So disappointed in marijuana

elfsPot, I'm very disappointed in you.
I live in Washington state, where marijuana is a legal product readily available at shops all across the state. There's a fairly nice pot shop within walking distance of my house. I was eager to try it because my friends, the serious potheads, had for years extolled the virtues of marijuana. It'll "free your mind," and it'll "make you more creative."
No, no it doesn't.
For me, what pot does is simulate the emotions of being creative without, you know, actually encouraging creativity. You get the rush of creative flow without putting in any effort. It's not a useful chemical for unlocking anything. Which is fine, it's great, it's better than alcohol, but everyone I know told me that, for "someone like you" it would be great for creativity. But sadly, no, it only gives the emotional impressions of being creative without the creative insights themselves.
Ah, well. I guess I'll just have to write my stories sober. As usual.
