Self Experiment: Mood/Behavorial Change "THC" #02

Start Date: 10-31-13
Start Time: 2:15pm

Dosage: 1 bowl, strain type "Larry OG (Indica)". Assumed potency of 16% THC, amount of THC should be better absorbed through pipe.

Hypothesis: What would mood behavior characteristics would result compared to abduction or ghostly experience?
Using a a known substance to induce anxiety, paranoia, mood alterations, etc., could I reproduce these experiences?
According to the expert who administered the dosage, onset should be within 5 min after completion of a 1/4 dosage. Symptoms may last for a few hours/minutes that may/will include giggling, hunger, thirst, sexual arousal, paranoia, anxiety, or drowsiness. Behavior and Mood Alteration is a key aspect to look for.

Timeline:

10-31-13, 2:15pm: Experiment Started.

10-31-13. 2:15pm: Administer felt full normal affects with standard 5 minute window. Subject had no physical or mood/behavioral effects. 1 bowl was smoked and no changed occurred in subject.
"Larry OG (Indica)" had a very pungent aroma, its flavor was acrid and peppery and most unpleasant. Smoke via the pipe burned the back of the throat more.

10-31-13, 2:25pm: Full Dosage completed and shared with Administer. No Behavior or mood changes on my part noted.

10-31-13, 2:50pm: 3/4 bowl and shared with Administer. Administer felt full affects. In order to make sure that a full shot was taken, subject purposely inhaled and swallowed smoke causing to choke on purpose.

10-31-13, 2:55pm: 3/4 Dosage completed. Administer felt full affects. Subject began experiencing dry mouth, but seems to by salivating more than usual, possible due to choking and swallowing smoke.

10-31-13, 4:00pm: Subject walked to market with administrater

10-31-13, 4:30pm: Subject began dinner. No change in appetite.

10-31-13, 5:00pm: Dinner served.

10-29-13, 5:30pm: Experiment window closed.

10-29-13, 7:00pm: Administer had another dosage with second hand smoke in front of subject. Subject felt uncomfortable, but this may be due to the choking from fully inhaled smoke.

Results: Results are inconclusive. Subject inhaled and absorb smoke properly as done by administer. Physical and associated mood/behavioral affects associated with higher than normal dosage not present in subject. Ingested smoke had no delayed effects, as more frequent than saliva production and pain may be do to full inhalation "swallowing/choking" of smoke. Choking was done on purpose to ensure that a dosage was taken in, and that maximum allowed THC should have been absorbed throughout the body.

Beyond experiment window, around 1am patient felt a bit ill and had hot flashes. This was attributed to the choking and discomfort in the subject's throat. Subject did not show any typical physical signs and dry mouth is more attributed to choking, as it persisted and night and next day. Subject slept as normal "insomniac" with frequent period of sleep followed by being awake.

It is more than likely possible that the subject may most likely be resistant to certain strains, and in order for effective results may need a specific method of ingestion/inhalation and/or strain.

Noted that subject prefers the cigarette versus the pipe. The particular strain used was too pungent and peppery for their personal preference.

At this point since here was a probability of THC absorption it is safe to state that their was no audio, visual, or tactile alterations to perceptions. Although highly unlikely, Aunt may be  a recipient of second hand smoke, and at 2:00am she reported seeing something and exit here room. Note at the same time "Promised One" did cry out "Noooo" around this time as well.

It is recommend at that time, since result are inconclusive that testing should cease and allow the subject to natural cleanse within the 30-60 day window.

Update: A day later subject has experienced an inflamed uvula due to trauma of coughing. This is a common symptom/result of excessive coughing. Subject is feeling mild discomfort but has indicated that this has occurred before during a run of bronchitis and is not worried. Therefore no THC was absorbed in this experiment either, has indicated that mucus taste of the "Larry OG (Indica)". Wonder if subject's natural immune system might be extra efficient at catching smoke?
