I smoked catnip yesterday for the first time with my girlfriend. we both noticed a very relaxed sensation, and I personally was so relaxed that I felt couch locked. similar to weed, but it isn't impairing.
I feel that the sleep quality is good with catnip it's like a deep sleep and I find it especially effective if it's night time vs if it was still sunny
One of mine didn't react to it before he was about 1 yr. As a kitten he couldn't care less, but now he (6 yrs old) totally zones out and the drooling is insane =)
Green olives also drive some cats crazy. Isoprenoids in green olives (and apparently, some peppers) have a similar effect on the same receptors that are responsible for getting them high on catnip.
Thanks for your video, very informative! I wanted to see a video as complete as yours about the effect of catnip on humans, and cats, then voila!, thank you! thank you! :)
My 21 and 18 year old male cats, loved Catnip. Only fresh, home grown. I had to hide the pots of nip from them, otherwise they would mow down the entire pot at 1 sitting. I love and miss them!
I grow cat nip in my garden after finding all 4 of my cats not wanting the store bought version. The fresh pulled up cat nip drives them insane. They love crewing on the root and rolling on the stems.
i cut my weed with catnip to make it last longer, or just regular old kitchen mint if i dont have any, so that study about if catnip got humans high by itself definitely caught my attention 😂
i’ve never seen catnip before. i only saw it in this video. i then had flashbacks to me eating a mint like/looking thing. it looked exactly like catnip lol
5:24 Frequency leading to reduced response is not a thing in my Loki. He gets it every day and acts like a fool every time. My Loki acts just like yours lol. My kitty Schrodinger liked it too but he didn't react the same. He was unaltered whereas Loki is altered. Maybe that made a difference. Also, I trained them using fresh catnip. I trained them to sit, wait, high five, high five with the opposite paw, and sit up. Loki also plays dead when I say "bang". Schrodinger thought that was just to undignified a step. lol
I used to make a mixture that seemed to reverse the effects of can*abyss. Veteran smokers would seem to have the tolerance of a first timer and those who smoke lightly can smoke like champs. 1 G of can*abyss to 1 G of pipe tobacco of your choice, the kind used for roll your own cigarettes works second best but if you have a hookah with charcoals then hookah tobacco is best, 1 G of DRIED mint plant BUDS are best yet DRIED mint leave will substitute (I like chocolate mint better), and 0.5 G of DRIED catnip BUDS and PRE-FLOWERED buds are best and flowered buds are second best and if neither are available DRIED leaves will substitute.
Do catnip-responsive cats who haven't been fixed react to catnip in different or stronger ways? It occurs to me that this might be the case. Also, if we can connect cat genes to catnip response, can we tell which humans are responsive to some drugs via genetics? It could actually lead to extra preventative measures for addictive substances for some. Seems potentially useful.
I've always thought catnip was weird. Why do we like to turn on cats?? Why would cats even like that? It seems like it would be annoying to me, since they never actually get to satisfy the urges that are making them act, "high."
Should have been titled 'What I found when I searched does catnip get humans high', but I got really high and went with a misleading but more interesting title instead.
I thought so as well maybe it changed 🤔 also @tashikrTV rude... edit* she was referencing both mcgruff the crime dog and dare it just was phrased strangely :D
tashikrTV It was a question. I’m not sure if they happened to have a different mascot during their D.A.R.E. experience. No need to be negative :D Smile a little.
If Charlie is already happy he may not want to impregnate Panda , Manchitas , and Boots ... We're hoping Little Charlie is still too little to be interested ...
If you grow your own and not think it’s fresh from the store- which it Is Not , it does work as a decent replacement for cannabis. It does give a long lasting high effect with no form of hunger. Oil infusions have been made since the dawn of time however pregnant woman and people with kidney issues should consult their Doctors on using essential oils of Cat Mitt.
My cat protects her catnip mouse toy like it’s her baby. Don’t touch or get the claws. Until she’s bored with it... EDIT: don’t believe anything DARE says. They’re a propaganda machine that is not based by scientific evidence. PS: the author of The Drug User Bible discusses catnip and it’s effects. Highly recommend this amazing book.
