How marijuana impacts the mind with Aerez Batat. Aerez is an author, a metaphysicist and the founder of Consciousness Research Institute in Spokane, WA. For the past six years, he conducted unique research to figure out how marijuana impacts the mind. Aerez interviewed hundreds of people who were altered by THC and asked them: What happened to their perception of time? What happened to the acuteness of our senses? What happened in their mind’s eye? What happens to our memory? Et cetera. The idea was to detect a pattern in the mental changes and use it to deduce how the mind works. Aerez published his findings in a book called “It’s About Time,” in which he showed time to be the hidden spectrum of the mind. THC changes the electromagnetic polarity of the mind by changing our perception of time as a function of the speed of thought. As a result, they experience all other symptoms of high, including a change in there emotional polarity, and even a change in the way they speak.
