help spark your creativity!Cannabis has
long been used and revered for its many benefits, from its widely
acknowledged medical applications to its commonly accepted ability to
help people relax. And now, with the list of states and countries
legalizing marijuana usage for all purposes growing rapidly, we’ve
finally reached a tipping point where cannabis is achieving a level of
mainstream acceptance and usage, especially among artists. Many
established and aspiring artists are looking to cannabis use to aid in
their creativity—whether that’s to expand the imagination, connect
disparate ideas, take artistic risks, or myriad other ways to create and
generate work.
In Cannabis for Creatives, photographer and
cannabis advocate Jordana Wright provides what you need to know to take
full advantage of cannabis’s potential in your creative work. She
begins with the basics—how cannabis grows, how it is ingested, and the
nuances of variety—then works through both the history of cannabis usage
and all the pertinent details of the plant itself—lineage, strains,
appearance, flavor, terpenes, and the types of high you can experience.
Jordana also discusses the neuroscience of cannabis use, including how
it affects the brain and how science measures creativity.
Then,
Jordana reveals her findings after conducting more than 30 interviews
with artists, including photographers, writers, sculptors, painters,
actors, comedians, and musicians as she investigates how these artists
use cannabis in their work—including what strains work best for them—and
how it has helped them become more creative, increase their artistic
output, and have creative breakthroughs. The book also features a series
of creative prompts that you can use as guided creative experiences in
your own creative work.
