Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds (Argyreia nervosa)

The Hawaiian baby woodrose (Argyreia nervosa) is a member of the convolvulaceae family which also includes the morning glory. The seeds contain a naturally occurring tryptamine called LSA (Lysergic Acid Amide), which is closely related to LSD. The seeds are consumed orally, either direct or after extraction of the active alkaloids.

Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Effects / Trips

The effects are somewhat similar to those of LSD, but less intense and less visual. A Hawaiian baby woodrose trip lasts 6-8 hours; tranquil feelings may last an additional 12 hours. Sleep is deep and refreshing after the trip, however some users may experience a hangover characterized by blurred vision, vertigo, and physical inertia.

Nausea and other stomach complaints are quite common side effects of consuming Hawaiian baby woodrose, which are not caused by the LSA but other compounds in the seeds. This is why some users choose to extract the LSA from the seeds.

How to consume Baby Woodrose seeds

Because use is oral, onset is affected by the last food that was ingested (try not to eat 4-6 hours before you eat the seeds). The average dosage is 4 to 8 seeds. Some users advise to take no more than 2 or 3 the first time. The seeds must chewed for as long as possible as the active substances are absorbed by the body's saliva.

Here is a recipe to let the woodrose seeds work more efficiently:

1. Remove any remaining husk and cut the seeds up in small bits with a knife or pair of scissors They can also be pulverized in a coffee grinder.
2. Put them in a cup and pour half a cup of hot but not boiling   water on them. It is best to use distilled water as tap water and mineral water contain minerals which can diminish the effect of the seeds
3. Leave for at least 1½ hours for the water to cool down to room temperature. The alkaloids dissolve in the water at a certain temperature that is reached at some time during the cooling process.
4. Drink the water together with the seeds.

Warning

1. Do not operate heavy machinery. Do Not Drive.
2. Do not use Hawaiian Woodrose seeds when pregnant. LSA is closely related to LSD which is a uterine contractor that can increase risk of miscarriage during pregnancy
3. Individuals currently in the midst of emotional or psychological upheaval in their everyday lives should be careful about choosing to use psychedelics such as Hawaiian Woodrose seeds, as they can bring out dormant emotions.
4. Individuals with a family history of schizophrenia or early onset mental illness should be extremely careful as psychedelics have been known to trigger latent psychological and mental problems.
5. Although Hawaiian woodrose belong to the same family as the morning glory, Hawaiian woodrose seeds are much stronger.
6. Do not combine LSA with alcohol, MAO inhibitors or other drugs.

“Update: I smoked a small amount of weed the other day and had a flashback to my trip! It was pretty mild, and only about half an hour long. Still, it reminds me that this is related to LSD and stays in your system long-term. I will keep this in mind to only trip a few times a year. It was an unexpected bonus!”

“First up, I want to thank this site and the people who run it because reading a lot of reviews, the good and the bad, gave me a lot of good information on these seeds.

I took 9 seeds total. I ordered 12 a year ago, and I "did" 3 just to test them out. I got a bad stomach ache, but that was it.
I took a year-long herb class that took a very spiritual approach, teaching you to meet the plant spirits. This isn't too complicated, but it is good to have practice with everyday plants before taking powerful shamanic herbs. The key to meeting the plant spirits is to acknowledge the plant as a conscious being and an equal. Be open to the plant and approach it with respect. The more poisonous a plant is, the greater your respect and caution should be. Caution is completely different from fear...it is very practical and grounded.

With this in mind, and since I was taking the seeds by myself, I just took 5 at first. I chewed them up well, one by one, and swallowed them. I drank a soothing tea to help them go down. Later I took 3 more, because I saw that I could handle it and didn't want to do half measures....I wanted to have the full experience. Later, I took the last seed.

When I started to feel the first dose taking effect, I mentally spoke to the plant spirit. I told him/her that I had enormous respect for it, I was going into this with total humility and total acceptance of whatever the plant wanted to show me. I asked it to help me figure out what to do with my life. To anyone taking these seeds, I strongly advise you to start by thanking the plant, no preconceptions, and no ego.

