Is an octopus _not_ on ecstasy just as freaked out by an octopus that _is_ on ecstasy as I would be by a dude coming up and rubbing himself on _my_ enclosure?
I worked with octopuses in a Aquarium and they all had very different personalities. One was a neat freak so I would change her toys all around and she would come out and put them back where they belong. One ate too fast and got indigestion so his food was put in ice to slow down his eating. One was a show off and would put his belly and tentacles on the from glass to make a display. They were very fun.
Kez C have you ever heard about that honey that bees produce that get you high?? It’s somewhere in the Tibetan mountains and like once a year for a very short period of time this “Golden nectar” is harvested it’s used as a medication of some sort I would also assume it has abspiritual aspect on the tribe as well
Mike Rose yes, to ppl who are interested look up Himalayan honey bees and Nepali honey ‘mad honey’ ‘red honey’, which have psychoactive/ hallucinogenic properties and helps with various health problems✌🏼
I was diagnosed with complex PTSD, and in my 20s I spent 2 years taking either LSD or Shrooms almost every weekend. After about 2 years of doing this, I just kinda lost my desire to do it. I also stopped having the vast majority of PTSD symptoms.
Cool but personally I am depressed either way :( I don't think a trip would be good for me nowadays because my state of mind is not good/positive and I fear that would cause a bad trip or something like a breakdown. After my little brother and mom died 5 months apart I was never the same. Too fragile for any bad trips
That's why people experience being obducted by aliens... Scientists take those people out of their natural habitat by first drugging them with laboratory-grade drugs and then putting them in their labs. The labs are designed to look like a spaceship and the scientists wear alien costumes during their experiments on those poor people. When they get released from those weird labs nobody believes them even though they actually saw "aliens" doing experiments on them :/
Has anyone ever seen the video of spiders being given different drugs and how it affected the way they weaved their webs??? That was pretty interesting.
I have PTSD and taking low doses of shrooms genuinely helps the symptoms of my ptsd (usually just general anxiety, I have trouble being around people even if I know them) and it helped me quit taking Xanax and dxm.

Well I know that you can buy psilocybin from certain sources for scientific purposes. It's probably a bit harder to get stuff like heroine and cocaine, but I'm also quite sure that it is bought from and regulated by whichever government they are working under. I'm also quite sure there is a lot of paperwork involved to keep track of how much was bought and how much of the supply has been used to help keep people from stealing it and selling it on the street.

