My First Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Experience (kinda long write up)
I will start off by saying that Swims's tried/got into a few other things that include: shrooms, weed, salvia, mellow opiates (codeine and vicodin), xanax, ambien, alcohol, a few herbals, and now hawaiian baby woodrose.
Swims first experience with lsa was pretty disappointing. He and his friend each ingested 4 hawaiian baby woodrose seeds in gel caps. They had both fasted for approximately 4 hours before, only drinking water, to reduce nausea. They took the pills at approx. 11 pm. the first effects were noticed at about 11:45 (45 minutes after ingestion). They were watching TV in the dark and both began to see relatively strong tracers. colors looked slightly brighter. the movie ended about 15 minutes later (T+1:00) and they decided to lay down in the dark until we fell asleep. SWIM didn’t feel at any point that he was "tripping" but he did feel a weird sensation that he had never felt before. it was as if SWIM was on a roller coaster. He had the same feeling that one has when going down a big drop on a rollercoaster. He felt like he was being tickled from the inside out and generally felt pretty good. at this point there was mild nausea for both he and his friend. They both ended up falling asleep at about 12:30 so the seeds didn’t seem to keep them up at all.
SWIM was exited to finally have his fun of the night. SWIM's friends had already smoked but he couldn’t due to drug tests. SWIM waited for the right time and finally SWIM ingested 2 gel caps that contained between 6-8 seeds total. SWIM took the gel caps at 12:00 am exactly. after this they went and chilled in a hot tub. He began to feel the first effects at about 12:45. They were still in the hot tub and SWIM was sitting on the rim of it. He sank into the water because he was getting cold, and the water felt like it was squeezing all the air out of his lungs, like he was in a lot of underwater pressure. It was a little overwhelming but not unpleasant. At this point for some reason SWIM had a big grin on his face (could have been the atmosphere, with his friends now smoking again). SWIM decided to go inside without his friends and sit with another friend who had passed out.
He was sitting in the dark, listening to his iPod (music sounded great) when the CEVs hit. they were intricate, colorful (sometimes blinking and flashing rainbows of colors). there were spirals, zig zags, checkered patterns, as well as a ton of other things SWIM cant remember. He went outside and got some donuts and cookies from his high friends and went back inside. After eating the junk food was when the nausea hit. About 20 minutes later SWIM was still sitting in the dark, listening to music, feeling a little sick, when SWIM's friends came in. They all crashed and put on music. At this point there were no OEVs besides some blurriness. They sat in the dark tripping out for about a half hour, and for some reason SWIM's eyes were closed for most of it because it felt kind of good to have them closed but he wasn’t tired. He was feeling pretty bad so he went and tried to make himself throw up but he couldn’t even get himself to gag, pretty strange, but he went back and sat down.
SWIM thought that it was about 1:30 at this point. He was still having strong CEVs but no OEVs when they all decided to go upstairs and lay down for the night. SWIM was lucky and got the bed. When he finally got settled, SWIM started to break into a cold sweat and felt like he had poisoned himself, but he kept telling himself "it will end." SWIM's eyes were still closed because it felt better but when he opened his eyes about 20 minutes later, he realized the CEVs had been projected into his vision as intense open eye visuals. Every time he tried to sit up or move around in bed, he tripped twice as hard. SWIM still felt poisoned, cold sweat and all, but the nausea was gone. the OEVs were mostly one big warping spiral in his vision, that sometimes was covered in colored checkered patterns. this part of the trip was a lot like the program on the internet that you look at for a given amount of time and look away and it makes you have open eye visuals. SWIM was also experiencing the "roller coaster" feeling I noted above. The seeds definitely kept him up for a while but he dozed off at about 5 AM.
The next morning SWIM woke up and still had some visuals but they tapered off eventually. He left his friends about 45 minutes after waking up and felt very hung over. SWIM had somewhat of a headache, and bright light was very unpleasant to his eyes. He felt somewhat detached for the rest of the day and still felt some mild after effects of the trip 2 days after.
reflections:
SWIM would say that if shrooms are the "weed of psychedelics," more forgiving, with not too many bad side effects, LSA would be the alcohol. The trip felt more like he was drunk and tripping, as compared to shrooms where he feels stoned and tripping. SWIM was stumbling a lot, experienced nausea at some point, and felt hung over for 2 days after. To him, the trip was not worth the side effects, but if there weren’t any, it would be a great drug. There were, however, no drug induced thoughts experienced, as there are with shrooms and LSD. SWIM was still communicating easily with friends and was listening to their conversations but he was experiencing visuals. He says its worth a try but not something he’d do often at all. have a sitter!
sorry for the LONG write up, SWIM hope it will help somebody down the road. peace guys, be safe
Also, the body feeling IS comparable to lightly rolling on ecstasy
