DESCRIPTION

Family: ConvolvulaceaeGenus: IpomoeaSpecies: violacea

Ipomoea violacea is a common ornamental vine with heart-shaped leavesand bright white, pink, purple, or blue flowers and small black seeds thatcontain LSA. Because of its fast growth and prodigious seed production,many jurisdictions consider it an invasive weed plant. It has a longhistory of use in Central to Southern Mexico.

It is a perennial twining vine, growing from 10 to 20 feet high, withheart-shaped leaves to 5 inches long. The flowers are funnel-shaped,purplish blue with a white tube. Native to tropical America. Psychoactivevarieties are Heavenly Blue, Pearly Gates, Flying Saucers, Wedding Bells,Blue Star, and Summer Skies.

Cultivation and Propagation:Morning glories thrive in a strong, well-drained soil in a sunny site withplenty of water, but they will do well almost anywhere. The seeds have ahard seed coat and should be nicked or soaked two hours in warm waterbefore sowing. If the seeds are nicked and soaked, the vines will generallyflower 6 weeks after sowing. With a knife, small file, or hacksaw blade,scrape away a small portion of the seedcoat on the side opposite thehilum or germ eye (the small dent where the seed sprouts). The holeshould not be big, just large enough for water to enter during soaking.

The seeds should be planted 0.25 to 0.5 inch deep and not less than 6inches apart. Do not cover with soil. This species tends to run to vineunless the roots are cramped. This may be done by standing the vines inpots and allowing them to become slightly potbound before setting themout. Although morning glories like a lot of water, if the roots are keptdamp constantly, the vines will produce few flowers and they will set

very little seed. Various methods have been devised to increase thealkaloid content of the seeds by altering the soil chemistry and usinghormones. An interesting account of these methods is found in the bookHome Grown Highs by Mary Jane Superweed.

Harvesting:The seeds may be gathered as the pods become brown and dry. The podsform where the flowers die and fall off. Immature seeds are more bitterthan ripe ones. It has been reported that immature seeds contain morealkaloids, but this has not been confirmed. There are approximately 850seeds per ounce of the Heavenly Blue variety; which is about 43 seeds per1.5 gram pack sold at most garden stores. The stem and leaves containsome alkaloid. However, because they contain purgative principles, thispart of the plant is used only in extraction. If used, pick fresh and dryquickly without heat.

Note: Some suppliers coat their seeds with toxins either as a fungicide orto discourage their use as hallucinogens. The symptoms of ingestingtreated seeds are vomiting and diarrhea. Some people experience nauseafrom ingesting untreated seeds and fear they have taken treated seeds.However, if the company has treated their seeds, they must say so on thepackage. To test your susceptibility to nausea, chew 50 to 100 seeds orless the first time.

LSA INFORMATION

In 1959, the ethnobotanist Richard Schultes sent samples of a cultivatedMexican morning glory, Turbina corymbosa, to Albert Hoffman, thediscoverer of LSD. Schultes had seen it used by a Zapotec shaman. In1960, Hoffman analyzed the seeds and said they contained ergot-likealkaloids. This was hard for people to believe since previously suchchemicals had only been found in the rye fungus Claviceps purpurea(ergot). But Hoffman was right; the seeds contained d-lysergic acidamide. This differs from LSD only in that it has a NH2 where LSD has aN(C2H5)2, but LSD is some 50 to 100 times as potent. The morning gloryTurbina corymbosa's seeds also have other psychoactive alkaloids inthem: d-isolysergic acid amide, chanoclavine, elymoclavine, and lysergol.

In 1960, Don Thomes MacDougall reported that seeds of anothermorning glory, Ipomoea violacea were used as sacraments by certainZapotecs, sometimes with the Turbina corymbosa seeds and sometimesnot. This morning glory species is the one with familiar varieties inAmerica: Heavenly Blue, Pearly Gates, Flying Saucers, Blue Star, SummerSkies and Wedding Bells. The Ipomoea violacea has the samepsychoactive compounds in it except with ergometrine instead oflysergol. Ergometrine has strong uterus-stimulating properties so it's areally bad idea for pregnant women to eat these seeds. Also, these seedsare supposed to be bad for people with liver problems (e.g. jaundice,hepatitus). These seeds are called badoh negro down in South America,since they are black, and some people think these were the mysterioustlitliltzin, which is the Nahuatl word for "black" with a reverential suffix.

