Experience
Primary effects
- Familiar psychedelic headspace emerges, leading to strong standard visuals like breathing walls and vivid colors, making art and artifacts highly engaging.
Peak character
- Intense psychedelic headspace with potential for anxiety, paranoia (e.g., portraits appearing threatening), and feeling overwhelmed in public.
- Claustrophobic sensations can arise in crowded, busy environments. Intense closed-eye visuals of colorful, intertwining patterns may be experienced.
Negatives / side effects
- Possibility of feeling unsettled, anxious, and paranoid, especially in public or unfamiliar settings.
- Physical discomforts such as needing to use the toilet urgently and stomach churning with slight nausea can occur. Overwhelming sensations in crowded, noisy, or hot environments.
- Taking a high dose, particularly in an unsuitable setting, can lead to a difficult and disturbing experience, despite knowing it's temporary.
Aftereffects / comedown
- Headspace gradually diminishes, leading to a recovery of composure and an afterglow that may linger for several hours.
