Not that this is necessarily considered a health benefit, but creative types may find themselves even more inspired and capable after smoking marijuana.  While it’s no secret the short-term memory function can be adversely affected by marijuana use, conceptual and creative thinking while using marijuana can take a significant step in the right direction. Overdoing it can certainly result in a state wherein the very idea of using your brain at all is impossible.  Nevertheless, approach cannabis with caution and it has the potential to work wonders for your creativity and inspiration.
