Last but not least, Matt Bunsen has a license to burn. But he uses the cannabis wisely, making sure that it never interferes with his creative endeavors and getting things done. “It seems to help the creative process. Once when I was in a rut, I tried drinking my way out. Yikes – that didn’t go well. I prefer weed.”