So how about cats and pot? If their noses are so much stringer than ours, might a cat in a room filled with pot smoke go into a deeper induced sleep or something?
damn we have a lot of plants like that here. It's kinda like a wild plant It's just everywhere so people don't care about it. lol In my country we call that oregano. It has some kind of little hair on its leaves that's barely visible and they smell really minty.
@@neurotransmissions two things: 1) about silver vine and 2 about feline sexual drive behavior. 1)I was about to say that mine react to Silver vine sticks too. But while in catnip leaves are used, in the folder vine its trunk or stem ( the branches with no leaves) is presented to the cats. I know that some cats that don't react to catnip they do to silver vine, as the person above mentioned. I wonder if both plants activate the same neurological path, or if they use a different paths , even though the behaviors resembles to be similar. 2) I'm an Abyssinian cat breeder and trainer. As a breeder I can see similarities in the catnip and silver vine reaction of the cats to the high (hyperactive) rolling behavior of female cats after copulation or mating. How ever, I find interesting that , while males don't show that sexual behavior at any moment at all nor before nor during nor after the copulation,l males do show exactly the same response to the catnip and silver vine that their counterpart females do, which makes me wonder if the hypothesis of catnip being closer to viagra than to marihuana is correct or not. And if it is correct, then are feline male and female mating climax (orgasms) neurologically different? could sexual climax on human females and males be neurologocally different as well? could catnip/ silver vine make male felines neurologically perceive what females feel after mating, which otherwise they would not? If female felines do ovulate because of the completion of the mating, which induces the similar response that "catnip" does, would it mean that catnip could induce ovulation on female cats? :)
"bro you got some of that nipnip?"
"let's trip on deez nip bro"
Ohh no the fuzz is here
LMAOAOOAKJS
@@thegreatwangg u boofin dat nipnip, yo?
cmon..don't bogard that nip..
7:23 Loki's rolling around living his best life, while Bill's back there having an existential crisis. 😂
hahahahahaha
Def felt both of these extremes while on human nip.
I was about to say the same thing hahaha
😭😭
Love this 💀
I smoked catnip yesterday for the first time with my girlfriend. we both noticed a very relaxed sensation, and I personally was so relaxed that I felt couch locked. similar to weed, but it isn't impairing.
It's a good tobacco alternative. Tastes nice and it's relaxing like a cigarette
Couch locked is how I explain my few reactions with Sour Diesel 😅
Did you just admit to the whole that you smoked catnip 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥲
what does couch locked mean
I feel that the sleep quality is good with catnip it's like a deep sleep and I find it especially effective if it's night time vs if it was still sunny
Interesting, 2/3 of cats have a response to the nip. I have three cats, and two of them love nip, and the youngest is definitely indifferent.
My young one (around 8 months old) is indifferent to it, sort of sniffs it, but then just Meh!
One of mine didn't react to it before he was about 1 yr. As a kitten he couldn't care less, but now he (6 yrs old) totally zones out and the drooling is insane =)
Who else is here because they're out of weed lmao
MEEE
Hahahahah me too.....
Meee 2 lmaoo
Litterally bruh lmfao
Idc how desperate a mf get. I’m not smoking it. Tf. Rather just go sober.
At 7:21 Bill is all like "What has my life come to?"
Loll
"It's more like giving your cat Viagra or ecstasy." And now I'm uncomfortable with my purchase.
I’ll make sure to give my cat some alone time next time
Bill's like my buddy who gets high and just sits in the corner paranoid for the rest of the night
In a tea form, yes, you can get a mellow buzz going.
Drinking some catnip valerian tea right now. Definitely very calming.
Loki was going crazy haha. I also loved that Bill gave a casual wink. It was so adorable ♥️. Great video!! I might try this with my cat now!
We tried smoking catnip when we were young and trying everything....it gives you a sleepy feeling. Very mild. Nothing like weed.
6:56 *my friend after smoking pot for the first time*
I still have some ferals I feed who only come back for the nip!
They are all TNRs so they are "fixed" but they love it! :)
Thanks for a cool vid! :)
What a coincidence, I literally just uploaded my video about why we watch cat videos 😂
You guys found an even more interesting topic though 😊
No go away
Woww self promo
6:57 ".... and the schnozzberrries taste like schnozzberries..."
Loki is the hedonist....Bill is the philosopher...
The pizza is an edible for cats

