I used to think I was a worthless artist because I couldnt recreate things realistically. Then I smoked my first J, and I set off reading furiously about psychedellics and the psychedellic experience, and this opened me up to a whole new meaning of what art is. Art isnt how well I could draw something, it was what I could actually think of drawing, this led me to not create with the desire to imitate but to create with the desire to create.
