Every once in a while, when I'm really stuck for ideas, I'll smoke a ton and get baked then have the wife bounce stupid questions off me until the tangential stoner mind comes up with something brilliant...
this must of course be written down immediately before the next flood of random ideas comes and obliterates the original thought - not something I do every day, as it breeds laziness (both mental and physical) but once in a while it can be a very effective tool for unlocking creativity.
And since I quit smoking (cigarettes & cigars) a couple of years ago I rather enjoy the smoking aspect of the drug even more. It feels social and tribal in a way that I didn't think about when I smoked other products as well.
