Oh! Nice question here.

There's so many approaches to drugs and creativity as a whole. When you're brainstorming you couldn't be under psychedelics but maybe on some methylphenidate (small doses). When you are drawing/sketching or doing artsy stuff you could smoke weed/pot or doing psychs and shrooms. When you're dealing with other persons well, coke is your thing because you could sell ice cubes to the eskimos...

Buuuut thing is: first you've to feed your head. Read history books, philosophy books, literature, geography, arts, science, whatever. Learn how to approach every kind of topic differently and objectively.

I suggest you to read De Bono's "Lateral Thinking" and give the "Oblique Strategies" a go.

Drugs are nothing more than an "addon", they show you nothing you couldn't achieve by training your critical thinking in solving visual/communication problems, or designing.

Never take drugs to find relief, inspiration or a way out to any sort of problem.

A way to break out of that cycle? Commitment to design/what you love, without losing faith if you don't cut to the chase. Team up with someone, look for some design collective in your region, set objectives which are precise in what you want and you DON'T want to do.


Time flies.

i think i get ideas while im on acid but desu ive never been in a position where i could actually write those ideas down or anything and by the time the trip wore off i had already forgotten them.

to answer your question, yes op there is a way its called stop being a pussy druggie and do your shit without a crutch. no one is not creative, creativity is a muscle the more you use it the better it gets. read about design and spend time looking at different designers their work and their philosophy if applicable. then copy their shit like 20 times. then do that 20 times more for each work. then you'll start to get good without having to resort to drugs

Do dmt

I don't know, when I get fairly high but not too much, I become extremely motivated for creative stuff. I have done a lot of work while high.
What it does is, it gives me much stronger positive reinforcement, so when I make something, and I think it's good - instead of going "it's allright" my head goes "oh wow that's so good give me more"

its not a thing unless you do lsd. Don't do lsd more than once tho.
