intensity
± PLUS/MINUS — Threshold — something may be present, but it's right at the edge of perception. A stronger experience would confirm it; otherwise it may be nothing.
intensity
++ PLUS TWO — Both the timing and the character are unmistakable, but you can still choose to let it stay in the background and carry on with ordinary activities.
intensity
+ PLUS ONE — Clearly noticeable. You can tell when it began and how it's changing, though its full character isn't apparent yet.
A rush began at twenty minutes and built quickly into a state closely resembling MDMA but more intoxicating: strong euphoria the writer describes as a state of grace, softened skin, lively conversation, and deep closeness with others. A clear decline set in before ninety minutes; a booster just under two hours in was pleasant but never restored the original height, tending toward quietness rather than talkativeness. The verdict was an excellent MDMA alternative, with plans to dose lower and supplement earlier next time.
