So, I disagree with you quite a bit here. Your mind will pump out ideas at a much faster rate when you consume a sufficient quantity of cannabis. Many of these ideas may be awful, but it's an experience shared by millions of people. Your mind begins to freely associate things haphazardly.
Most tea contains caffeine which is a psychoactive drug. Caffeine is absorbed into your bloodstream and crosses into your brain. It gets you high.
"Does using it actually enhances focus and creativity?" My answer is a definitive NO, and I described a better alternative. I see people trying it because they believe they'll become creative geniuses and it's just delusional. There's no magic trick for getting more focused and creative except practice and consistency.
Yes you are. Unless you're citing scientific studies you can not possibly be drawing on your own declared lack of experience.
> it's called an opinion and you should respect it
Nothing here is "called an opinion". You should probably stop using that phrase because it's ridiculous. I'm showing you respect by pointing out that you're wrong. If you don't like my choice of words then perhaps you should question your own.
> "Does using it actually enhances focus and creativity?" My answer is a definitive NO, and I described a better alternative.
The idea that you would attempt to answer this question based on zero experience is hilarious. That you would take an authoritative tone makes you a bit of an idiot.
what does "drawing on your own declared lack of experience" even mean? how do you draw on a lack of experience, exactly? is this some sort of allusion to necessity driving invention?
also, if he was "citing scientific studies" would he then necessarily be "drawing on his own experience"? aren't the two distinct things?
> Nothing here is "called an opinion". You should probably stop using that phrase because it's ridiculous. I'm showing you respect by pointing out that you're wrong.
of course it's an opinion, it's very clearly one. it's staggeringly obvious. what is the point of your belligerent idiocy? are you pissing yourself over particular phrasing?

what's rather amusing in this tirade is that you completely fail to understand the implications of "placebo" in the context of "experience". just because you "experience" something, does not make you an authority, precisely because of (among other things) the placebo effect.
it's always amusing when fools cast stones. lol!
I see I attracted a lot of negative attention. It's not safe to share certain experiences on the Internet, thus the warning at the beginning of the post.
I've also seen other people using it and my response is genuine. I don't think that the substance will help the user on the long run and I find meditation a much better alternative.
I see you're really just a troll and you're picking on me. If you believe the guy should get incredibly high to get work done, fine. Let him try one way, then the other. Or a mix of both.
I won't reply to any other comments.
Tea has chemical compounds that induce relaxation, just like coffee has chemicals that make us alert.
I think it's mostly a placebo effect, plus the whole cultural heritage. Much like alcool, we give ourself permission to be more daring and out of the box.
Think about tea: when we drink it, we don't do it just for the flavor, but the "relaxing experience" label attached to it. We think of asian monasteries or comfy London cafè, nature and meditation. We want to shape the experience in the same way that it's sold to us.
Cannabis means peace, nature, harmony, media representation of the "trip", enlightenment. Also, creativity.
Placebo effect is the most powerful trick.
