Can someone reccommend me the drug that stimulates creativity the most? Btw, after the trip, the boosted creativity remains or you get back to normal? Thanks.
Creativity is a fairly broad term... Id say LSD is all around the best creativity stimulator when we're talking about eliciting novel perceptions and ideas that can then be extrapolated in some form of creative art, production and form during and after the trip. The creativity can linger beyond the experience but usually to a lesser degree. I find Mdma to have a subtler but perhaps more lasting creative quality than LSD, my main medium to express creativity through is music and I find Mdma makes me pay attention to more nuanced elements of music. Also my creativity in dancing progressed ten fold. I'd probably say marijuana has a similar sort of increase in creativity minus the dancing part. And I hate to admit it but in my solo experimentation with Crystal Meth I wrote a 15 page college paper in a night, which was probably my most well written paper of my entire college tenure and received an A on it. I found Meth more useful in its focused production properties more so than creativity necessarily but at the same time I felt the ideas constantly flowing in exceptionally lucid clarity, so it had a creativity element as well.
Hallucinogens in general will help you think outside the box per say. As guerillabedlam talked about with meth stimulants can help a lot with that sort of thing. Sigmund Freud had a very close relationship with cocaine and attributed many of his theories to be written whilst under its influence.

All three have several key properties: (1) Seeing rather than reading - This dichotomy could be better phrased "perceiving rather than cognizing." The amount of time when we actually have access to first-person experience is exceedingly rare. Our firsthand experience is almost always mediated by societal, narrative, linguistic modes of thought, and we very rarely "Be Here Now." Psychedelics and marijuana show the opposite tendency: they promote present-moment perceiving and undermine cognizing tendencies. (2) Increase of stamina - I find that bot LSD and 2c-e increase my capacity for willpower and determination. Whether it be in meditation, dancing, or playing keyboards, I can go past my normal limits of boredom or tiredness (3) Decrease of judgment - When I am high on psych's or weed my boundaries are dissolved and my normal self-judging tendencies are lowered. Emotional self-judgment still occurs but the tendency to accept or reject objects I create is way lowered. (4) Greater emotional honesty - This is why I think weed makes me write better poetry, and enjoy others' poetry better.
