Hey.
Some psychological and other effects of this combination were a strong sense of happiness (wouldn't exactly say euphoria-- not sure why, just didn't "feel" like "euphoria" usually does);
high prosociability w/ lots of talking, smiling, and moderate laughing-- almost pressured speech at times-- with a strong desire to talk to people... so strong in fact that i actually i had to restrain myself to some extent;
physical restlessness;
muscle tension (e.g., tight clenching of certain muscles especially my fists, arms, and jaw);
excessive sweating and feelings of warmth;
having lots of physical energy and maybe strength;
and, occasional periods of obnoxiousness and giddiness (not in the sense of automatic laughter-- as cannabis often gives or as does experiencing something truly hilarious-- but not exactly forced laughter either).
i also had feelings of mostly physical anxiety, but the psychological lessening of inhibitions overpowered these feelings.
i remember thinking how 'i wish i could always feel like this,' but i'm not really sure if it would be the best state for certain situations (e.g., giving a speech (?), a close & serious one-on-one conversation, etc.). i do think there are certain situations where this sort of state would probably be detrimental though. And i strongly question whether or not this sort of practice is good for oneself.
