Dose - Good plans?

[megadump5]

Swim plans to ingest some split personality morning glory seeds. He thinks he'll crush them up and pour them into a water bottle and just drink/eat them. He wonders if this will be a good method.

Has worked fine for SWiM. Use bottled water for best results, as chlorinated tap water can kill the actives. Acidify the water (lemon/lime juice) and agitate for a half hour or so to get it to work a bit better. Tell SWiY to leave the bottle in the refrigerator when not agitating, as light also can deactivate LSAs.

Hope it works out. Post a trip report and tell us how it goes for SWiY.

Is it possiblem to use tap water if its been boiled? Or does it exist a method of removing the chlorine in the water so SWIU could use tap water?

btw, what the hell is a split-personality morning glory seed?

One would have to distill the water. SWiM has used tap water, but obtaining distilled water requires fairly little effort, so generally he's used it. I think it has given him better results, but there are, as is generally the case when using plant materials, too many variables involved for him to be able to say so with any certainty.

Boiling water will help to remove chlorine, but just leaving the tap water in a bottle (better still a dish or bowl) with the lid off for 24 hours should also allow the chlorine to evaporate off.

Ipomoea purpurea swim just found them. What if they have pesticide?

Also would first time trip on 400 of those seeds require a sitter.

when it come down to dosing and cost, swim would recommend finding the best way to take the straight. after years swim would recommend eating straight, but many cannot handle the taste and texture. grinding to powder may make for easier ingestion. to the extend of knowledge the entire seed contains active alkaloids to some degree.

so happy flowers to swiy!

Seeds are unlikely to have any sort of additives unless it says so somewhere on the label. I wouldn't worry about it. I might worry about freshness, as neither storage conditions nor shelf-life are conducive to the preservation of the alkaloids. This is, I imagine, why store-bought seeds often seem to have lesser potencies.

Trips may or may not turn out to have necessarily required or relied on a sitter in retrospect, but trips have the categorical potential to get you into situations or states in which the presence of one can be useful, even if only for the sake of safety.

For morning glories I don't think that potential is that significant, but research the drug a bit for an hour or two and you're likely to come to conclusion based on most of what's known about the plant. Erowid is a good source (try the effects and health sections), or search for it in forums.

If the seeds were found, there is little reason to suspect contamination either. The papery shell would have protected them. If there is good reason to be concerned, (Burpee seeds, you just saw them being sprayed the day before you harvested them, or they had been sprayed often through the summer), probably best to find alternate seeds.