DosageLSA (ergine) is 1/10th as Potent as LSD-25 by weight:

Threshhold……………0.2 mgCommon……………. 0.5- 1.5 mgStrong ………………..1.5 - 4.0 mgHeavy ……………….. 4.0 mgDo Not Dose………… More Than 4.0mg

Onset: 2 Hours to peak.Duration : 10 - 14 hoursNormal After Effects : up to 24

1 Morning Glory (I. violacea) seed has about 0.01mg LSA.1 Hawaiian Baby Wood Rose seed has about 0.25mg LSA

Heavenly Blues have 0.035% LSA by weight.1 gram of these seeds is about 29 seeds so 1 seed = 34.48 mgSo each seed contains about .012mg LSA.

The seeds are usually sold in 1.5 gram packs. Six of these packs =250 seeds which is 3.15mg of LSA and quite a strong trip if the LSAis extracted properly.

EXTRACTION OF LSA FROM SEEDS

The above photo shows the size of Heavenly Blue MorningGlory seeds. They are much larger than normal Morning Gloryseeds. If you buy a variety pack of seeds, they will weight about4.5 grams per 200 seeds and the look very different. But theseweight about 9 grams per 250 seeds. Normal variety packMorning Glory seeds won't contain much LSA, if any, andcertainly won't produce a trip.

Process:

1. Grind up 250 seeds (9 grams) Heavenly Blue in apepper grinder or coffee grinder. I use a hand heldpepper grinder that works by pushing down on thetop. Opening it up was a bit tricky, and I had to usetweezers to hold the center bar in place while Iunscrewed the bottom adjusting knob. Then when Ifinally got the seeds inside, I had to turn it back andforth to grind the seeds; the push button would just getjammed.

10

2. After the seeds are ground to a sandy powder, placethem in 150ml of ether from Starting Fluid in a glassbottle. In the photo you can see which brand I like -the can says "contains diethyl ether and petroleumsolvents." This brand of ether is the only one I know towork well. If you use lighter fluid or naptha, some ofthe LSA will dissolve in the solvent and thus decreaseyour yield; this is due to impurities. Those othersolvents also smell terrible. Shake the bottle as hard asyou can until your arm is tired. Open the cap to let outpressure, then leave the seed powder to soak for 2hours.

11

3. Filter the solution of ether through a coffee filter. Itshould run through fast and easy. The color of thesolution should be like the photo below. This ethercontains all the bad stuff in the seeds that was solublein ether, and should be discarded. This "bad stuff" iswhat makes you puke and shit your brains out. Byremoving it, your trip should be very smooth. TheLSA wasn't soluble in ether, so it remained behind inthe seed powder. But if you used a solvent other thanether, or one that contains impurities, then some ofthe LSA was extracted also.

12

4. To dry the seed powder, scrape it off the filter and putit on a new filter paper. The shape of the coffee filterwill help prevent the powder from spilling all over theplace. Some of powder will stick to the old filter paper,and scraping it off will help it dry much faster. Itshould only take about 15 minutes for all the powderto be completely dry because ether evaporates quickly.

5. Now soak the dried seed powder in 150ml of strongalcohol. The best to use is Everclear, but Bacardi 151will work also. Shake it until you can't shake anymore,then let it soak for an hour. If you don't have alcohol,you can use water with a little lime juice, and you willstill get a good extract, but it won't kick in as fastwhen you drink it.

6. You will find that trying to filter this solution is hardbecause it clogs the coffer filter instantly. Try strainingit through a wire mesh first to remove the big pieces,then through a white cotton cloth from an old (butclean) t-shirt. Then filter it through the coffee filter.

Now you will have a very nice little dose of LSA inalcohol. You used 250 Heavenly Blue seeds, so you havea dose of about 3 milligrams LSA.

EXPERIENCE AND ADVICE

Trip report:

Using the exact process in this book, I made an extract of3 milligrams LSA from 250 seeds of Heavenly Blue Ifound at the local garden store. This was consumed at4:00 pm.

4:30 - I start to feel the energetic effects coming onalready. The room has changed, and I'm definitely nolonger sober.