Octopus on ecstasy:"whoa dude! Feel my hand, WHOA DUDE!!! Feel my other hand, WHOA DUDE!!! Feel my other hand, WHOA DUDE!!! Feel my other hand, WHOA DUDE!!! Feel my other hand, WHOA DUDE!!! Feel my other hand, WHOA DUDE!!! Feel my other hand, WHOA DUDE!!! Feel my other hand,
I can’t find the report but it was rated as the “safest” illicit drug by ER doctors. By safest they cited the percentage of people who took them then required medical attention
Incidentally, that “vaccine against oxycodone” one sounds a lot like the story of that tick that’s making people allergic to red meat. Basically, this tick bites animals often to consume their blood, including a particular protein known as alpha-gal for short (I need to jog my memory on the details). When the tick bites a human, this protein is injected into the body with everything else, and the resulting massive immune reaction basically makes the body enact a sweeping travel ban against everything that came in with the bite, including the alpha-gal. Thus, if the bitten person eats red meat after that, the alpha-gal will trigger an allergic reaction. You think a similar principle could be used with drugs? Though this one triggers a massive allergic reaction rather than simply blocking it with antibodies, and it may not even destroy the drug.
In the forest of northern AZ you can find magic mushrooms by following certain deer trails. The deer love to eat them and they know where the patches grow. Me and my brother found a patch of amanita muscaria mushrooms that a deer trail led directly too. We had to get the ones that hadn't quite popped up above ground yet because the deer would eat all the ones above ground.
Gave my spiders weed all summer with out knowing. See, where I was smoking on my deck in the evening I noticed that many of the spiders were building webs underneath where I sit, with all the smoke going right up into their webs and let me tell ya, never got bit by one fly or mosquito all summer. The webs were strange in design( think right angle triangle types), but were better at catching food and thc because it was built by 7 separate spiders at once in a smallish area, little arses got creative lol.
There's a video on RUclips called "spiders on drugs" and it's beyond funny, it was the first video, on RUclips that I ever watched. "Drinking from cups with lizards" was the second and I almost peed my pants watching it
MDMA was actually first used in therapy sessions to make the paitent more loose and open with their true feelings without really being embarrassed to express their self's. Truth.. the more you know 😁😎
Luckily researchers are being given more liberty to experiment with MDMA and other psychedelics in recent years. So far it looks like they're promising treatments for a number of mental illnesses, even addictions.
That is false. It was first used as a precursor to another drug, and then in the 60s became popular recreationally before its therapeutic benefits were explored.
Great information. As a former morphine patient and nurse, anyone who takes an opioid for an extended period of time will become addicted. A person that takes the same prescribed amount every day will become psychologically addicted. If they try to stop "cold turkey" they will go into withdrawal. This is the same withdrawal that an "addict" or "junkie" will go through (dopesick). What keeps most people hooked is the desire to not feel sick (it's like the flu multiplied several times over). Another spine injury patient described it to me like they "thought they were dying." I just wanted to clarify that it is possible to "use a medication correctly" and still be addicted. This is not uncommon in chronic pain patients.
You are absolutely right. Many of the soldiers that were wounded in Vietnam came home addicted to pain medication. Since there was really no treatment for this at the time a lot of them ended up as junkies dying as often as those who hadn't ever been prescribed opiates. I believe this has been true in plenty of other combat situations but it was Vietnam that brought it to medical and social attention as it was considered a "new" phenomena and was denied by the army doctors, (and by that time everybody knew that the army lied about everything).
The psilocybin one was really interesting. I've often said that it's good to 'trip reset' once every couple years, because you eventually reach a state where you appreciate everything in life 'as it is' without negative judgements. I always thought that it was because the brain gets so confused during the trip, it resets all the habitual thought processes your brain had previously created. You move past fears like social anxiety, implementing a regimen without fear of failure -- just a general positivity for all things. But again, once every couple years. Oh, and there are microdoses that people use to manage innovation in a typical day.
My life has been pretty f*cord over the past year but when I took shrooms last a couple weeks ago I found myself able to lay down in my bed, look at my ceiling and think to myself with a genuine smile, “life is gonna be tough, but I’m ready”
I do shrooms/lsd once or twice a year and i find it helps me see a different perspective on whats going on in my life and how i can take further action to grow myself. I dont agree with abusing them like some people i know who take them almost every weekend and they're usually more miserable than those who dont even use them. Moderation is key
@@danielhanlon8438 I read so much positive feedback online but still the possibility of dropping into psychosis is too big of a risk for me. I wish science could find out either which people can and cannot tolerate hallucinogens or how to make a trip 100% safe. Bad trips are one thing but I don't wanna end up real messed up on psychotropic drugs in a ward.

