Apparent Time dilation on LSD

Couple of months ago, I was tripping on some acid. I think 200Ug. During my trip, I kept looking at my watch like every 15 minutes. Each of those intervals felt as though they were at least an hour long.
The only conclusion I can come up with is that during the trip, our brains become overclocked and our neurons are firing at a much higher frequency than usual. Due to this increase, our brain perceives time to be moving faster than it really is. Because this amount of signals generated will only be achieved in a longer period of time, but the brain of lsd increases it.
What is your reasoning?
Ps I'm really stoned right now, so if I didn't make any sense.. I'm so sorry

You could say time slows down, but the only thing that is really changing is your perception of time passing, I've had "time" stand still, but really time as we know it is a human construct, the real definition of time is an infinite ever expanding moment - to travel in time is to travel in space.
My guess is you were more accompanied in the moment of the experience, and when you are truly living in the "moment" consciously time can be nothing but a mere illusion.
The reason why it feels as if time is slowed down is because your mind has slowed down in frequency and is more presently aware of the moment(you're taking in less information actually) if you are truly in the moment there is no questions, as everything is already known, there is no time -as it stands still, and there is nothing but the presence of love this state is otherwise known as Nirvana or Ego death

At 200 mics, I barely have any short term memory left.
This makes time feel "eternal".

My first trip on a single purple microdot in 1969 had me watching the second hand move backwards on an old analog alarm clock.
My theory is that the psychedelic mindframe accommodates more sustained moments than ordinary mental states.
Normally we may compose one to 3 frames of our world - one or more arising or established, and one fading away, the two or 3 frames help us to keep up a sense of time passing or sequence in what we experience and remember.
when really stoned, the number of frames fading away becomes much greater since they fade away more slowly. You could say that the moments stack up and each are as real and as alive as any other. (this also accounts for polyopia, and enhanced color and other sensory enhancement, or doubling and tripling.)
Because of frame stacking of moments there is little distinction between what is current and what is more or less past. and because of that one can easily slip back and forth in the stream of buffered moments - this also explains deja vu, as well as the sense of time dilation.
It can also support the sense of living in pages of a book or calving off of bits of attitude from the main self to generate apparent autonomous entities.

You seem so well put together verbally redgreenvines, and I love your talk of "time". I remember you responded with paragraphs of how time is perceived on salvia once. It really stuck out to me, and I still remember it. It's pure knowledge! For some reason I still feel like there is something else to understand about time, that even you can't grasp right now. I don't even know what else could be understood about time, I just feel this way.

I also enjoyed the way you described that. I feel it. Cool stuff

I also really enjoyed Redgreenvines' s response as well!
I have experienced time dilation before as well, on magic mushrooms and LSD.
But oddly enough it was early experiences with Cannabis that Ive experienced the strongest sense of time moving backwards, forwards, framing off etc
I tried to explain it off as panic attack, a seizure, maybe a little stroke . I actually get a lot of anxiety when smoking grass as a result

I had the same analogy run through my head as visions my first time smoked cannabis, my reality was being shown and played frame by frame as a deck of cards, the cards would stop shuffling on a certain card and I would physically reappear somewhere later in time or later in the deck of cards and not know how I got there as the deck would skip and pause when it should be a consistent shuffle of real time. Probably doesn't make any sense