5:00 - The effects are getting much stronger now, and Ican feel the energy going up my spine. Everything feelsvery strange and I'm wondering if this experience isgoing to be bad. The trip is affecting my mind in a waythat doesn't feel right.

5:30 - Now I'm tripping. It's hard to adjust because of thestimulation of the spine. The energy feels like a crossbetween what you feel when you stretch your arms, andwhat you feel when you get the chills right down to yourbones.

14

6:00 - This whole time I've been listening to music, andit's really helped keep my mind focused. I'm gettingmore comfortable with the trip because now the 'thick'energy of the trip is taking over and making everything'liquid' and melting my mind.

7:00 - I'm now peaking, and it's as strong as LSD butwithout the visuals and less fun. But it has the exact samefeel to it, with the melting of the mind effect. I decide toplay some darts so I will be standing up. When I waslaying down I felt like I was upside-down. I also changedthe music to more up-beat happy hardcore techno.Walking around feels insane, almost like floating as aghost. Now I'm starting to enjoy the trip.

8:00 - I put in the "Alien Dreamtime" tape by TerenceMckenna and the visuals are mind-blowing. While I'mwatching it, I move my head to the music I'm playing inthe background. When I stop moving, it feels completelydifferent and the trip 'rolls' with energy through mybody.

9:00 - I like the trip a lot now, and I don't want it to end.I'm glad that it's going to continue for at least another 4hours. When I breathe in deeply, it feels like the wholeroom is going into my lungs. There is a very thick energy

15

from the LSA that has washed over my whole body.Simply amazing that this came from a flower.

10:00 - I'm starting to get tired and hungry because Ihaven't eaten since 2:00pm. But the LSA makes it almostimpossible to eat food, and completely takes away yourappetite. I only want food because I know logically thatit will give me energy, but I have no desire to eat it, so Iforget about it.

11:00 - I'm so tired now that I'm not even enjoying thetrip as much. I feel drained, and my mind is empty.When I turn on off the music, my mind goes blank andthe trip becomes boring.

12:00 - I decided to lay down with my eyes close and seewhat happens. I end up falling asleep and wake up at3am.

So this trip was very intense and at the peak, I felt like Itook way to much. But after the peak it felt like just theright amount. I really feel that if I had eaten, I would'vehad more energy and could have stayed awake until atleast 2am.

16

LSA makes every thought you have seem alien. Yourentire identity gets wiped away, and you have a wholenew consciousness. But it's hard to determine if this is agood thing. During an LSA trip, there is no bigdiscoveries or deep insights; nothing is learned. It makesyour mind very blank and can quickly become boring ifyou don't keep yourself entertained. And for me LSD isalmost the same, but a little more creative, almost like amix between shrooms and LSA.

Shrooms are certainly a far superior trip to LSA, andeverything is adventurous and fun. And the visuals onshrooms are amazing. Perhaps it's because the activechemicals in shrooms are psilocybin and psilocin. Andthe psilocybin gets converted to psilocin in the stomach,which is only different from DMT because of 1 extraoxygen atom. This is why psilocin has been called "theorally active form of DMT".

But nothing compares to DMT. It is the ultimate tripexperience, but it's not a party drug and isn't always funfor everyone. DMT also is a neurotransmitter thatenhances the brain instead of wearing it out like otherpsychedelics do. With DMT, you learn a lot, and you candevelop psychic ability, as well as use magical powersand even heal people and materialize objects. This maysound nuts, but it makes perfect sense when you

17

understand that DMT is produced naturally in the brainduring Astral Travel (out-of-body), lucid dreams, and atthe moment of death (tests were done with spinal tap).And during a lucid dream or when out of body, you canask your higher mind to heal you are someone else, oreven materialize something very complex, including aperson. The Rosicrucian Order has known about this fora long time. I discovered it by just trying it out.

So because I have experience with these otherpsychedelics, it's hard for the LSA trip to live up to myexpectations. I was disappointed that I didn't achieveanything during my trip, but I was also glad it didn'tdrive me crazy. Because one time I took 10 BabyHawaiian Wood Rose seeds and I felt like I was goingcompletely insane. I thought maybe I should bang myhead against the wall just to make my mind focus. But Iput on some music with my headphones and rocked myhead back and forth, and this saved me. After a while Iwas able to lay still and put my mind in a place that wasa complete void; total darkness away from everything.But the trip was complete hell, and much harder thanLSD could ever be.

