SWIM once did a cold water extraction on 3 grams of MG seeds and also acidified the water to ph = 4 with a dash of 99% DL tartaric acid powder for wine making from ebay.
SWIM put the finely crushed seed powder (ground up with short bursts in an electric coffee grinder) into an empty teabag then stapled it shut and put the bag in 1/2 liter of distilled cold water on top a magnetic stirrer for 20 minutes. SWIM dropped the stirrer into the jar of water and suspended the teabag in the water by trapping the string from the teabag in a tiny hole SWIM drilled in the center of the closed lid. SWIM sealed the hole in the lid with glue from a hot glue gun (hobby lobby). This allowed the teabag to spin like crazy under the
stir bar while allowing a funnel cloud of white actives to pour out of it (very visible). SWIM put aluminum foil around the jar to shield it from light.
For 20 minutes SWIM watched as a tornado of white polar actives exited the teabag and went into the water as the stir bar spun on high setting. The result was a crystal clear extraction (none of the nauseating non-polars got into the water as they are not water soluble) with tons of white polar actives in the water that looked like salt. So long as your extraction does not go on for too long, the nauseating nonpolars will stay inside the teabag. When the stirring stopped, the white polar actives (like salt) would congregate on the bottom of the jar 1/4" thick and would go back into suspension by shaking the jar with lid closed.
After 20 minutes (when SWIM could notice no more actives streaming out of the teabag) SWIM put the jar with teabag still hanging in it into the fridge for another 25 minutes to soak some more. SWIM shook the jar about 3 times during that period. After the 25 minutes was up, SWIM opened the jar and threw away the teabag. Then SWIM took the jar of water and blended it in a blender for 3 minutes to help chop and mix the polar white material at the bottom of the jar into the water.
SWIM drew up some of the crystal clear water from the top of the liter jar with a medicine dropper full of the water and put it in front of a 4 foot blacklight tube and it glowed an intense bluish-white color telling SWIM that SWIM's extraction was successful.
SWIM can't stress enough how helpful it is to test some of your solution under a blacklight. The indoles in the extraction glow bright whitish blue just as LSD does.
SWIM drank the water and felt the effects in 2 to 2.5 hours. SWIM went from a foul mood to profound euphoria--felt like the mental effects of LSD with the euphoria without many visuals, however SWIM's hearing and sense of smell was enhanced significantly. SWIM was in a shopping mall when the effects hit--all the sudden SWIM felt it coming on and SWIM announced to SWIM's wife how good SWIM was feeling. The women trying on clothes in changing room would come out to look at themselves in the mirror in the pavilion and they seemed to transform into models. SWIM found it hard not to watch as the euphoria increased. SWIM passed by several speakers blasting out music and SWIM just wanted to stop and sit under the speakers because the music sounded so good. SWIM's hearing and sense of music was increased by a huge factor. SWIM went to more stores and again SWIM was super-impressed with music. It felt similar to a small dose of mdma. The anti-depressant effects were very high and SWIM could not believe that the seed extraction was working so well. SWIM passed by a bath and body and the smells coming from the store were again intensified. SWIM was a grinning idiot from ear to ear. SWIM went from a bad mood when SWIM drank it to a state of ecstasy when it kicked in nearly 2.5 hours later, the transformation was amazing...SWIM hadn't felt so good in a very long time. The extraction worked and the mental effects were amazing. SWIM thanks God for that amazing afternoon.
Would complement mescaline doses very nicely, SWIM plans to combine in the future.
In SWIM's on-going research to understand how hydrolization (water extract) of morning glory seeds work, SWIM found this article by chemist SWAM very helpful (Spring 2008):
****************
search "earthrites.org" to find the paper since rules prohibit me from posting link. See pages 25-35 on first downloadable pdf issue. (Not the second issue but the 1st one)
Water extraction of the seeds was also the method used by the Shaman's for thousands of years.
SWIM just remembered that SWIM is not allowed to link offsite, so SWIM had to take the link down, but I'm sure you will be able to find it...this 10 page article on morning glory seeds and LSA/iso-LSA was presented at the last LSD symposium. IN the article, the chemist who has had experience with the seeds describes how water extraction causes via epimerisation 3 conformation forms of LSA/iso-LSA to form instead of only 2 that would form by "eating seeds" hence the enhanced activity via water extraction when performed correctly. The chair form of LSD is then compared with the chair form of iso-LSA (formed in water after about 45 minutes to 1 hour) and conclusions are made. 3 ergine variants formed from ergine in the water over the course of an hour or so may just result in a mixture that is so effective according to him.
