Medical Video: Can Weed Cause Hallucinations?
Believe it or not, a person's fertility is not only influenced by the body. Factors of diet, daily habits, and the surrounding environment, contribute as a determinant of your fertility. Well, one that might often be questioned is the consumption of drugs - including the effects of psychedelic drugs on your chances of having children. What's the effect on someone's fertility?
What are psychedelic drugs?
Psychedelic drugs or psychedelics are one of several types of hallucinogenic drugs. Or in other words, psychedelic medicine is a powerful psychoactive chemical that can provide hallucinatory effects, change moods, and affect one's thinking processes in a short time.
LSD (lysergic acid), DMT (dimethyltrypyamine),magic mushrooms, and ayahuasca are various types of drugs that belong to the psychedelic group. Most psychedelic users use this drug because it can cause certain sensations depending on the user's condition. For example as an enhancer of energy, tranquility, even pleasure.
This psychoactive substance works by changing the communication process in brain cells and spinal cord. Automatically, chemical compounds, such as serotonin and glutamate, which should carry signals to the brain become disrupted.
Normally, serotonin plays a role in determining mood, nerve function, drowsiness, hunger, changes in body temperature, and muscle control. While glutamate plays a role in regulating pain, emotional ups and downs, responsive responses, and memory functions.
What are the side effects of psychedelics?
Whatever type of psychedelic drug is used, everything will have the effect of hallucinations in an instant. The more number of drugs used, the stronger and long lasting the drug reacts in your body.
Without taking a long time, psychedelic drug users will experience emotional changes on a large scale, often accompanied by behavioral disorders that can usually endanger themselves. Psychedelics can distort perceptions and your thinking patterns are 180 degrees different from reality.
What you think might not be the same as reality that actually happens, when the body and brain are under the influence of psychedelic drugs. Easily, this condition is the same as someone who is under the control of alcohol.
No matter how high a meter is, walking leisurely in crowded traffic, even driving a car in a drunken state, you can suddenly do things that are actually outside logic and self-control. Whether it's jumping as if having wings, or sleeping in the middle of the road without guilt.
Because your mind is frazzled by the effects of strong hallucinations that usually can last for 6-12 hours, depending on what type of psychedelic drugs are used.
Could psychedelics affect fertility?
From the medical side, the use of psychedelic drugs certainly has a special impact on long-term health. Among them are a decrease in memory function, kidney damage, chest tightness, pupillary dilatation, shrinking body weight, increased heart rate and blood pressure, and prolonged depression.
But that might be rarely understood, that it turns out that psychedelic drugs are more or less a determinant of your fertility level. Although until now there has not been found strong evidence that explains how this drug affects the health of male and female reproductive organs.
