I'm an artist and am in med school. Yes, amphetamines "make you more creative" in the same way that pot does for some people. Its easy to see why; dex just lights up your brain (a little mild psychosis or paranoia aren't exactly unrelated to "creativity"). You look at things differently. You certainly think about things alot more intensely. You're also alot more positive and proactive. It doesnt necessarily matter if what youre thinking is sound or not, its just art. And writing writing writing. Theres no such thing as writer's block. Too bad theyre so bad for you.
