Just dropping by to send a shout-out to Cassidy Wolfe whose recent article on Weedist resonated with my experiences with flow. The Intersection of Cannabis and Flow opens with a well-researched, informative summary of the psychological of flow states, so it's worth a read even if you're not as interested in the cannabis angle.
With that said, Wolfe's anecdotal assertions about pot seem a bit less convincing after the research driven commentary on flow. However, given marijauna's limbo status as a medical treatment worthy of research and a controlled substance, it's not like Wolfe had research to draw on. Certainly I commend her for posting sources with an article on-line. And I certainly agree with her concluding assertion,

Based on this previous research, and my propositions about how flow would positively correlate with cannabis use, it would be beneficial for future studies to include cannabis as a prerequisite in order to see if the presence of cannabis alone allows for a more readily achieved flow state.
