SWIM participated in the bioassay with his GF. The testing was done on the last day of a festival - which compromises the results a bit.... The last two days the test-couple had taken "normal party-doses" of LSD and MDMA.
SWIM takes 7 mg, GF takes 5 mg, oral, in solution, about 16:30. After 1½ hour they deicide that there definately is
something. And SWIM has been careful to be sure about such statements, since a certain spectacularily inactive DOB-adventure
.
Virtually no stimulation is noticed, unlike expected. The feeling is actually very relaxing. SWIM takes 3 more mg after the 3-hour point. By here it is definately also visually active, but not in any overwhelming sense at all. SWIM is also much more used to trip after sunset, so maybe that is the main reason that the visual effects are noticed much more 6 hours after ingestion of the first 7 mg, when the sun sets.
SWIM is much more compelled to relaxed talking to friends than to go partying. There is a very distinct empatogenic feeling, but that might be partly because of the past couple of days of drug-use. The female test-subject seems to be at a very nice place as well, mostly walking around the festival and observing. The female is behaving close to sober, while SWIM seems to be a bit spaced out, but very much more relaxed than the average person under psychedelic influence.
And aye, psychedelic it was. The full moon maintained the shape of a perfect, 64-sided polygon all the night. The stars all looked like little perfect 5-stars. The CEV's were very much impressive, with fractals flowing in a hypnotic, ever expanding way. Nitrous gave a HUGE kick, much like on medium-high doses of LSD.
At about 3 a.m. (T+10:30) the trip has definately been falling in intensity for a while. Being a bit worn out from the last couple of days, the test-subjects deicide to get some sleep. Sleeping is not too hard, even though the visuals are flowing impressively as SWIM falls asleep.
Sorry about the VERY flawed science in this experiment
... But it seemed like the occation to try this one out. And they definately found it worth-while. More experiments will be done soon, in a more controlled way. I really can't think this could possibly be placebo, but who knows...... That stupid bastard WIM didn't really have the best brain-chemistry at the time of trial to evaluate with 100% certainity.
