LSA is a naturally occurring psychedelic found in many plants such as morning glory and Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds. It is surprisingly similar to LSD, but most users say that it has a much "cleaner" trip. Due to the availability of many different plants and seeds that contain it(such as Hawaiian Baby Woodrose, Ololiuqui, and several different strains of Morning Glories, it surprises me how few people know about it. With a good trip from Hawaiian Baby Woodrose (hbwr from now on) costing only about $1.50 US, and a trip lasting about 10 hours, give or take. The dosage for hbwr seeds is between 6 and 10 seeds, but to start you may only want to eat 4 at first. For Ololiuqui it is about 25 seeds or the amount it takes to fill the cap of a water bottle. Morning Glories require a much larger amount, usually 300 at least, and the number varies greatly from strain to strain, with Heavenly Blue generally being the most potent, followed by Flying Saucers and Pearly Gates. One of the best ways to prepare LSA is to make a "Psychedelic Lemonade" as many call it, to do that take which ever seeds you wish to work with and crush them up into a fine powder. From there, put that powder into a water bottle with distilled water (not tap water because the chlorine will destroy the fragile compounds) and squeeze the juice out of a lemon and put that in the bottle too. Store this in a cold, dark place (such as a refrigerator) from anywhere from an hour to a week, shaking it up at will. Then just filter out the seed matter and drink it. If one chooses to use Hawaiian Baby Woodrose it is highly recommended that you scrape off the furry fungus like outer covering of the seeds to minimize the amount of nauseating compounds.

This will also racemate it, but so what, according to this chart the iso form is more predominant anyway, racemization should thus produce more of the biol. active form. Also, isolation of the iso form (chromatography) followed by racemization will give still more active stuff, but probably not worth the trouble. NOTE: hydrolysis should only be done if the goal is to make LSD, Lysergic acid by itself has little/no psychedelic properties (?). At 0.136% dry weight ergine, then to get a good hit ( assuming ergine is 1/10 potency of LSD) we need 100ug x 10 = 1mg ergine. Thus we need 1/1.36 g of seeds for one good hit (assuming the other alkaloids don't make you fucking sick) or 0.74 grams of HBWR seeds.Note: the fuzzy coating on the outside contains cyanogenic glycosides which can make you really sick if you eat enough (same kind of stuff in apple seeds).
