Marijuana live longer?

[Polaf3456]

Even more amazing... they taught mice how to count seconds yet I cant even teach my cat to stop meowing

[joey724711]

Frigbee360 so exercise also speeds up you're heart rate and actually may pro-long your life... so what you actually mean is that artificially altering your heart rate (upper drugs) will result in a shorter life. Smoking weed responsibly is the best way to go :)

[upinsmoke656]

am i thinking right in that they are using synthetic drugs here????

[joey724711]

please give another rat some acid

[imixers]

Ok, we can discuss the afore mentioned procedure as long as we want but I would first wish to mention one thing - this is funny as shit :D The weed rat be chillin :D

[DrQxx]

The Rat on Marijuana want some taco bell NOT A FUCKING FOOD PELLET !

[punkkidd182]

cocaine makes 8 true seconds feel like 12 seconds. so everytime 8 seconds passes the mind has aged 4 more seconds than it should. at this rate, given THIS experiment, 8 years would feel like 12 years. the body would age 4 years beyond what it should in 8. ALTHOUGH the rat would not feel cheated because it percieves OLD the same way as other rats, just at different times. this is why humans die so young. because as they age they think its inevitable. that is your the flaw of you hairlessmonkeys.

[sexton333]

the weed one bull shit time flys when your stoned

[LJT93]

first of all marijauana isnt a fucking chemical its a plant, and i happen to smoke it everyday and have perfect sense of time and lungs, i can even tell time when i dont look at a clock or shit all

[yumyumluckycharms]

@LJT93 Uhhm... its a plant that has chemicals... THC.

[ReeceIsChronical]

@yumyumluckycharms

Nearly everything does. Doesn't mean it's a chemical itself. Having lots of different other "ingredients" if you will, far outweighs one "chemical"

[yumyumluckycharms]

@ReeceIsChronical true... thanks

[Liljorgea]

the rat is too stone. We smoke weed to make time go by faster like at work or school. We only want time to stope when we are playing video games.

[T3chyo]

You mean time goes by smoother so it feels like its going by faster because you're having a better time then sober?

[bglickst]

You all got it backwards. The cocaine rat perceived 8 seconds as though it were 12 seconds. This can be rephrased as the cocaine rat lived a perceived 12 seconds in the control rat's perceived 8 seconds. Time is moving 1.5 times *slower* for the cocaine rat and he is thus "living longer." This makes intuitive sense since you'd expect someone who perceived everything else as though it were moving very slowly to appear to move quickly from the perspective of the apparently slow moving others.

[Frigbee360]

No the physical aspects of having things move faster make you live shorter. Dragonflies and hummingbirds are two of the fastest living organisms with the shortest lifespans. Speeding up your heartrate and brain functions including rate at which chemicals release will sheorten your life. This is why lifetime crack addicts look much older than they actually are. Don't comment on things you know nothing about. Your feable attempt to seem smart failed miserably.

[bglickst]

You're talking about actual lifespan. I don't know why you couldn't tell from my putting "living longer" in quotes and focusing on "perception" that I was talking about perceived time. Absolutely nothing in this video has anything to do with actual lifespan and everything in this video has everything to do with perceived time. That aside, I also don't know where you got "attempt to seem smart" from, but whatever I guess. I think my point's simple enough.

[mojitobanana]

@Frigbee360 but bglickst was talking about Perception, not the physiologic aspects, right? And when it comes to the drugs, it's not a fountain of youth, merely an altering of one's perception...

[whoareyapauldunn]

@Frigbee360 crack addicts look much older? Maybe thats due to their overall lifestyle... not sure you really no what you are talking about sunshine

[XXXMRcoolkidXXX]

@Frigbee360 While I am a big time proponent of legalised marijuana throughout the world, you make too many assumptions with this video. Your first assumption is that similar effects can and will be replicated in humans (while lab rats are useful, results on them in a lab cannot always be replicated on humans). Speeding up bodily functions is not necessarily an indicator of a shortened life, an example can be found with the chemical caffeine.

[breynolds1337]

currently these rats are in rehab lol

[stephantarachiu]

10,00 FIRST! view. what. ^^

[Faztlan]

yeah, Marijuana impares your judgment, depletes the memory, and severly slows reaction time down. we get it.

[p3clark1]

@Faztlan

and make you happy =D

and laugh xD

and is fun =P

[moldyantics666]

poor cracked out rat

[Vwassel]

Too bad I'm allergic to marajuana

[Tairaa2]

LMFAO Title fail. This is perceived time.

We know that marijuana alters our perception of time. This doesn't even suggest that marijuana could make you live longer.

[Spartan404]

@Tairaa2 why not?....the only thing that matters is whats in your head....how you feel...if it feels longer, mentally it is....if u can make a minute feel like an hour, it'll be like u lived 60 lifetimes...

[Tairaa2]

Because despite what some people think, the world exists outside of our own mind, feeling like time is going slow is exactly that. In reality, time is quantitative and can be measured, and remains unaltered whether or not you smoke pot.

Besides, in my experience pot makes time go by faster, especially when you're doing something boring that you don't want to be doing. Just flies by. Then you're left thinking "Sweet, it's done"

[magicdanw]

@Tairaa2 Hehe...there was this guy, he was crazy, even he thought he was crazy! He was so crazy, he came up with this mathematical equation that proved that time flows at different speeds under different situations, and you can affect how fast or slow time flows for you. His name was Albert Einstein. Crazy, right? Time obviously flows at only one speed. Math is lying to us :P

[Tairaa2]

@magicdanw

Mmkay, first of all I said that it remains unaltered whether or not you smoke pot, not that it remains constant. Second, and more importantly, those difference situations your talking about is velocity. The faster you are travelling the slower time will progress, locally of course.

