I don't think that they improve your intelligence at all.

It's too bad that you cannot edit polls because my answer would be 'no, unless you are addicted'. When I have used opiates I always felt remarkably slower and foggy mentally, so I am very interested to hear what everyone has to say about my above questions. That being said, we obviously don't know everything about their function yet, and I personally don't partake that often. That people are attributing to increased intelligence?Д®ven though opiate receptors are widely distributed within the brain (even the hippocampus, where a large part of memory comes from), they have only ever been shown to have anti-anxiety, anti-depressive, analgesic, and some neuroprotective effects (mainly protects against decreased oxygen in the brain). Could it be that the well-known anti-anxiety, anti-depressive, and analgesic effects are really what is producing this experience of a 'clear mind'. Could it be that what you are describing is not in fact increased intelligence? It could be reduced social anxiety, less critical thinking leading to quicker (not better) answers, or even just that you might not care as much about the actual answer/problem so you might not worry if there is a 'better answer'.ДЈ. When someone says '_ increases my intelligence' I assume intelligence means capacity to learn, improved memory, being able to decipher complex problems quicker, etc. A lot of people are describing things like 'thinking clearer', 'being able to express ideas easier', etc. So that when you take them it removes these things that could be negatively affecting you brain power?Дў. If you use opiates constantly might it be that without them you feel agitated, anxious, and overall just bad. So that is the reason for my option choice, opiates may help some with mental abilities, but in the long-term, those so-called, perceived sharpened mental abilities won't matter at allД®dit: I would also like to point out that, while opiates can make one think more clearly, it is very easy to not think on opiates, as that is what many take them for, and to just ignore realityДЄ couple points I would like to throw in here for people to think about or discuss.ДЎ. While taking opiates for a better life may seem like a good idea, i know, as should everyone else from others experiences, that is is, in fact, a bad idea due to addiction and other social side effects (which are never good, i don't care what anyone says). When first taking them, yes, i completely believed they made me smarter, but i know that any drug is not the key to intelligence, or the key to anything, but they certainly can be useful tools. Since opioids have became my favourite type of drug in recent times, I've come quite familiar with what they to me individually. Re: Do Opiates Increase Intelegence? (Poll)