There were scary moments. I felt nauseous a few times but this was dwarfed by the enormity of the experience. No ritual cleansing is necessary. Avoiding meat during the previous day is a good idea, but not necessary. Set up a simple altar on your bedside table with a candle and some objects that were freely given to you by people who love you, and anything you feel should be there. Go to church or whatever spiritual practice you do the day beforehand, but ceremony is good (I don't normally go in for ceremonies but I did attend a Christmas service the day before.)

Don't worry about making a perfect environment or being perfectly prepared. If you go in with the right attitude, that is all the preparation you need.
There were also moments early on when I was concerned I would die because all my basic life functions, such as breathing, were now voluntary. If I fell asleep, I might forget to breathe. So I got up and walked around from room to room. I reasoned that if I was walking and moving around, then I could be sure I would keep breathing. So I paced around for a while. After that I sat around with my eyes open letting the experience wash over me. I was not afraid at all. I felt that if mickey mouse came busting through the ceiling or whatever, that was fine with me. Yet there were no visuals at all. I had morbid thoughts and thought about suicide. But I was not seriously going to harm myself. I understood that this was a metaphor for the death of my ego and all the preconceptions I had about life-- all my imaginary problems. At one point I was holding some grass in my hand. This means that I went outside, though I can't remember doing so. This worried me a little because I didn't want to leave any weird stuff around the house because I didn't want any hassles from my family. I flushed the grass down the toilet and decided I wouldn't worry about whatever else....I was having this enormous experience, and my parents discovering, say, vomit on the floor the next morning did not seem life the end of the world. I wanted to go to back to bed and felt more confident about breathing, so I went and laid down.


I started feeling really good physically. All the tension was gone from my body-- it felt like I had just had the world's best full-body massage. Then I started to be flooded with happiness. First it was just elation. Then I started to think about choice bits of wisdom I had heard from different places throughout my life, from Jesus to Don Juan to Bill Hicks to Mary Daly (lol, I know you are rolling your eyes now, but all these folks are very inspired and the superficial differences in philosophy and lifestyle are trivial....I felt that parts of what each of them was saying was the voice of God speaking through them).


I became one with God. I felt enormous love for all mankind. All my friends and family, and everyone I had ever known, even the ones I thought I hated or had done bad things to me. The more twisted the person was, the more compassion I felt for them. I felt tremendous pity for all the bad people and love for everyone. I was sorry for everything hurtful I had ever done. I saw that the whole career issue was a non-issue. I don't need anything, I thought. I don't need to achieve anything or see any miracles or impose anything on anyone. I am so grateful for what I have and I totally trust God/dess to provide me with everything I need. All I want is be good to everyone I meet and to myself for the rest of my life.


My family started to wake up and go through their morning routines. I was coming down but still very high. I was hungry but I didn't want to scare my family because I was still so high. I eventually went downstairs and ate just a tablespoon of natural honey and half a cup of herb tea. I was careful not to do or say anything that would cause them to react negatively. I just was as good to them as I could be and tried to be act inconspicuous.

It's now 14 hours after I took these seeds. This plant is an angel that can help you connect with God. It is very powerful and should be approached with enormous respect and total humility. If you do this it will treat you right and there is nothing to fear. I recommend doing it alone or with someone who is spiritually advanced (NOT someone who THINKS they are spiritually advanced but are in fact full of themselves)-- I am so glad that I didn't lose the experience by having to comfort anyone who was "freaking out" or resisting the herb or treating it as a superficial joyride. I do not think I am superior to these people, but I am very glad I did not have to deal with them at the time and could concentrate completely on the spiritual experience. Good luck everyone and God bless.”

“I took this with my girlfriend and a longtime shaman friend. He and I took 12 seeds, she took 10. WE ALL THREW UP. It was disgusting. However, we were expecting that.
Later, after 1 hour and a half, we started feeling the plant. The feelings were amazing.
When we smoked a J, or smoked a ciggy, we didn't feel anything, the plant's effects were so overpowering that we couldn't feel anything else. Thought that was interesting.

But my girlfriend and I started appreciating everything, from her mother to my mother, our friends (even called them up and said how much we appreciated them), and chicken wings you can order, cause they come from the delivery guy-> the cook-> the market-> the farm they grew in-> so we were appreciating the fact that it takes years of work to bring us that meat and eat it. It was a beautiful day. The whole trip was amazing, it gave me so much insight and so much clarity regarding life. I highly support this plant and the eating of it.”
