CANNABIS USERS’ CREATIVITY IN NEW VENTURE IDEATION DEPENDS ON THEIR ENTREPRENEURIAL PASSION AND EXPERIENCE\nABSTRACT\nNew venture ideation is critical to the entrepreneurial process. To generate creative ideas, some entrepreneurs turn to cannabis, proposing its benefits. However, extant research has not validated such claims. Using a new venture ideation task, we explore differences between cannabis users’ and non-users’ creativity in new venture ideation by assessing the originality and feasibility of their ideas. We theorized and found that cannabis users generate new venture ideas that are more original, but less feasible, compared to non-users. Further building upon creativity research emphasizing that motivation and knowledge shape creative thinking, we theorize that the cognitive effects of being a cannabis user on idea originality and feasibility are influenced by entrepreneurial passion for inventing—which reflects motivation to explore new venture ideas—and entrepreneurial experience (i.e., founding experience). Consistent with our theorizing, the increased originality and decreased feasibility of cannabis users’ ideas surfaced to the extent that they had entrepreneurial passion for inventing and diminished commensurate with their entrepreneurial experience. Our study contributes to the literatures on new venture ideation, entrepreneurial passion, entrepreneurial experience, and cannabis users’ creativity by providing an integrated perspective of cognitive, motivational, and experiential factors that drive entrepreneurs’ creativity.\nExecutive Summary\nNew venture ideation is fundamentally creative, serving as a critical impetus to the entrepreneurial process. As such, scholars have long sought to understand the sources of creativity in new venture ideation, examining the influence of prior knowledge, alertness, experience, intuition, and pattern recognition, to name a few. Beyond such factors, certain drugs have long been used across a range of cultures to promote creativity. Perhaps most relevant in the present day is cannabis, which is becoming increasingly legitimized and used alongside a wave of legalization, with many advocating its creative benefits. However, little is known regarding whether entrepreneurs who use cannabis demonstrate enhanced creativity in new venture ideation. Whereas creativity research has generally found that cannabis users generate ideas of higher originality than non-users, new venture ideas must also be feasible if they are to be implemented in a manner that creates market value. Moreover, although entrepreneurship research has proposed and found evidence that some entrepreneurs use drugs in an attempt to cope with negative emotions and stress, understanding whether entrepreneurs’ drug use o","cbCaicWWCpGKQJKV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicWWCpGKQJKV","docx",1442794,56,"English","# Abstract\n## New venture ideation and creativity claims\n## Study design and measures\n## Findings and theoretical contingencies\n## Contributions","[{\"question\":\"How does cannabis use affect idea originality and feasibility in new venture ideation?\",\"answer\":\"Cannabis users produce ideas that are more original but less feasible than those of non-users.\"},{\"question\":\"What role does entrepreneurial passion for inventing play in the cannabis-creativity relationship?\",\"answer\":\"Increased originality and decreased feasibility appear primarily when entrepreneurial passion for inventing is high.\"},{\"question\":\"How does entrepreneurial experience influence the observed differences between cannabis users and non-users?\",\"answer\":\"Entrepreneurial experience mitigates the cannabis users’ tendency toward higher originality and lower feasibility, resulting in a diminished pattern with more founding experience.\"}]","Head in the clouds - Cannabis users’ creativity in new venture ideation depends on their entrepreneurial passion and experience | DOCX",1788316967,20]
