Hypothesis: weed turns Ps into Qs while alcohol turns Qs into Ps

But does it change the creative process/trigger, or just the self-perception? And does that affect outcome? Reminds me of something Dennis Miller said when he was still funny. "why do you do cocaine?" "Cause it enhances my personality" "what if you're an asshole?"

I think it rewires incentives and risk perception. Weed makes P's care less about what they thought was important. Alcohol makes Q's more indifferent the stress of responsibility for important things.

Hm. Makes sense. I was thinking more along the lines of weed making you wonder/delight in the small things whereas booze enhances ego.

I think that's too strong a statement. It's temporary modifications of weights on various inhibitions/perceptions. Wonder/delight/ego are too abstract a level at which to think about psychopharmacological effects.
