Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

B.C. may have the historical reputation for cannabis use but, at least when it comes to legal sales, Albertans are the biggest consumers:
Albertans drinking way less booze than they used to, lead all provinces in cannabis sales | CBC News
You know those giant bottles of vodka you can get at Costco? The 4.5-litre ones? That's how much less booze the average Albertan drank last year, compared to how much they drank in 2008.
