What Cannabis Strains Help With Creativity?

While the mechanisms behind creativity aren’t yet fully understood, scientists do know that the Default Mode Network (DMN) is active when daydreaming or wandering—something that’s required to be creative.

So, how does this translate into the perfect cannabis strain? 

Compounds in cannabis, particularly THC, THCA, and THCP influence these systems by increasing dopamine in the brain, loosening the grip the Executive Control Network (ECN) has on the brain, and enhancing your sensory input. 

Cool, right?

And to max out your creativity level with cannabis you need to find strains high in all three of these endocannabinoids. 

Some of the best cannabis strains for full-blown creativity include:
 Willie Nelson—Sativa 
 Jack Herer—Sativa 
 Alice in Wonderland—Sativa 
 Pure Power Plant—Hybrid 

THCA vs. THC-P: Which Cannabinoid Inspires More Creativity?

What about certain cannabinoids like THCA and THC-P. Which one gives you the greatest bang for your buck, when it comes to creativity?

THC-P & Creativity
THC-p is a newly discovered cannabinoid that binds to CB1 receptors up to 3x more strongly than THC. As a result, it can intensify your emotions, sensations, and thoughts. It might even promote divergent thinking and give you more novel ideas. 

We recommend strains higher in THC-P for:
 Experienced users
 Musicians
 Creative, unbridled thinking 

THCA & Creativity
THCA is a raw, non-psychoactive precursor to THC. When you heat it, it turns into THC. As a result, its side effects are fairly predictable. 

We recommend strains higher in THCA For:
 Smooth, balanced high
 Flow state sessions 
 Creatives who want to stay grounded
 People who want a less intense high
