Utter bollocks. That's the placebo effect that comes with being so doped up that one couldn't tell a good painting from a bad one, eg.

millions of people smoking marijuana for the placebo effect? ok. read this https://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/science-says-weed-makes-food-taste-and-smell-better https://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/science-says-weed-ma... You think it's being perceived to chemo patients for the placebo effect? https://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatments-and-side-effects/complementary-and-alternative-medicine/marijuana-and-cancer.html https://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatments-and-side-effects...

  No, I'm not gonna read that and I'm still going to call bullshit. Neither did I claim any reason for anyone to smoke. Nor does the rest of your comment make any sense. > perceived prescribed > chemo patients are we still talking about stimulation or in fact about the opposite? You just said chemo patients want to feel their pain intensified, if I got that right. I'm sure you are looking for a stimulating conversation to learn more about it. In return you should stop trying to educate other people, even more so when you get your information from vice of all places.

    To restate my point, there is no intrinsic quality in dope that would boost creativity and sensibility, quite the opposite actually. Only once the effects start wearing down, a relative increase will be felt. Most people are just expecting something out of doing it so they become convinced to have achieved something and that might actually be the case to some degree, but mostly it appears bigger in hindsight than it actually was because of clouded judgment. Edit: The consequence is that people get exited anyway and exhaust that because of numbing effects until much later after the fact.
