Morning Glory vine seeds

Ipomoea Violacea Linnaeus

Preparation and Dosage

On an empty stomach (try not to eat 4-6 hours before you eat the seeds) onset of effects is about an hour after ingestion. The experience itself lasts 6 to 10 hours. Nausea is quite common, especially during the first stages of the experience.
There are two ways to reduce nausea. One may grind and soak the seeds in water for half an hour and then drink the liquid, discarding the seeds. Another way is to let the seeds sprout by keeping them moist for 3 or 4 days (change the water often), after which the white part is removed from the shell and eaten.
One may also try to eat the seeds without letting them germinate first, but this isn't a very pleasant way to ingest the active components.
Light effects are obtained by ingesting 50 to a 100 seeds (or 1.5 to 3 grams), while cating 250 to 400 seeds (6 to 10 grams) gives a very strong trip.

Effects

The seeds contain a naturally occurring tryptamine called Lysergic Acid Amide (LSA) which is closely related to LSD. Psychedelic effects and hallucinations are expected to occur.

History

The psychoactive use of this plant in divinations and healing rituals has been documented since the late colonial period. This vine was first botanically described by Linneaus. Since this time, it has been repeatedly described anew under other names. At the same time this beautiful plant has been changed through cultivation and breeding to such an extent that many of the new sorts must sometimes appear to be new, previously undescribed species. Closet shamans, gardeners and breeders often confuse this plant with ololiuqui (Turbina corymbosa).

Cultivation

Place 4 or 5 seeds in water and let them soak for a day and place them in a flowerpot during March or April, preferably in a sunny spot. If the the seeds are kept at a temperature between 18 and 20ºC. germination will take place in ten to twenty days. The plant can be placed in the open or transplanted after mid-May. Morning Glory plants tend to stretch out in all directions, so it is important that this is a spot where the plants can cause no harm to other plants and can climb freely, for example near a fence. Water the plants regularly, especially in the summer.

The Morning Glories have large heart-shaped leaves and will grow amazingly beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers. Flowers can adopt several colors, from white to red and from purple to blue. They are fast growers and within a six weeks the first flowers will appear. When the flowers whither and fall off, round seed capsules are formed. Don't harvest these pods too early, or the seeds will be white rather than dark brown or black.

Warning

Can cause hallucinations. Be prepared and do not exceed the recommended dose. Only use recreationally and in a safe environment.
Do not use in combination with other stimulants, psychedelics or sedatives.
Do not use during pregnancy/lactation.
Do not use during work or while driving, operating or handling vehicles, machines or computers.
