Many cannabis users are convinced that the drug not only heightens their mood, but also their creativity.
Creative luminaries also seem to endorse this idea. Steve Jobs said that marijuana and hashish would make him "relaxed and creative" while astronomer and author Carl Sagan believed that cannabis helps produce "serenity and insight." In the artistic sphere, Lady Gaga said she smokes "a lot of pot" when writing music, and Louis Armstrong called marijuana "an assistant and friend."
