I was just wondering what the vest edibles are for motivation/creativity. Im trying to get back into drawing, Sometimes I snag a gummy that just gets me drawing for a while, but its a 1/50 chance. I really want a pack of em so that motivation is constant.

EDIT: DO NOT SUGGEST ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT MARIJUANA EDIBLES.

I have ADHD, so motivation is something I mentally lack. Do not tell me to make my own weed, and please don't suggest anything horrendously strong. Im not a pot head, I have a weak tolerance and I refuse to push that tolerance. Thanks.

It's not the strain or the specific edibles. It's you. Just draw.

This. You can take acid if you want, but everything you need to draw, you already have.

noooonononono I have a history of severe ADHD, Depression, and Tourretes. Im scared anything hallucinogenic will Permanently fuck me up, and none of my psychiatrists can really answer me honestly if its a good idea (They just tell me not to do it period cus drugs)

If you're having doubts, don't do it. Simply because the anxiety and doubt is a gonna ruin your trip.

I genuinely believe hallucinogens can be a tool of personal development, but people who tell you it can cure anything are just quaks.

I'd recommend doing it once you have your shit figured out, not before.

It’s due to when you harvest the plant.

The longer you let the plant go, the more THC degrades into CBN which is what makes people relaxed. Sativas typically flower longer and take longer for the THC to degrade, so sativas typically lead to a creative high.

But it’s entirely down to harvest time, and yes there is a vast difference in the effects between THC and CBN. Cloudy trichomes = THC and Amber = CBN, let a plant go until it’s 100% amber and you won’t be moving after consuming.

So to answer OP find edibles that are fully THC and avoid CBN, or find some flower that’s not too amber and make your own. Thats kinda the only options, you don’t know what type of trichomes edibles are made from, some list the CBN quantity, but not all.

Its not??? I coulda sworn some people swear by the strains or the process in how their made that produces different effects?

The extra creativity associated with weed is largely due to the calming effects of marijuana. It's hard to be creative when your stressed, and the entirely of existing is stressful these days.

Just decide to be creative, have some weed, and relax. 😊

A lot of those effects you get from weed come from terpenes. Most studies say that these didn't carry over in edibles, so manufacturers tend to add cbn to make 'indica edibles' and if there's thcv in them it may give you a little boost and help limit the munchies.

A lot of it is placebo.
