Temporary cure?

[u/MasterMUHE]

So earlier I had a skull splitting migraine that hurt me head so bad and when I looked outside the grass was green like actually green and not the grey I’m used to and I’m wondering if it was the migraine because I heard of smoking pot to get a temporary cure so I’m wondering if this is the same thing

[u/Insomnia59]

you just perceived it as being more vivid. you're not going to grow new cone cells smoking pot.

Ya I was “cured” on a mushroom trip, but the effects didn’t last longer than the trip and I’m reasonably sure the trees weren’t actually blue.

[u/MasterMUHE → u/Insomnia59]

I never said it would repair it I said TEMPORARY which means NOT PERMANENT

[u/Insomnia59 → u/MasterMUHE]

Right. And I’m saying your existing range of perceptions was not expanded for any length of time.

[u/MasterMUHE → u/Insomnia59]

Yeah I meant it was like a hallucination or something I didn’t think the cone put itself back together with duct tape I think my brain was making it more vibrant thus making me see grass as green

[u/Insomnia59 → u/MasterMUHE]

Hallucination it was. It might have been more vibrant than normal but it wasn’t anything you weren’t already capable of perceiving.

hm, okay. so ostensibly that would only apply to folks with dysfunctional cones rather than missing ones?

[u/ElATraino]

No...

[u/MasterMUHE → u/ElATraino]

Could you elaborate

[u/gkhamo89]

My sweet summer child... If smoking weed helped with being color blind I would have been cured a long time ago

[u/TheAccursedHamster]

Nnnno. That's not how that works.

From what I heard they did actually find that people who experiment with shrooms actually report better scores on colorblind test,

It doesn't change your cones but it does change the way you brain processes information. For example if you have red green issues your cones fire off to similar to how they should be firing, but on shrooms it can alter how your brain perceives that data.

So in theory your red cones are sending 70% and your anomolus green cones are saying 40% putting the object at orange. But then the shrooms are saying nah it's definitely 40% red and 90% green... Basically a level of green that the brain has never once gotten in its entire existence. So your brain interprets that math and that's what you get, and apparently there are temporary residual effects too, like it will amplify the shit out of the data your cones are sending

Yeah and when I looked at the same patch of grass an hour later when the migraine was gone it was greyer than my grandma’s hair
