I had a pretty lengthy reply but unfortunately the 'massive exodus from reddit' gremlins ate it.
In particular, replying to the last bit you put over cloud chasing. According to the sources I've read recently, cannabis molecules are absorbed very quickly; and that holding smoke in does not increase the high from cannabis, only increases potential lung damage. Apparently a couple of secs is optimal and any further holding won't absorb anymore cannabinoids. There's a decent breakdown here: https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/uk/blog-debunking-the-myth-of-holding-a-hit-of-marijuana-n748
It's really interesting to hear from someone with strong visualisation how it affects (and increases) their ability to think creatively. I have aphantasia ie no mind's eye, so can't speak to that (other than deep envy, would be nice to see something other than the backs of my eyelids), but it definitely makes my musical creativity skyrocket. It's a double-edged sword though, it's not exactly a rare occurrence where I listen back to something I was sure was something incredible the next day... only to find it's more filler than killer. OTOH, some of the best melodies / tracks I've written were produced heavily under the influence of green!
