Cannabis and Ecstasy/MDMA: Empirical Measures of Creativity in Recreational Users

Journal of Psychoactive Drugs December 1, 2009 Katy A. Jones, M. Blagrove, A. C. Parrott 41 citations

Chronic cannabis users generated more rare-creative responses on a test of creativity than non-drug users, a difference that remained after adjusting for gender. Ecstasy users did not differ from controls on behavioral creativity measures but tended to rate their own answers as more creative, though this trend was borderline. There were no group differences in remote-creative ideas or overall fluency. The study compared 15 abstinent cannabis users, 15 abstinent Ecstasy users, and 15 non-drug-user controls on three creativity measures.