@@robertjarman3703 not sure if you're disagreeing or adding information, but yes. In double blind experiment, the researcher doesn't know whether which treatment group the individual is in - the group receiving the treatment or the placebo group - to prevent either group from acting differently.
Someone didn't pay attention to the video. Scientists don't perform experiments out of boredom. They do so to learn things. It's understandable why a person like you would make that error.
I don't know when this video was made but...... they do have a pill and monthly injection that negates opiates. Not arcane which is for overdoses but a drug that renders the user unable to feel the pleasurable effects of opiates such as percocet and heroin.
Tripping lab mouse: "whoa, look at all the colors!" Lab mouse's friend: "We're mice. We don't see colors." Tripping lab mouse: "So, like, what if we're not actually mice?" Lab mouse's friend: " Whoa! Ya know, we don't talk either!"
Sometimes, the act of giving something to someone, in this case the octupus, can alter their behavior. For example, if the drug was given through injection, the simple fact that they were injected could increase their stress and make them act differently. To make sure that the only variable affecting the behavior is the drug, you would give an MDMA injection to one group and a saline injection to the other group. If the behavior is different, then you know that the injection itself isn't doing anything since both groups received it. If you just do nothing with the control group and you see a difference, you have no way of knowing what caused the reaction (the drug or the injection itself).
I understand the concept of a placebo, but that would mean they assumed that the octopuses understood the whole concept of drugs, drug testing, control groups, etc. UNLESS it had been an injection - then I guess that would be understandable. But if they’re just slipping something into their food . . . I know octopuses are extremely intelligent, but really?
Hey Octopuses have rights, too! I mean if they are going to give the drugs to the creatures, they have to accept the consequences. They will just have to budget for more glow sticks next time :-)
A moment of silence for Tusko. . . . . . "Tusko" was also the name of a male Indian elephant at the Oklahoma City Zoo. On August 3, 1962, researchers from the University of Oklahoma injected (human use involves oral ingestion) 297 mg of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) to him, which is over 1,000 times the dose typical of human recreational use. Within five minutes he collapsed to the ground and one hour and forty minutes later he died. It is believed that the LSD was the cause of his death, although some speculate that the drugs the researchers used in an attempt to revive him may have contributed to his death. ~wikipedia . What the scientists learned? . DON'T GIVE ELEPHANTS LSD!!
Since there have been human beings who didn't die from taking a thousand times the normal dose, I have to think that LSD didn't kill the elephant. Yes, it was probably the additional drugs that did it. But, we now know what Tusko saw before he died: ruclips.net/video/jcZUPDMXzJ8/видео.html
Since we're being pedantic, To all those commenting on the "incorrectness" of his usage of "octopuses": *You* are incorrect! Octopuses is actually the correct plural, and the adopted "i" form (octopi) is now considered an acceptable alternative, even though it was originally incorrect. Do your research!
#5 is more or less the premise of Stamet's psilocybin stack for ptsd that is currently in application in the patent office last I heard. Psilocybin+ lions mane as a ptsd treatment. In my experience it works extremely well compared to the other treatments on the market (which tend to temporarily help then make things worse).
i took a high dose of psilocybin (30g) in the Netherlands, the next day after taking the drug and coming off it i felt amazing and any sad or depressive thoughts i had before were gone, now 2 months later i have noticed my memory has improved, i can remember the most smallest detail about things that happened when i was just 7 years old and in primary school, things that even happened when i was just 3 years old, in which these memories were later confirmed by my parents to be true! This is a wonder drug that should be made a part of our diet to further our mental development. I genuinely now believe in the stoned ape theory after trying the drug my self.

I love the idea that you give an octopus a placebo so that it won't know whether it actually got the MDMA. Otherwise, it might just trick itself into thinking it's high when it's really not.
I think the placebo is for the humans? So the humans dont think they see a certain behavior because they expect it? Then again they didnt mention having two sets of researchers so that they dont know which is which until after.

@@altoid8450 kinda but it's way different and just do you know I was an addict for 15 yrs so I do not put myself above you micro-dosing is using such a small amount that it rarely has any effect as far as a high but they have been finding out that the effect has been good and even great on whatever it is they are studying .....it's been on so many different topics and so many different drugs it's kinda cool man if the government is gonna allow it?? But like they say EVERYTHING in moderation!!!😁✌
Altoid 84 That's not how every addict starts. That's how a lot start to justify it, but by the time you're needing to justify it you're already beyond a small dose. A small dose wouldn't harm you physically, socially, nor financially, and if it doesnt bring negative consequences then it's not an addiction. Addiction through the "just a little bit" pathway comes because people take "just enough to feel it."
I thought it was silently agreed that more than one octopus is called octopi...saying octopuses just makes you sound remedial even if its used properly.

