I'm kind of surprised anyone else does this, but I've come up with some of my better ideas while stoned (my focus is on artificial intelligence and navigating the complexity of true self-learning, so there's a lot to keep track of all at once). What I've found is that when you are under the influence, it helps you get away from all the walls thrown up by your own mind that prevent creativity. The real trick is keeping your focus on those ideas long enough to write them down in a way that you can pick it up again later -- that does take some practice but if the dosage is small enough then logical thinking is still possible.

In the end, this is just another method of distracting the mind so you're not thinking about something so hard that to prevent yourself from finding those new ideas. There are of course other ways to do this, it's just something that works well for me.
