Gavin Rainbow, a studio art sophomore at UNT, thinks now is the time to see what this whole “marijuana” craze is all about.
“I’ve never really thought much about pot,” he said. “But the other week, I was having trouble figuring out what direction to go with my latest assignment in sculpture class, and one of my friends was like, ‘dude, hit the bong before you do your homework.’”
Rainbow says he didn’t realize recreational marijuana use could possibly enhance creativity. He also says he had no idea literally everyone around him was smoking it all the time.
“I started asking around, and it turns out that every single person in my art classes smokes before coming up with ideas for projects. Plus, they smoke all those other times, too,” he said. “Maybe they’re coming up with ideas every day?”
According to UNT Health Services Administrator Dr. Steve Herbert, marijuana smoking is completely harmless and a pretty badass thing to do, generally. “I’m not saying I toke myself,” he said, “but I watch other people who smoke all the time and literally nothing bad ever happens. I may not be a doctor, but I think the evidence is clear.”
Rainbow says that while he thinks his art has been good in the past, using marijuana might make his ideas and work ethic even better.
“I know this one guy who smokes a ton of pot and then goes to the gym to work out. He’s like, buffed out as fuck, too,” he said. “My cousin does it every day and he’s like the smartest guy I know. I can’t wait to start.”
