Mellow control trial, uneventful

2. T+00:45:00 [intensity]

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.

3. T+02:00:00 [intensity]

intensity 

+ PLUS ONE — Clearly noticeable. You can tell when it began and how it's changing, though its full character isn't apparent yet.

4. T+05:00:00 [intensity]

intensity 

− MINUS — No noticeable effect.

5. T+00:00:00 [note]

The only physical quirk was a near-total absence of urination; baseline returned by the fifth hour and the following week was entirely normal.
