   ### - coming back to haymaker haze... this turns out to be an interesting   
   one in other ways?   
      
   you realise, of course, that all these weeds produce different 'moods'   
      
   that it's these moods that colour/flavour one's perception accordingly...   
      
   and this haymaker, besides beng quite strong, has a distinct effect in   
   terms of these moods   
      
   i.e., it' a very nice and pleasant mood that's actually very comfortable &   
   warm   
      
   dunno how else to describe it really other than it's a very welcome   
   sensation, calm but not in a sedated way... it's just a very nice place to   
   be!   
      
   you feel kind of solidly centered in yourself and it's a comfortable   
   feeling, one that inspires confidence in yourself to continue being &   
   feeling very level...   
      
   noticeably so! and that's what makes it quite distinct :)   
      
   and because i know i've experienced this same feeling before some time ago   
   although i can't remember when, obviously it's in me and i've been there   
   when some other criterion, some other experience elicited it because it's   
   a very familiar and welcome feeling, although again, i can't remember   
   under what circumstances i got there and only that this strain has brought   
   me back to it, it being a mood i'd quite like to remain in given the   
   choice, but how to get back here again sans the catalyst??   
      
   that is indeed the question, and the challenge...   
      
   knowing it exists being one thing, finding it again, non-accidentally,   
   being another!   
      
   for here is a very level mood of clarity worth cultivating, but having   
   arrived here by artificial means i've nada to refer to (in  terms of   
   experiences or activities) that would be repeatable so as to elicit it   
   again, hmmm... cc would have said one had to 'intend' it if  it's going to   
   be volitional, but then that's easier said than done when once out of it   
   you'll hardly be able to even remember it properly, let alone reproduce   
   it... the alternative being to keep some of this haymaker around only   
   that's not really very practical long term, hmmm...   
      
   anyway, just thought it worth mentioning... it being an interesting idea   
   that moods not only directly affect 'how' we perceive but also 'what' we   
   perceive, a potentially interesting & useful tool should one ever learn to   
   wield it correctly...   
      
   laters ;)
