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.
