How to Rate the Intensity of a Trip
Level
1: 6g
fresh , 1g dried
This
level produces a mild "stoning" effect, with some
visual enhancement (i.e. brighter colours, etcetera). Some
short term memory anomalies. Left/right brain communication
changes causing music to sound "wider".
Level 2: 10g fresh, 2g dried
Bright
colours, and visuals (i.e. things start to move and breath),
some 2 dimensional patterns become apparent upon shutting
eyes. Confused or reminiscent thoughts. Change of short term
memory leads to continual distractive thought patterns. Vast
increase in creativity becomes apparent as the natural brain
filter is bypassed.
Level 3: 18g fresh, 3g dried
Very
obvious visuals, everything looking curved and/or warped
patterns and kaleidoscopes seen on walls, faces etc. Some mild
hallucinations such as rivers flowing in wood grained or
"mother of pearl" surfaces. Closed eye
hallucinations become 3 dimensional. There is some confusion
of the senses (i.e. seeing sounds as colours, etcetera). Time
distortions and "moments of eternity".
Level 4: 27g fresh, 5g dried
Strong
hallucinations, i.e. objects morphing into other objects.
Destruction or multiple splitting of the ego. (Things start
talking to you, or you find that you are feeling contradictory
things simultaneously). Some loss of reality. Time becomes
meaningless. Out of body experiences and e.s.p. type
phenomena. Blending of the senses.
Level 5: 35g fresh, 6g dried
Total
loss of visual connection with reality. The senses cease to
function in the normal way. Total loss of ego. Merging with
space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality
becomes so severe that it defies explanation. The earlier
levels are relatively easy to explain in terms of measurable
changes in perception and thought patterns. This level is
different in that the actual universe within which things are
normally perceived, ceases to exist! Satori enlightenment (and
other such labels).
