The Artistic Side of Marijuana

My friends have always told me to try drawing when I'm high.. I've always told 'em "nah I can't do it, I wouldn't be able to concentrate."

But last night, the homie Alvaro visited from Cali (you know damn well he brought some bomb-ass Cali kush), and the homies and I got high at Dexter Park. Summer and her boyfriend brought their art supplies and this magazine called Juxtapoz with them. That magazine is beyond unbelievable. I've always seen it at bookstores but have never really checked it out. Last night was the second time I've checked out another issue of the magazine. It's filled with damn creative people.. like shit that'll really inspired you.

I saw Summer and her boyfriend's paintings.. and to add to it, Frankie's imaginative ass started drawing.. they all inspired me alongside the photography, drawings, paintings, etc. from the magazine.. so I decided to give drawing while I'm high a try..

And damn! I felt so free.. like I didn't worry about how my drawing will turn out (which is usually my problem) and I actually concentrated more than I expected.. I didn't finish the drawing though cuz my high eventually went away.. but I'm definitely going to give drawing while I'm high another chance and see if it'll have the same effect.
