(Posted it in my journal, thought I’d repost here on the main board too.)
As TAF has been out of the store for a while now, I went searching for alternatives that would have a similar affect on concentration. I picked up on 1Alpha’s post, Mones that will clear up brain fog, which made this search far easier.
I loved TAF because of it’s ability to almost instantaneously ‘wake’ me up and make me concentrate.* I would compare it to a skating term we call being ‘Juiced’ - being in the zone, hyped, somewhat elated but with a clear ability to focus on the task at hand.* I found myself using TAF to skate because it mimicked that state to a fair degree.* I’ve lost my to go bottle of TAF that electracomplex gave me ages ago. Damn.* So that’s the reason to search for new alternatives.
P90 if I recall right is a concentrating mone, but it’s more about empathy. Someone mentioned in jest that in high doses, it’s telepathic because he thought he had to scratch his head like crazy and someone a few feet away actually did. lol.* Electra has some I think I’ll fool around with because I’m a bit lacking in that area.* P79 intensifies the other mones, but it focuses concentration on 3D movements, the way a body moves in that space and has a warm feeling to it if I remember right.* IS to concentrate?* New one to me and I’ll have to test that too.* p93 I don’t think is in stock.
Which leaves P114. Someone said if TAF was like looking at the world through your eyes, P114 was like looking at it through a pinhole. It also had caused visual sharpness in some testers, which intrigues me about it’s applications in photography and skating. Trust me, with the latter, knowing you’re dead on is the difference between landing your trick and going home broken.
I ordered a 10mcg 30ml bottle to test it out. Figured I would try it out yesterday since I had the day off. 1 spray to my neck/throat around 4 pm. I had an errand to run, so I hopped in my car. I’m about a mile or two from the freeway. After the first block I already knew it was going to be an interesting ride. I had to concentrate on not being so single focused. I would look at the sky and get distracted. A stop light. Another car. Anything. And be entranced til I remembered to wake up. lol. Hopping on the freeway intense. Going 75 with the railing to your left and thinking wow..it’s zooming by so fast…concentrate..don’t wanna die…lol. With all the windows opened it helped air out the car.
Got to my destination, an armenian supermarket named Jons. I spent an hour and some there. Putted around and kept looking at everything. It was as if I kept going over the same places of the store looking for new things. I’d eye new items, look at something else and get distracted. I did find Potato based Vodka finally! I could not for the life of me stay still. I paid and went home.
Arrived around 6 PM. The effects seem to have worn off, so I spray myself again. Funny, this time it doesn’t seem to have any effect. At least I thought so. I ate some baklava and decided to smoke some hookah. The damnedest thing happened. No matter how much I smoked, I wasn’t getting light headed as I usually do. Smoked a few more times that night. Same thing happened. I was surprisingly alert. I was reading up on the board and watching terminator. My attention wasn’t split very fair, but it wasn’t as bad as driving.
9 PM rolls around and I think what the hell, let’s go for one more before bedtime (which isn’t until 2-3 AM anyway). I feel alert. Not tired whatsoever. More hookah. I’ll usually lay down after a bowl to myself. Still researching until AD went down. Watched the webcast on tab around 11. About 12-2AM concentration was waning. I stopped paying attention to Netflix. Messed around online. Still very awake. Laid down to watch show and literally passed out while lucid. In a blink.
Woke up earlier than usual at 8 AM. Went to bed. Woke up 8:51 and felt like I got a ton of sleep. Feeling well rested and actually got up, showered, got dressed earlier than I would have normally. By 9:20 I had done everything and even ate. I don’t get up until 9:20 usually and I’m groggy. 9:40. Made tea and wrote half this report before going to work.
The visual focusing is strange, and I did notice I could read my computer screen better. I usually need to wear my light prescription reading glasses, which I don’t anyway. Didn’t eat very much. It seemed to suppress appetite. That or you’re so focused on whatever you’re doing, that eating isn’t important. Or the tobacco was acting as a suppressant. As far as I could tell, there were no effects on anyone else. Will be testing this further.
