My reaction times are still very good but my memory is just average. I’m not sure if it was just always average though!
There is a standard test used in psychology called a Stroop test. The name of a colour is written on screen in a certain colour. You have to try to ignore what the word says and just select the actual visual colour of the word.
Eg
If you see…
RED
you would answer blue because the writing is in blue. When you try to do it quickly it gets tough!
I can answer 20 of these in 33 seconds which seems pretty good (looking at other people’s scores) but then there’s another game where you have to remember the position of targets on screen. My gf is amazing at it but I struggle near the end of the game when there are more targets.
The tests are here…
Would be great to hear how other peops get on with the games.
ps SWIM’s results are after years of Cannabis, MDMA, Sceletium & Mescaline

after 4 attempts i got mine down to 38seconds with no time penalty.
but only 8511 something on the other one and couldnt play it again, too annoying for some reason :crazy_diz
2 goes, 40 seconds
38 secs is good. Nice one.
I get around the the 3000-4000 range on memShooter. The thing that worries me (only a little bit tho) is that my gf can get her score down to 1621. She is 34 and never taken a drug in her life. She doesn’t even drink. Obviously this proves nothing about the effects of drugs on cognitive ability but it does make me wonder.
Wonder how good u are at this game. It’s very visual. You have to work out what the missing chunk of the pic would look like.
I know there are lots of musicians on here. There is a memory game where you have to remember sounds. The top scorer is a friend of mine who studied music at uni. I have another friend who scored 21 and he smokes a LOT of cannabis. I had the cliched view that he’d be terrible but his memory seems better than average. I’m contacting a professor tomorrow about conducting some more formal surveys to see the effects of drugs on cognitive ability. In the meantime tho it would be great for more feedback on here. My gut feeling is that a lot of the bad effects from certain drugs are due to the lifestyle of the users (lack of sleep, poor eating etc.). I think that certain drugs (not all of course) used wisely are fine.
btw SWIM tried a lot of the games while on a light dose of mescaline (from peruvian torch cactus). SWIM’s scores were not impaired. Mescaline is so underrated in his opinion. In large doses it’s amazingly profound and to be respected but SWIM thinks that small doses are perfect for all sorts of occasions – parties, relaxing, being with pals, walking in nature.

I did an ounce of mescaline once, famous for it. I need to buy one of the cacti and grow it for 20 years, there’s a couple of types that spring to mind.

Don’t listen to him!!
:laugh_at:
I haven’t had the pleasure of trying mescaline yet, but that’s cos i changed my mind about eating dirty cactus. I want crystals.

have you ever seen the crystals in the UK though? never ever ever herd of them
If i’d seen them mate i’d have tried it lol
I’ve heard of people having them.

my mate had some, but its not cheap and you need to eat about half a gram, im pretty sure it’d be worth it but 70 or 80 quid for a trip is definatly a bit steep
fuckin hell, probably be better to just learn how to do the cactus extraction.
This price actually makes me wanna fork out for a gram of DPT now though!!
85 pound for a gram but supposed to be really damn good. oral dose of DPT is 200mg
