Talk:Cannabis and time perception

Issues[edit]

Some sources have a disease-oriented systemic bias. For example, Atakan et al., 2012 (like many medical sources) treats the use of cannabis to alter time perception as a mental illness, ignoring the fact that the literature shows that creative professionals use psychoactive drugs to purposely alter time perception in order to augment their skills. Furthermore, the use of psychoactive substances throughout human history to alter consciousness is a cultural norm, not a deviant behavior. In western society, the use of caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and prescription drugs is accepted and considered normal. It appears that some authors are misapplying the disease-oriented model of medicine in a selective manner to some drugs while ignoring its cultural use as well as its benefits. Contrary to the claims of some authors, the alteration of human consciousness may be a normal part of everyday living. Viriditas (talk) 01:55, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wills (1998:273) reports that Perez-Reyes et al., 1991 found that the use of indometacin prevented the alteration of time perception during cannabis usage[1]
- William et al., 2004 report the same with CBD[2]
Wearden et al. (2014) show that cannabis users report that time passes more slowly for them. This was reported higher than any other drug.[3]
The first sentence in this article is directly contradictory with the rest of the article. Either the one reference provided is not itself authoritative or the rest of the evidence presented in this article is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wmyfowlkes (talk • contribs) 20:49, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, I don’t see the problem you describe. Would you care to quote the material that you find problematic so we can avoid ambiguity? Looking again, I think your problem is with the “inconsistent results” versus the reporting. However, there is a world of difference between the self-reporting of perceptual time distortion and understanding the scientific mechanism. I think that’s where you got confused.

There’s good information here that can be added to the article, but it needs to be done carefully per our policies and guidelines. Moving here for discussion. Viriditas (talk) 20:35, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I’m unable to access the NCBI article due to the link. Perhaps the user would like to check the link and update the correct one. CBD-natural and Leafly aren’t high quality sources reliable enough for this topic, however, the information they contain has links to high quality sources that could be used instead.