But since smoking pot doesn't make you travel any faster then you normally would sitting here on earth, my point stands. Pot won't make a difference to TIME. Only your perception. Thanks.

[Frigbee360]

Perception is all that matters to us humans. You must remember that our brains sit in darkness our entire lives never exposed to air or light. All that we know is from perception received from messages and impulses that are interpreted and translated into preceivable signals. Our perfection of time is important because the chemicals in our brain that control the timing also control the rhythmic chemical releases that drive all our organs and bodily functions.

[Tairaa2]

That importance is of course working under the assumption that a person who is cognitively experiencing a perseptual slowness in time will also trigger bodily mechanisms to slow as well. I don't believe this to be the case, especially considering most of the important functions the body performs are done without conscious thought.

[mojitobanana]

@Frigbee360 If one decides to fast periodically in his lifetime, he will lengthen is lifespan. Because his heart rate will slow down.

[Frigbee360]

If you can slow down the chemical triggers that control this timing on a cellular level through manipulation of the brain you can in fact theoretically extend a humans lifespan.

[r052476577]

@Tairaa2 You cant say time is the same for everyone, bad bad assumption. Tsk tsk.

[DAdZor]

But still ... those rats are so cute =D

[murderface0666]

this video basically says cocaine makes you exicted impatient, and weed makesyou very slow in the head, though they all age at the same rate

[chanc812]

Whats with all the 666 shit?

[CAOrellana777]

one word for this video Bulls**t marijuana making you live longer is like drinking making you think strait which is impossible

[exilius333]

Yet, I dont think it affects your perception of time much... just because the cocaine rat pressed the lever sooner doesnt mean it was waiting for 12 seconds in its mind.

[exilius333]

You can alter your perception of time without these drugs if you know how...

Expand your awareness to all senses.. try to feel as much as you can at once and time will slow down because you're recording more. That's the effect of marijuana....

Marijuana only shows you a possible state of mind.... that's it.

[ConnorShawMusic]

very true

[LaiPt]

WHAT KINDA BULLSHIT TITLE IS THIS?

Marijuana makes humans perceive time much slower, it doesn't prolong life.

[FunNotNuts]

That was very insightful and also quite funny.

[mben92]

this doesnt say marijuana extends your life, it says when you are on it it distorts your perception of time.

[tumarkhan]

you mean coke makes humans live longer, but marijuana shorter

[msmarcymonroe]

I'm surprised the rat on cocaine pressed the button for food at all! Who ever heard of someone wanting to eat while high on coke?!

[alexrulz911]

sorry diegopunk i fucking press the spam button instead of the reply button because i dont pay attention but i totally get what you're saying dude. sorry again i feel like a douche

[diegopunk]

TIME is an illusion!

time is a concept

time is only relevant to perception

once we realize only thing thats tru is The NOW then well see were ONE! one organism!

[frvfilms]

take dmt...

[KidnappinToyzLA]

dimethyltryptamine will put all this in perspective =)

[wrtback]

This is Bull Shit. Right??

[Frigbee360]

No this is totally legit.

[Sickj66]

Ahhh.....that's why kops have you guess time when they think your on something. They think you're nothing but a rat.

[mashford911]

haha weed rat is all like "i have no idea was going on"

[mattshane]

i guess im missing the part where it makes you live longer, sounds like a bullshit video tittle to me, but SMOKE UP it probably wont make you live longer but its not bad

[DbozenD]

Lol so if you think times goes slower, and your body reactions are slow you gonna leave longer wtf?

Rat on cocaine is tripping. LOL

Weed rat is just standing by the thing and chilling.

[thesepipesRclean]

Did aliens create your huge vagina ?

[thesepipesRclean]

I was a coked up rat in a former life .

[alienscreatedhumans]

FUCK OFF DUMB CUNT

[tckfui]

back in my day everyone smoked pot, and we didn't just do it because it was the thing to do, or because it made you live longer, we smoked it cuz it got ya high!

[chaosinesco]

half baked

[cpk9999]

id be there test subject for the weed

[BobsterzROCKS]

the coke rat is tripping out hahaha

[DocMan610]

how the hell does this work out to making them live longer....

[HiMrWoman]

[badjesus666]

I wanna be the marijuana rat when they do big rat studies.

[falkerk]

no you dont. When the tested pot on monkeys it was straight smoke and no oxygen, they will kill you. lol dont trust those scienctist (spelling) jj

[SilentBud420]

ahhah the music for the rats on cocaine and wweed is funny

[General47645BE]

I'd think the weed rat would press it early, having the munchies and all.

[SuaRezzz]

what will happen if you give them coke and weed at the same time?

will it even out? :d

or wil the coke effect be enforced or the weed?

[Clyaton]

I plan on living forever.. I smoke daily.. So far so good, I feel alive!

[xXFynnXx]

hahaha poor cocaine rat, he looked so pissed.

[SashaDunn]

lol

[10243406]

ahhahahah...

[SpoofyTMSGOGF]

Haha.

Cocaine - 4 seconds early.

Marijuana - 4 seconds late.

Coincidence!?

[DaniboyBR2]

Good, maybe Ill live 200 years.

=D
