Salvia is commonly smoked and about a 5-10 minute trip with effects completely subsiding within the hour and given the fact it significantly impairs motor coordination and often completely dissolves ones reality immeadiately, it's not a trip that's conducive to much creativity during the peak. However it can be so radically mindbending that if you are able to integrate the trip it could enhance creativity, I've seen some very amazing Salvia inspired artwork, I've made some Salvia inspired music myself. LSA is much more beneficial to exploring creativity during the peak, given the fact it has a much greater duration, keeps motor functioning more intact and has a slower onset of effects which is not as intensely mind altering.
LSA, on my first experience I sat for about 2 hours analysing work online, and my own shit.. very eye opening as to what should be considered, ways to do things and how to just go crazy sometimes and work with it.. Although, gotta agree with GB.. salvia is very mind bending, and trying to capture how bent your mind was is pretty funky shit, but it wasn't really very insightful.. more interesting.
To what both of you said, I think that would make sense that LSA would make you more creative and such. Thanks for the wise input, both of you. What do you think of LSA's creativity in comparison to LSD, or any other drug?
Mah, depends on the dose and your state of mind.. I'd probably say LSD would be better for creativity since it's so "free", but that's just an opinion I'm throwing out there with nothing to back it up. Either way, any psychedelic is gonna tint your thoughts/creativity a certain way cos they each have their own "flavour". LSA will, as will LSD, as will shrooms and mescaline, and salvia.
Measuring something like creativity capacity brought on by a drug is difficult to quantify because a) creativity is largely subjective b) creativity can manifest in many forms c) creativity is probably more innate/ingrained in some individuals compared to others. With that being said, I think LSD spawned the most creative drug influenced ideas and concepts of the 20th century ranging from art to the sciences. I feel that LSD slightly prompts me to be more creative than my sole experience with LSA did but that is only one experience with LSA and often with the initial trip of a new psychedelic, I usually attempt to assess the effects and take the experience in rather than seek to explore the functional ways the drug can boost my creativity. LSD has a dynamic mechanized processing of thoughts for me which seems to allow me to explore my full range of emotions and view ideas/concepts from several different angles nearly simultaneously. I didn't get as strong of this effect from LSA, I felt like LSA had a more steady, gradual presentation and thus lacks the UMPH! of LSD. Trips can be highly variable though and I can very well envision a Patricular LSA trip prompting more creativity than a particular LSD trip, I view them pretty close in terms of introspection but LSA is maybe slightly more foggy headed. As MeatyMushroom suggested, all these Psychedelics can enhance creativity, even pot can be a really quality creativity enhancer.
My own experience with LSA tells me you won't get much of a creative rush on the drug like you could while high or tripping on other psychedelics. But it certainly makes one think of new innovations. Most of what I know upon the terms of salvia is through other people, and it sounds a more .. Dissocatiated with reality
