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.
For the first three hours the material barely registered, hovering at a mere threshold. After the subject slowly consumed a strong vodka drink starting at hour three, a definite state emerged, building to a full plus-three about three hours after that. The effect persisted late into the night and was judged to be far beyond what the alcohol alone could explain.
