why does weed make you a deep thinker ?

Hallucinogens alter your perception, simply put. Things you subtly thought of before, you now can gain a new perspective on.
 
I think because the cannabis plant is a living entity, who is placed on earth for us to learn from /help us. Mary Jane tells the best jokes :)

Deffo agree with this ^^^ I allways over anaylise things when im particularly stoned, like said you question things from a new edge due to it being a hallucinogen .

I wouldn't call it deep thinking, more like non-linear childish nonsense which is humorous.

Lol, that's true to some degree but it's different for everyone.

If my tolerance is normal/high, then it makes me think clearly and focus. IF my tolerance is low and I blaze, I better not have anything important to do for at least 2/3 hours:\
 
I would argue that you ARE a deep thinker, sometimes, naturally. Weed just helps you let that happen.
 
Because weed roots grow deep, so when you smoke weed and you get that shit in your brain and fucking with your thought processes it's only natural that they go deep too.
 
Different perspectives while under the influence of cannabis, or any drug for that matter.

For me, its the meditative state i occasionally find myself in after vaporizing cannabis. Its very blissful and mentally cleansing, allowing you to have a fresh point of focus when you step away from that meditative state.

But most of the time i just get paranoid, so ymmv.

Psychs do alot more for me in the dept of deep thinking, but thats post tripping, and only when used correctly/occcasionally ime. Same goes for cannabis as well i guess.
 
I don't know if its been scientifically studied for effects on thinking and creativity. IME it kind of lifts mental barriers in ones thought processes and allows thought streams to flow to their logical conclusion, rather than being blocked off by fear, or lack of support or direction, or any other reason.

Its possible that great leaps forward have arisen from stoned thinking.

Once the fear is removed (still getting there myself) i might discover there is nothing to be frightened of.

I feel intelligent when i smoke pot and the thinking flows. Fuck knows if im only deluding myself and in reality im just a gibbering wreck with all the insight of The Daily Mails Liz Jones. It could not be any worse than that, believe me.
 
There was an interesting study on jazz musicians:

A pair of Johns Hopkins and government scientists have discovered that when jazz musicians improvise, their brains turn off areas linked to self-censoring and inhibition, and turn on those that let self-expression flow. The joint research, using functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, and musician volunteers from the Johns Hopkins University’s Peabody Institute, sheds light on the creative improvisation that artists and non-artists use in everyday life, the investigators say. It appears, they conclude, that jazz musicians create their unique improvised riffs by turning off inhibition and turning up creativity.

And because cannabis use is so so common amongst jazz musicians and has been since even the 1920s, perhaps cannabis enhances creativity via a similar mechanism? Who knows...

First you have to define deep thinking to be able to make that claim

Second, its contradictory to evidence that shows alot of scientific/creative/intelligent minds over the centuries used cannabis

third, you have to jump to the conclusion that what we are all implying is that weed MAKES one a deep thinker. I think deep thinkers use it as a catalyst, just as psychadelics can do the same.

Perhaps for you it doesn't, but adding a ime or imho would make your reductionst claims a bit more palpable and able to be taken seriously.