Magic mushrooms have enormous medical potential. The sooner we get over the war on drugs, the sooner we can use that utility.
Waiting for the day. Can't tell you how beneficial they'd be for the mental health society
I can’t find the report but it was rated as the “safest” illicit drug by ER doctors. By safest they cited the percentage of people who took them then required medical attention
Preach!
Shrooms are a medicine. For the spirit and for the mind
Here in Canada they are legal now! There's weed/shroom delivery services 🤣😆
Incidentally, that “vaccine against oxycodone” one sounds a lot like the story of that tick that’s making people allergic to red meat. Basically, this tick bites animals often to consume their blood, including a particular protein known as alpha-gal for short (I need to jog my memory on the details). When the tick bites a human, this protein is injected into the body with everything else, and the resulting massive immune reaction basically makes the body enact a sweeping travel ban against everything that came in with the bite, including the alpha-gal. Thus, if the bitten person eats red meat after that, the alpha-gal will trigger an allergic reaction. You think a similar principle could be used with drugs? Though this one triggers a massive allergic reaction rather than simply blocking it with antibodies, and it may not even destroy the drug.
In the forest of northern AZ you can find magic mushrooms by following certain deer trails. The deer love to eat them and they know where the patches grow. Me and my brother found a patch of amanita muscaria mushrooms that a deer trail led directly too. We had to get the ones that hadn't quite popped up above ground yet because the deer would eat all the ones above ground.

Gave my spiders weed all summer with out knowing. See, where I was smoking on my deck in the evening I noticed that many of the spiders were building webs underneath where I sit, with all the smoke going right up into their webs and let me tell ya, never got bit by one fly or mosquito all summer. The webs were strange in design( think right angle triangle types), but were better at catching food and thc because it was built by 7 separate spiders at once in a smallish area, little arses got creative lol.

@General.E.Shady lol wow I could just imagine a marriage counseling session on ex now😁😎
Luckily researchers are being given more liberty to experiment with MDMA and other psychedelics in recent years. So far it looks like they're promising treatments for a number of mental illnesses, even addictions.

That is false. It was first used as a precursor to another drug, and then in the 60s became popular recreationally before its therapeutic benefits were explored.

Great information. As a former morphine patient and nurse, anyone who takes an opioid for an extended period of time will become addicted. A person that takes the same prescribed amount every day will become psychologically addicted. If they try to stop "cold turkey" they will go into withdrawal. This is the same withdrawal that an "addict" or "junkie" will go through (dopesick). What keeps most people hooked is the desire to not feel sick (it's like the flu multiplied several times over). Another spine injury patient described it to me like they "thought they were dying." I just wanted to clarify that it is possible to "use a medication correctly" and still be addicted. This is not uncommon in chronic pain patients.
You are absolutely right. Many of the soldiers that were wounded in Vietnam came home addicted to pain medication. Since there was really no treatment for this at the time a lot of them ended up as junkies dying as often as those who hadn't ever been prescribed opiates. I believe this has been true in plenty of other combat situations but it was Vietnam that brought it to medical and social attention as it was considered a "new" phenomena and was denied by the army doctors, (and by that time everybody knew that the army lied about everything).
The psilocybin one was really interesting. I've often said that it's good to 'trip reset' once every couple years, because you eventually reach a state where you appreciate everything in life 'as it is' without negative judgements. I always thought that it was because the brain gets so confused during the trip, it resets all the habitual thought processes your brain had previously created. You move past fears like social anxiety, implementing a regimen without fear of failure -- just a general positivity for all things. But again, once every couple years. Oh, and there are microdoses that people use to manage innovation in a typical day.
I try to go every full moon, helps my anxiety alot.
My life has been pretty f*cord over the past year but when I took shrooms last a couple weeks ago I found myself able to lay down in my bed, look at my ceiling and think to myself with a genuine smile, “life is gonna be tough, but I’m ready”
I do shrooms/lsd once or twice a year and i find it helps me see a different perspective on whats going on in my life and how i can take further action to grow myself. I dont agree with abusing them like some people i know who take them almost every weekend and they're usually more miserable than those who dont even use them. Moderation is key
@@danielhanlon8438 I read so much positive feedback online but still the possibility of dropping into psychosis is too big of a risk for me. I wish science could find out either which people can and cannot tolerate hallucinogens or how to make a trip 100% safe. Bad trips are one thing but I don't wanna end up real messed up on psychotropic drugs in a ward.
I think every few months is fine too. At least once a year for that great reset and healing.

