So they say when you're high, your perception of time is slow. But in the real world you're able to do really everything. Drive, cook, workout, etc. But driving needs you to react fast, so if we're able to use reflexes in a normal time perception, doesn't that mean our time perception is not slow? But simply the world around us becomes slow. Yeah
At the last house I was living at, they had an alarm system and since I am a night person.. I'd always be the one to set it. It was loud as hell and when you set it, it beeps for exactly 30 seconds. Since it was so loud and long, I would cover the speaker up with my hands. On nights that I was sober, it felt like 30 seconds. Nights that I was baked, it felt like it took over a minute.. and nights that I was drunk, felt like 10-15 seconds. My take on it is when you're high, you're processing faster.. even if you don't consciously feel it, its happening on a subconscious level. You process "time" faster and because of that, time feels slower. When you're drunk, your senses and brain are dulled and you process slower.. making time virtually fly by.
perception of time=/=real time real time, to my knowledge, deals with light. if you can slow down light, you can slow down the light reflecting off things, if you do that, then things appear to move slower, so our whole notion of time is based off light. gettin high ain't gonna change the light, just your perception. sometimes when im high, time seems to drag, other times, its bed time before i know it lol
I've always had the feeling that time passes at an incredibly slow rate, but very quickly at the same time. It's all relative. I have noticed that I read a lot faster (I.E. using less real time to read the same thread on G.C.) but when I have to do anything that involves moving, it takes way longer. I don't notice that it takes longer, just when I go to the store and walk home for example, it's way later than I think it should be. I don't think there's a constant, it's just random as hell.

It's possible that space and time are just cognitive constructs, and that the "real world" doesn't actually have those properties at all. The human mind needs to utilize the concepts of space and time in order to understand reality, but independently of our thoughts, they don't exist objectively. As you point out, time is also a construct in physics - but physics itself is a human attempt to understand reality. By the way, everyone interested in this topic should check out this paper: [SIZE=12pt]Stetson, C., Fiesta, M. P., & Eagleman, D. M. (2007). Does time really slow down during a frightening event? PLoS ONE, 2(12), e1295.[/SIZE] [SIZE=12pt]Stetson and colleagues (2007) had their subjects perform a visual digit identification task while free-falling for 31 meters into a safety net. The subjects estimated the duration of their fall as 36% longer than it really was, but there was no difference in performance of the digit identification task during freefall compared with on the ground. The researchers concluded that “duration dilation†is a function of memory, not perception, as the subjects retroactively overestimated the time duration, but there was no evidence of improved temporal resolution during the visual task.[/SIZE]
How about experiences that allow for detailed recall. The moment before a car accident. Catching a game winning ball. A moment when your body is taking in every detail of from your senses and sending it directly to memory. This super fast storage makes you feel like time is slowing down but its the rate of your perception that has increased. The body does this in order to either repeat the action if it resulted in pleasure or to avoid dangerous situations in the future. Some strains might be better than others at artificially putting the body into that state. My question is what strains feel more slow motion for you.
