medical or recreational cannabis.

Take a few tokes, then start writing. Ramble, babble, and freely associate as you bang on the keyboard.

Don't try to make it good. Just try to stay on topic. Clean it up later.

Good writing is a process of successive revision.

The hard part can be getting started. Revisions are much easier.
