Yes, it was probably mild. The kind I took is considered probably the weakest extract and the bowls weren't entirely full. I also probably could have held the smoke in longer. I'm glad I didn't, however. If my experience was mild, I do not want to experience a heavy dose. I was already entirely disconnected from reality with only that tiny bit.

I've always known that ordinary experience is mediated through a number of faculties (time, space, senses), but this experience has helped me to internalize more concretely what that means. That is, our perception of reality appears to depend largely on the chemicals in our brain. Whether Serotonin, DMT, or Salvinorin A, we don't see reality as it actually exists. We see reality as it appears to exists after our sensory organs and bio-chemicals filter perceptual input.

[QUOTE="Chuckleberryfinn, post: 30459, member: 594"] Yes, it was probably mild. The kind I took is considered probably the weakest extract and the bowls weren't entirely full. I also probably could have held the smoke in longer. I'm glad I didn't, however. If my experience was mild, I do not want to experience a heavy dose. I was already entirely disconnected from reality with only that tiny bit.