How do you give octopus placebo
Placebo is also for the researcher. So that thinking an animal has been given mdma doesn't impact how you observe that animal.
@@SG-we1qh Wow thank you!
Sanusha Galappathy That would be for maintaining a double blind experiment.
@@robertjarman3703 not sure if you're disagreeing or adding information, but yes. In double blind experiment, the researcher doesn't know whether which treatment group the individual is in - the group receiving the treatment or the placebo group - to prevent either group from acting differently.

I'm more down with the octopus MDMA hugging session.
The magic mouse with ptsd in my case!
Can anyone explain why they felt the need to give a placebo to the un-drugged set of octopuses?
Funny, was gonna write the same thing.
They needed a control set-up to compare the results.
The act of giving something to the octopus could change its behavior, rather than the drug itself. The control was to rule this out.
Sometimes, the act of giving something to someone, in this case the octupus, can alter their behavior. For example, if the drug was given through injection, the simple fact that they were injected could increase their stress and make them act differently. To make sure that the only variable affecting the behavior is the drug, you would give an MDMA injection to one group and a saline injection to the other group. If the behavior is different, then you know that the injection itself isn't doing anything since both groups received it. If you just do nothing with the control group and you see a difference, you have no way of knowing what caused the reaction (the drug or the injection itself).
I understand the concept of a placebo, but that would mean they assumed that the octopuses understood the whole concept of drugs, drug testing, control groups, etc. UNLESS it had been an injection - then I guess that would be understandable. But if they’re just slipping something into their food . . .
I know octopuses are extremely intelligent, but really?
The octopus started hugging the other one 🤣 that’s ecstasy for ya
Now all captive octopuses on ecstasy demand glow sticks, pacifiers and terrible four on the floor techno disco.
Hey Octopuses have rights, too! I mean if they are going to give the drugs to the creatures, they have to accept the consequences. They will just have to budget for more glow sticks next time :-)
A moment of silence for Tusko.

"Tusko" was also the name of a male Indian elephant at the Oklahoma City Zoo. On August 3, 1962, researchers from the University of Oklahoma injected (human use involves oral ingestion) 297 mg of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) to him, which is over 1,000 times the dose typical of human recreational use. Within five minutes he collapsed to the ground and one hour and forty minutes later he died. It is believed that the LSD was the cause of his death, although some speculate that the drugs the researchers used in an attempt to revive him may have contributed to his death. ~wikipedia
.
What the scientists learned?
.
DON'T GIVE ELEPHANTS LSD!!
Since there have been human beings who didn't die from taking a thousand times the normal dose, I have to think that LSD didn't kill the elephant. Yes, it was probably the additional drugs that did it.
But, we now know what Tusko saw before he died:

To all those commenting on the "incorrectness" of his usage of "octopuses":

#5 is more or less the premise of Stamet's psilocybin stack for ptsd that is currently in application in the patent office last I heard. Psilocybin+ lions mane as a ptsd treatment.

I love the idea that you give an octopus a placebo so that it won't know whether it actually got the MDMA.
Otherwise, it might just trick itself into thinking it's high when it's really not.
I think the placebo is for the humans? So the humans dont think they see a certain behavior because they expect it?
Then again they didnt mention having two sets of researchers so that they dont know which is which until after.
This is interesting because lsd was originally in the twelve step process of stopping alcohol addiction.

But like they say EVERYTHING in moderation!!!😁✌
Altoid 84 That's not how every addict starts.
That's how a lot start to justify it, but by the time you're needing to justify it you're already beyond a small dose.
A small dose wouldn't harm you physically, socially, nor financially, and if it doesnt bring negative consequences then it's not an addiction.
Addiction through the "just a little bit" pathway comes because people take "just enough to feel it."
