==Subjective effects==

The effects listed below are based upon the [[subjective effects index]] and personal experiences of [[PsychonautWiki]] [[PsychonautWiki#Contributors|contributors]]. The listed effects will rarely if ever occur all at once but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.
