Speed of thoughts on drugs

So the other day I was reading the forums and someone had posted that when you do mushrooms, it speeds up the blood cycle through your brain, which gives you body shivers. I didn't post at the time, but I've been thinking about it since.

I typically get body shivers on the come up with hallucinogens, so I'm assuming that to be somewhat true. But it got me thinking about something else. If drugs were overloading and speeding up your body's homeostasis functions, then could they also speed up your neural transmitters? Perhaps, could drugs make you physically think faster? And if not physically think faster, perhaps perform cognition in the sub-conscious quicker.

Think about drugs even like adrenaline, in the heat of the moment I would argue that you are thinking faster or at the peak of an LSD trip, when you're thoughts are like millions of little strings darting this way and that, I'd argue you're thinking faster than average. But how much?

I'm working on a theory with the basis of E=MC^2, that if it was possible to travel faster than the speed of light, there would be no time. If there is no time, then such a thing is infinite. Could it be possible that our brains have the potential to "think" faster than the speed of light and achieve timelessness, or infinity? And maybe this potential is reached when the human brain is so "in the moment", so concentrated on the task, that there becomes no task i.e. acid trip, giving birth, near-death experience etc.

This could perhaps explain why hallucinogens seem to slow our perception of time. It's because our brain is traveling so fast, that internally, we are in fact, infinite.

my brain hurts!

I think that hallucinogens make it seem like your thoughts are going faster because of the sense of being able to pause on a moment and analyze it in intricate detail - unfiltered. Now, I don't believe that all drugs cause the neural network to fire at a faster rate. As far as the theory of relativity, Einstein didn't say time would cease to exist if something other than light traveled that speed. He said that A) The laws of physics are constant to all of us, and B) As things approach the speed of light, they start to expand infinitely, and C) Time is relative to and defined by the observer. Time is a concept that we construct in our minds every second of every day. It's a matter of physics, not neuroscience. It's like comparing apples to oranges. Now, I guess it's possible that hallucinogens change our perception of what a standard "second" or whatever is, giving us a sense that more thoughts are crammed into a smaller increment.

I was thinking about an asymptote NDE, where you forever get closer to the moment of your death by your brain perceiving more intervals of time before the moment of death. This thought was made more interesting by the claim that almost every death in the animal kingdom is accompanied by and background DMT overdose, which was proven by Dr. Strassman. It makes me happy to know that if I don't die in an incredibly quick and damaging death, like my head being blown off by a crackhead that I didn't give money to in the street, I will experience an extremely happy experience because I am happy right now. But alas everything can't be happy, every emotion is necessary for human cognition to perform correctly.

Well in order for it to make you shiver it would need to have an effect on the hypothalamus.

Your conciousness is not a continuous process, you literaly recreate it every 25ms...

There are realy only two forms of things... data (i.e. waves) and matter...

The two can be changed into each other... when it is a wave like light, time stops haveing any meaning.

But according to einstein each body experiences its own timeline... so time for everything else is normal.

it is more than possible... just not very plausible... Your body can do it without any outside chemicals under times of extreme stress; you know the whole "time seemed to stand still" effect? common among soldiers, officers, etc. some have even reported watching bullets go by in slow motion. I dont know enough about it to explain the mechanism, but in order for your body to push into that extreme of an adrenaline/?? mode, it temporarily shuts down some of the other body function, and is a huge drain on the body. not really something one could sustain for long periods of time... but if you could, in theory it would make you kind of like Neo from the matrix

I was messin with some good acid over the weedend. One hit of this stuff ur frying hard. I took one then dicided to take 2 more for kicks about 1 hour later. Anyways i was doing a lightshow for a few people and the acid peaked really hard. What happened next i could only describe as time fucking slowing down for like 10 secs. I was so in awe at it, i almost freaked out. I threw my lights down and turned off my music real fast and was like what the fuck just happened. SO i believe pychedelics could possibly move your thoughts so fast it slows down time a bit....idk crazy shit.
