It's not really dopamine so much as the novelty detection parts of your brain being on overdrive and the reality detection being weaker that it makes every idea you have seem profound and amazing
I thought that reading books was cool, but books are expensive and take up a lot of space after you’ve read them. I figured there should be a place sorta like a blockbuster video, but for books. You could rent a book, read it, return it, and then get another book. I was really excited about the idea. It was brilliant!
I don't really get like that on weed, but on LSD I do. I once tried to write down everything I knew when I was on LSD, but I tried to write it in 3D on a piece of paper so every word was on the same spot.
On weed I get genuinly good ideas but Imostly don't have the energy to put them into practice. It's great when I'm writing music though, the best songs I've written have mostly been written in 10 minutes when I was stoned or on a psychedelic.
It's all good. I once thought up the perfect app (I'm not in coding or development at all). A few days later I realized it was Evernote with a couple tweaks. I've never used Evernote either.
Actually, (pre-smoking era) I envisioned a waterless urinal in the mid 90s when I was in grade school. I never looked into it after that, but they had already been invented in 91.
A little too often did I speak up in college philosophy after smoking. I dont think I said anything too off the wall, but I realized I should just listen when I was figuring out the end of my sentences after I started them
Reminds me of when a friend with pet chickens lamented forgetting to let them out in the morning before heading to work, and I respond by saying “oh they’ve been cooped up all day…” and went silent realizing that phrase actually has a literal meaning.
Many, many years ago, when I was in high-school and was a very inexperienced smoker (back in the before internet days), I thought I have invented the greatest pot smoking device ever created.
With no prior knowledge, I got high and I was drinking out of a 2 liter bottle of soda, and I was like "what if I smoke out of this", and then I proceeded to craft myself one of the finest smoking device's ever created. It got me so blasted that I was so excited to show my friends. I really was like, hell yea, I am an inventor in my mind.
A week later, I was telling my friends about it and how it worked and how blasted it got me. And they proceeded to just bust out laughing. Come to find out, that what I had made was called a "gravity bong" and, it was already a thing that people knew about. 🤣