With LSD, you can take 10 times the normal dose, and itjust makes the trip stronger, but with LSA if you takeeven twice the dose, it makes you insane until it's over.

18

One thing I should also mention is that LSA will makeyou have to urinate more than usual. And sometimes youdon't realize it, and you are feeling uncomfortable butyou don't know why. So remember to use the bathroom,and you will feel a lot better.

The beginning of the trip feels very bizarre and willprobably make you a little paranoid about what's tocome. But after about 2 hours, the 'thick' energy of thetrip comes and makes everything feel better.

LSA feels like it lacks something. Maybe smoking someSalvia extract would change things. Or perhaps evensome alcohol to calm down the stimulation. Opiummight also be a great drug to be on while tripping onLSA. And you can get it by ordering opium pods off thenet and making an acid/base extraction. They even sellthose pods on eBay. I don't recommend doing opium hasa habitual drug, but in this situation it could be just thetrick. It reminds me of James Arthur's theory about apainting that shows Jesus with 5 plants (shown on nextpage). Which also reminds me that Aminata might bewonderful to mix with LSA. I have done this mushroommany times, and each time it was completely different. Iprepared it properly by heating at 190°F for one hour toconvert the ibotenic acid to muscimol, but sometimes it

19

felt like ecstasy, sometimes like opium, and sometimeslike speed or cocaine.

"A Careful look at this painting (Jesus above the four plants underscored by the green vine),reveals much more than is on the surface. This may be an alchemical recipe for the ingredients ofthe true Soma (or whatever you want to call the elixir of the Gods). The red plant, on the right,is clearly the Amanita muscaria (which produces the quickening of the spirit). The next is clearlyanother mushroom, but it is blue. This would indicate a Psilocybe species (which opens the thirdeye). Next, we may have the depiction of the Syrian Rue plant, and pod, which happens tomatch this depiction in color, as well as structure (Syrian Rue contains Telepathine, an MAOinhibitor, which increases the properties of the other compounds, and Rue is also likely to possessother qualities). The Syrian Rue (Peganum harmala) is an MAO Inhibitor that parallels the functionof Pinoline (a natural MAO Inhibitor) naturally produced by the Pineal Gland. The combination ofthe Pineal secreted DMT (Dimethyltriptamine) and Pinoline (The MAO Inhibitor) may beresponsible for naturally occurring psychic experiences. Fourth is a depiction of the Opium Poppy(the euphoria this plant induces enables one to relax enough to let go, which otherwise is a verydifficult thing to do, in order to fully experience the visionary state of this intensive plantcombination). Fifth is the green vine which underscores the other four, I suggest that this mayrepresent Green plants, including Cannabis (which is used to prevent nausea and also enhancesother things, as well as reactivating neuro-pathways opened by entheogens), and other greenplants which have a history of indigenous usage the world over, including various grasses andplants which contain DMT (Dimethyltryptamine). " I disagree with James Arthur about the greenvine being related to marijuana, and I think it's more likely a DMT containing plant.

20

The problem is, by itself LSA just makes you feel crazy,but I'm convinced that if it's combined with the rightdrugs, it will be the perfect ingredient that was missing.

Smoking DMT would also probably change the trip andadd the visuals that are lacking. Perhaps the mostdisappointing thing about LSA is the lack of visuals.

I don't suggest you smoke marijuana while on LSAbecause it will greatly increase the paranoia and cloudyour mind even more.

In the next edition of this book, I will have more tripreports that use combinations of LSA with other drugs tosee if I can find a happy medium. I have pure "black wax"salvia acetone extract that I'm going to make intocrystals, as well as DMT from the common reed plant(Phragmites Australis). You can download the PDFdocument on extracting DMT from this plant on theeMule file sharing network at eMule.net

I strongly recommend that anyone reading thisdocument also visit www.Pharmacratic-Inquisition.comand download the free 3.5 hour video about entheogensin religion and alchemy. Even if you have a slow dial-upconnection you can download the video in 7 differentchapters.
