Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Fun fact! Drugs (at least pot) make you think you're more creative, but they don't actually make you more creative! It turns out, being inebriated just makes you more easily impressed by things
I don't know, some of my most interesting art pieces have come about when I've been stoned. My sober ones always lack a certain pizazz. I've read through that research article I think you're mentioning, the methodology seemed too small in scope to really capture a change in something intangible like creativity. I think a study that takes sober artists with zero drug experience, have them create something, spend a few months smoking weed, and then create something again would be more encompassing on THC's affects on creativity.
Also I'd be curious to see how stress relief and a good mood affects creativity as well. Sure some art comes from dark places, but I'd imagine its easier to be creative when you're in a good place mentally.
