Absolutely, cannabis seems to enhance image-making, but this effect pales in comparison to effects of opium (which I once smoked, back in the day).

Did you get any interesting responses to your post about cannabis last year?    I am writing an article about visual imagery and meditation and would like to find as much information as I can.

Firstly, to help if you're not a native English speaker, it's spelled cannabis. :) I am a frequent user (4+ times daily most days, for the past 2 or so years). I've never noticed a difference in my ability before or after smoking, vaping, or eating an edible (I take up to 100mg at a time). The only times I've ever had visual imagery are: a) while dreaming, but I lose the visuals after I wake; b) during a PTSD flashback, and then only on occasion, not every time; and c) this one time I took a mega dose of magic mushrooms and was able to see faint mandala/firework-like designs on the ceiling and when I closed my eyes. I've since started taking an antipsychotic, which treated my visual and auditory hallucinations, but I no longer get any effect from shrooms. :(

Nope. I don’t know much about this stuff but i got hyperphantasic on the quiz and i use cannibis to quiet my mind. It lets me zone out and just watch something. It doesn’t work 100% as i still drift into daydream but it helps

Hello Munk, I don’t share that experience with cannabis.  Also I went on a retreat to the Netherlands with the Psychedelic Society - 2 or 3 days of preparing for the big ceremony and there was absolutely nothing  - no visual, no altered reality.  They  said they had never seen anything like it as I had a ‘hero’s’ ( or heroine’s) dose.  BUT I did feel calm and at one with myself, and when others returned from their trips, they said they had seen me as a priestess, Zimba’s mother etc.  

Not that I'm aware of, but I also don't have a ton of experience with cannabis. I believe there is a research looking into the effects of psilocybin on aphantasics and phantasics. I'm hoping the researcher will present at Extreme Imagination Conference!
