Creating with Cannabis

Siren Nation, amplifying the voices of women in the arts for the last 15 years, is proud to present Siren Nation Speaks—a new monthly online series of workshops, talks, and performances.

This March, explore the possibilities of cannabis as a creativity aid and stretch your creative muscles with musician, activist, and Tokeativity founder Samantha Montanaro!

Inspiration comes from many places, and every artist can relate to the struggle to stimulate bursts of that sometimes elusive creative energy. It can be hard to get inspired on demand! Many artists have found their creativity companion in cannabis and psychedelics. With legalization and wider acceptance of cannabis and other plant medicines, people are starting to share information about using these ancient living tools to expand our own consciousness and creativity without fear.

Samantha will share some tips and tricks about using cannabis and psychedelics to stimulate creativity, as well as sharing some of her art and performing her music. Attendees can exercise their own creativity while taking part.
