Substance was the same stuff as my first entry - damiana leaf, 40 mg/g ratio of JWH-081 to leaf, and about 0.15 g worth in the bowl. I did not smoke the whole bowl at once.
Executive summary:
2nd time was 5/15. I was home finishing laundry around 9 or 10 PM. I did one single hit first to see how things would go, and resumed ironing and watching Twilight Zone. I felt little effect initially, so after about 30-40 minutes I did another hit. I can't remember if I did a 3rd hit or not.
I remember the standard mellowness. I seemed to care little about time passing and was not as easily distracted, compared to a normal state where I'd probably be more worrisome.
Twilight Zone was more immersive than normal. As soon as I went upstairs, I started writing out things in detail at my desk because I thought I could see very clearly what their formula was.
I wrote out a lot of other weird stuff (probably too verbose to put here). For the most part it made sense, but my choice of analogies was often strange. I seemed to be very quick to make connections effortlessly between things. One thing that stuck out that I wrote was that my brain was now doing a depth-first search constantly, while in a normal state it was doing a breadth-first search.
Some of the visions I had were also very interesting. I would think of people and I would see strange, stylized versions of them (I wrote these as well).
I got online and was talking to a few people. I was talking to a friend and he asked a maths question about polynomials. He was not understanding completely how it was possible that long division of polynomials could produce a remainder. I pointed out to him that he was familiar with remainders from dividing numbers with long division, and then I said that numbers really were nothing more than a very constrained form of polynomial, like ax^n + bx^(n-1) + cx^(n-2) etc. where x=10 (for his familiarity at least), a, b, c, etc. were integers from 0 to 9, and exponents were always positive integers. And since the remainders did not emerge as a consequence of those constraints, they could clearly be seen to generalize to polynomials in general.
This reasoning looks right to me, but I really don't know where it came from.
I had a major case of the munchies as well. I tried to fight it, but ended up heading downstairs to grab a weird assortment of foods. I remember the (cheap) sharp cheddar I had not tasting particularly good, but the slice of reggiano cheese that I ate had an incredibly complex flavor to it and it was amazing.
However, I noticed the feeling of stream-of-consciousness "fracturing" a bit. Really, this aspect felt very much like weed. I only noticed it when I'd go walk around or something. If I sat at my desk and focused, or I just stayed in bed, I could not notice it, but as soon as I would get up and move around and try to do something besides write or think, it was like my awareness of what I was doing was very "laggy" - as soon as it was a few seconds in the past, it felt like it was sort of shuffled around with all other memories and didn't necessarily come through in the right order.
The visualizations were still there, but I had the sensation (and wrote this) that it was nothing more than a filter turned to a particular sensation and that I could do a lot of other things with it. Here's my account of one visualization: "Like a pit full of geese. They were completely black on a black background - except that they had orange and blue triangles, perfectly sharp and solidly filled. These triangles were all that was visible on them and it was sparse, yet enough to see that they were all craning necks up to eat or bite at something, competing with each other."
I went to bed around 1 and slept very peacefully.
3rd time was 5/16. I did two hits around 11 or 11:15, and maybe another partial one, but the bowl (same one as from last night) was pretty much cashed at that point.
I don't remember a whole lot here (I wrote it too far afterward). It felt pretty similar. I took it close enough to bedtime that I didn't do a whole lot except head to bed, where I felt a little uncomfortable because I couldn't seem to quiet my mind down. However, I fell asleep pretty quickly still.
Strangely enough, when I was dosing off a bit but not yet asleep, the sudden change in lucidity made me wonder momentarily "Am I still stoned?"
Executive summary:
- None of the feeling of melting into the couch that I commonly get with weed.
- Same feeling of reality "splintering" that I get with weed, and same sensation that as soon as I paid attention to something, everything else no longer existed.
- Same general mellowness and lack-of-worry as weed.
- Thought processes were very active toward analysis and making connections.

As I stated in another thread about jwh-081, I found it be a very useful substitute although it is lacking in certain areas. Thanks for this entry.
