Does anyone ever get this while on shrooms? I always get it, and it used to freak me out, but I just read that it's normal....

i don't know what it is....
but on this old 80's movie, "the abyss", some guy dives really deep into the ocean and he's inside an enclosed suit that is full of some kind of oxygenated water or something...and he breathes water...

I like that movie. I think they actually did tests using a liquid like that in some lab somewhere. They stopped their tests because while the subject had the liquid in their lungs everthing was fine, but after the liquid was removed they contracted serious and fatal pneumonia. I think that this prevented the testing from ever evolving past lab animals.
I had a professor once that used to say that anyone could breath underwater if they put their mind to it. He said that the human body is capable of using the water as an oxygen source, its just that it was too stubborn to do it and you mentally killed yourself by thinking you were gonna drown. If you would just let go and beleive that you could breath then you would survive underwater. It all sounds nice, but I don't know how much truth there is to this one. I know I'm not going to try it anytime soon.

once... after eating about 7 grams of some potent gulf coast freshies. i choked on air.. because i sudenly saw it as water...
i mean fish swim in water.. and its all good, because thats what there born in. but to them its like our air.
were born into air, and its all good becuase thats what we were born in. the problem with being born into it. is that we dont see its full potential as being more than just "air"
anyways.. the air sudenly seemed thick and robustly strong and i started choking cause it felt like i was breathing in something diferent than i normaly do. it had a "liquid" feeling too it.
maybe your talking about something familiar to this?

It's difficult to explain, it's like it doesn't feel like air anymore, but more like smooth liquid, it's not bad, just a little bit wierd and sometimes uncomfortable. I get it everytime, even when I only eat a gram....... WIERD.

If there are chemistry/medical nerds like me reading this. The Abyss-stuff really exists & is basically a fluorocarbon mix that'll loosely hold oxygen. For named reasons it wasn't a success. In hospitals it's sometimes used as a blood substitute called "Fluosol" or something like that. Nasty stuff...
I've had "liquid breathing" too, especially on High Doses. In me it's often a prelude to stuff that seems really Deep...
It can be VERY scary, but remember it's all in the mind...

Ive had the same effect but it was from alcohol, it would feel like the air was as think as oil and there would be a delay between the time i breathed in and i actually felt the air inside my body.

Infants fresh out of the womb can swim under water with their mouths open because they have previously been living in a liquid environment inside the mother

what if they placed infants in water right after birth? Will they be able to breath underwater for life? That would own.

Thats what i meant, straight after birth.
Check out the "nevermind" album cover maybe that kid is living at the bottom of the ocean now-raised by squid or something.

that is because oxygen is diffusing through the placenta into the ambilical cord. I do not think a newly born baby that had its ambilical cord cut and was placed in water could breath.

i thought the main reason for the docter making the baby cry as soon as it came out was to get it to take its first breath through its mouth?

no they only have to do that to babies if they have flem lodged intheir throat when then are born. There is also a mucus lining their nostrils that must be sucked out to allow them to breath threw thier nose. But as soon as that ambilical cord is severed that kid is on his own.
I suppose one could place a baby underwater while it still had its ambilical cord attached to its mother, and the baby would be able to survive, but I do not know if I would concider that breathing underwater. Besides I don't think you could do it anyways.

Well, there is such thing as liquid oxygen, but it's too cold, your lungs will freeze, they might come up with something in the future though.

liquid oxygen and oxygenated liquid are 2 totally different things...
there is this guy somewhere that pours liquid oxygen on barbecue stoves....it looks pretty cool, but he has to do it with 10 foot pole
