"Asymbescaline produces a baseline +++ on the Shulgin Rating Scale"

The Shulgin Rating Scale is applied to experiences with a drug at a drug at a given dosage, so it would be better to say something like "At a dosage of x mg, Shulgin reported a +++ on the Shulgin Rating Scale". A "baseline +++" sounds like a contradiction to me, since "baseline" is supposed to be where you start out before taking any drug. In the PiHKAL entry on this drug, Shulgin reports "There was a gentle down-drift to my starting baseline mental status by about midnight (I started at 9:00 AM). I never quite made it to a +++, and rather regretted it" (dosage 240 mg). He doesn't mention "+++" anywhere else in the entry, so really there is no +++ reported with this drug at any dosage in the entry, which is the only reference for this article.--Eloil 05:24, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
