Fun fact! Drugs (at least pot) make you think you're more creative, but they don't actually make you more creative! It turns out, being inebriated just makes you more easily impressed by things

This is according to a few studies that have questionable methodologies, such as how they measure "creativity" but yeah, in general drugs only bring out what already exists in someone's personality. If you're a really creative person to begin with, drugs can shift your perspective, which can be useful. But it isn't magic smart people juice.
