Hallucinogens and Psychedelics01:27

Hallucinogens and Psychedelics

361
Hallucinogens are psychoactive substances that profoundly alter perceptual experiences, generating unreal visual and sensory images. Often referred to as psychedelic drugs — a term derived from the Greek words "psyche" (mind) and "delos" (revealing) — these substances include marijuana and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), among others. These drugs vary in intensity and effects.
Marijuana, derived from the dried leaves and flowers of the hemp plant, contains...

CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids

452
CNS stimulants, such as cocaine, amphetamines, and cannabinoids, have varying structures and mechanisms of action that lead to different therapeutic effects and side effects. Cocaine, with its molecular formula C17H21NO4, is a tropane alkaloid and a tertiary amino compound. It has two chemical forms: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The former is in powder form, while the latter involves removing the hydrochloride salt to create a form that can be smoked. Cocaine exerts its...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids

461
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a phytocannabinoid that primarily interacts with the CB1 receptor, a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) predominantly in and around the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and emetic center. THC also blocks the serotonin receptor activity in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) by inhibiting serotonin release. THC exerts its anti-emetic effects through these interactions, which are beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Two synthetic agonists of THC,...

An Overview of Psychoactive Drugs

368
Psychoactive drugs impact brain function, influencing perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior. These substances are grouped based on their effects and the mechanisms by which they act.
Stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamines, and nicotine enhance brain activity, leading to increased alertness, attention, and energy. These drugs typically raise heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. While they can induce feelings of euphoria, their misuse can result in severe health...

CNS Stimulants: Psychedelic Agents

333
Hallucinogens, also known as psychedelic drugs, are a class of substances known for their ability to alter perception, cognition, and emotions. Despite their profound effects on the mind, these drugs are non-addictive, setting them apart from many other abused substances. The mechanism of action of these drugs lies in their impact on the 5-HT2A receptor in the brain. Upon activation, this receptor couples to Gq-type G proteins, triggering a cascade that releases intracellular calcium. This...

Altered States of Awareness01:06

Altered States of Awareness

692
Altered states of consciousness represent significant deviations from one's normal mental state. These deviations can range from subtle changes in awareness to profound transformations in perception, thought processes, and sensory experiences. Altered states of consciousness can be triggered by various factors, including drug use, meditation, hypnosis, illness, or even intense fatigue.
The ingestion of substances like stimulants or hallucinogens leads to chemical alterations in the brain...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Cannabis consumption alters time perception, generally causing overproduction in users. However, indica strains specifically lead to underproduction, suggesting strain-dependent effects on internal tempo.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychopharmacology
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Cannabis use is widespread, yet its precise impact on time perception remains debated, with conflicting evidence on temporal over- or underproduction.
  • Understanding how acute cannabis intoxication affects time perception is crucial for assessing cognitive function and potential therapeutic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether acute cannabis intoxication leads to temporal underproduction or overproduction.
  • To compare the effects of different cannabis strains (sativa, indica, hybrid) on time perception in regular users.
  • To examine alterations in temporal production tasks in cannabis users versus a non-user control group.

Main Methods:

  • A temporal production task was administered to 50 regular cannabis users and 49 non-users.
  • Cannabis users were assessed before and after consuming specific strains (sativa, indica, hybrid).
  • Scores were compared between groups and across different cannabis strains.

Main Results:

  • Overall, cannabis intake resulted in temporal overproduction, indicating a slowing of the internal tempo in regular users post-intoxication.
  • Indica strain users exhibited significant temporal underproduction at baseline and after consumption, differing from control, sativa, and hybrid users.
  • The effect of cannabis on temporal perception was more pronounced in the indica-strain group.

Conclusions:

  • Cannabis consumption, particularly indica strains, significantly alters time perception, with indica users showing a distinct pattern of underproduction.
  • The findings underscore the importance of considering cannabis strain type in research and clinical settings due to differential effects on temporal processing.
  • Results contribute to understanding short- and long-term temporal perception changes related to cannabis, potentially informing self-medication theories and therapeutic use.