My cat loooooves catnip, and will eat the entire thing everytime I plant one
hes a drug addict now

Thank you for letting me watch your cats have fun. I'm allergic. So I can't enjoy that. Great video.
Kitties getting high for science 😂😂😂
Catnip was used as an alternative for marijuana in the 1960s? You've gotta be kitten me!
i cut my weed with catnip to make it last longer, or just regular old kitchen mint if i dont have any, so that study about if catnip got humans high by itself definitely caught my attention 😂
I love this!! Really interesting! Good explanation as well
My cat doesn't react to catnip at all - just ignores it.
i’ve never seen catnip before. i only saw it in this video. i then had flashbacks to me eating a mint like/looking thing. it looked exactly like catnip lol

catnip literally help my cat have a cute baby and become a father with 3 sons
My cat didn't care for catnip, she'd sniff it but didn't really care but she looooved the smell of wool/lanolin
I have a gene in me that makes the coriander taste like soap ..... will I be "stoned" with the catnip?? Lol
WoW ok I thought she was gonna try to get high off of it not get a lecture about how it works...but this is good too-
6:58 bro's contemplating life
It doesn't necessarily get me HIGH, but it makes going to sleep easier. Super relaxing.
Humans can sury get high on cats!
Wow, I think a few people will think twice before giving the cats catnip. So if we watch, is that wrong???😯
i can confirm, catnip does relax people and makes you sweat, also a mild aphrodisiac
It basically just helps humans sleep. In tea form.
Is it just me or does catnip smell really good I’m talking about the catnip just pulled off of the plant by the way not the dried out stuff
I high-key love Loki
Should be called CATRIP 😆
There is this website you can use to get around pay walls for journal articles it's called sci hub super handy saved me a lot of pain when researching
Looked on scihub, but no dice

Awww poor bill can't buzz
lmfao cats high af
hey. i just smoked catnip without looking up what would happen. wish me luck XD
OH SHIT
@@canyouactuallydont4997 lol
How was it
It's 3am here...I can't sleep and keep thinking about can human smell catnip??...thanks for the videos, btw...hello from Malaysia ✌️
what about the ethics of doing so and what are the long term effects on them?

I don't believe you if you say you don't use sci hub...
She replied on a different comment "no luck". Not everything's on sci hub unfortunately.
Could you do a vid on silvervine?
I tryed before watched the video. I feel something different. So, my question is works?
Should have been titled 'What I found when I searched does catnip get humans high', but I got really high and went with a misleading but more interesting title instead.

Question.
How is the decline in birthrates related with pet ownership?
Cause I think this might be significant, for obvious reasons.
Ah yes. That’s a cat brain all right

all my cats love catnip thay role in it and get all hipt up and one even eats it then thay fool asleep after abit
All three of my cats love it
“Yo you got some meow meow wee?”
Both of my cats love it but they behave differently.
Grow your own, the buds are the best part.
Is it safe?
Yes. Catnip has a sedative effect on people. It use to be brewed into a tea
Wow!!! You're neuroscientist and luckily bought a thing which makes a cat high... 😳😳 Looks the universe said: you need to study this my darling 🤣
It doesn't I've tried. I ate it, made tea and nothing ...
I LOVE CATS 🐱
Yes they like it very much
Let's just call it animal nip lol

bro like, I have ADHD
You can Drink it as a tea also
It’s as easy as rolling that shit up
Is it true that kittens don’t get high on catnip?
i was watch the cat mix on this channel and i looked at the comments and got confused.
It's a good thing that cats aren't trained to sniff drugs
They can be
@@BringBackCyParkVendingMachines what the hell?
@kubakielbasa5987 ? What it's true. You can train dogs do sniff drugs. Why not cats?

Second hand weed smoke is harmful to kittys.
