5 Cannabis Products to Get Your Creative Juices Flowing

The new year means new resolutions, and one of the most popular ones is making healthier choices, like exercising more or adding more fruits and veggies to our diets. But what about making a commitment to being more creative?

It turns out art and creativity can be good for your health. A 2010 review found that creative expression could:

  • Boost mood
  • Decrease depression
  • Reduce the bodyโ€™s stress response

In addition to the mental benefits, creativity may also have physical advantages. Recent studies have found that folks who engage in art activities like painting, drawing and woodworking during middle to old age may delay cognitive decline. Engaging your mind may protect brain cells, it seems.

But letโ€™s be real: If youโ€™re not artistically inclined, making art can be intimidating. So, what better way to break down mental barriers and get your creative juices flowing than with a little bit of cannabis, of course.

One study even suggests that cannabis can be especially helpful for those who arenโ€™t inclined to creative thinking. In small doses, the active ingredients in cannabis, namely tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), have been known to foster divergent thinking. This phenomenon, where the brain connects seemingly disparate concepts, is sometimes thought of as the foundation of human creativity.

But if you arenโ€™t familiar with consuming cannabis to up your creativity, where do you start? Donโ€™t worryโ€”we got you. Whether youโ€™re drawing, painting, writing or playing music, weโ€™ve put together a variety of products you can use to help your creativity reach new heights.
