After a nice trip to a local University to see a friend of mine, my girlfriend, two friends, and myself decided to head to a little plant store just outside of the town. There we acquired approx. half an ounce of Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds, among other plants. Several days after our return, I decided it would be a nice idea to give them a try. Here is a brief description of what followed.

At approximately 5 pm, I ingest a soda bottle cap sized chunk of fresh ginger to help with any nausea I could possibly experience with the HBWR.

5:30 pm, I ate 5 HBWR seeds, after having scraped the fuzzy outer coating off of the seed. (I figured better safe than sorry.)

6:00 pm, I feel the first subtle waves of LSA intoxication wash over my being. It's a familiar buzz, similar to that which the LSA's in Ipomea violacea provide, but more similar I think to the buzz felt under the influence of psilocybin containing mushrooms. Very relaxing, almost sedating. It's like a chemical massage.

6:15 pm, I threw on some music, a compilation entitled Unity Dub's Voyage into Paradise. A very relevant title, I think. I can't quite tell if there's any difference between the first wave of the drug and what I'm feeling now. There's a slight sensation of distance from my head. I'm definitely tripping, but it's nothing really spectacular.

6:30 pm, I ate another two seeds to boost the trip. I'd like to see if I can reach the point where I'm experiencing visuals, and where my mind is set on overdrive. I feel like there's something lacking with this drug. Not psychedelic enough for my liking (haha).

7:30 pm, The album I put on is close to over, and I'm starting to feel nice and trippy. There are some pretty tracers following things around the room, it's quite entertaining. I decide that maybe it would be a nice idea to smoke a bong load or two of some good dank and relax. It's time to find out where this drug will take me.

7:40 pm, I've finished smoking, and now seem to be overpowered by the cannabis. The LSA might as well have left my system already. I decide to take one last seed to boost. Probably shouldn't, but oh well. It's fun to experiment. I'm having some strange flashes of color behind my closed eyelids, like in-between a high dose of cannabis and a low dose of mushrooms. The music in the background is relaxing, Younger Brother does wonders for that sort of thing.

8:40 pm, I'm thinking maybe it wasn't the best idea to add that extra seed. Still no trace of the nausea everyone talks about, but I'm feeling an excess of physical energy. I think I'll go for a quick walk, see if I can get it under control.

9:00 pm, Back home in bed, still feeling a little off, but getting better. I'm starting to settle into a nice soft sort of psychedelic state. Visual distortions are more pronounced, things seem to waver and peel almost like flames, and shimmer with a mild iridescent quality. My thoughts are easily guided with a small amount of focus. This drug would be a great help along a spiritual journey.

11:00 pm, I decide to get up and get something to snack on. The only thing I can find is a bowl of Captain Crunch. Poor choice. The dry cereal mixed with the milk has an awful textural quality. I force myself to eat the whole thing, as I haven't eaten since around 2 and I know I need something. The trip has been moving in mild waves, similar to LSD, but with not as pronounced high points. At the low points, the effects are almost unnoticeable, but soon make a full return. I feel like this would be a good intro drug to psychedelics.

1:00 am, I decide to smoke some Calea to help put me to sleep, as I remember I have to be to class in the am. The Calea sends me into a very visual state, not like dreaming, but like my thoughts are explained in the form of a film. A nice way to end the night.

8:00 am, I wake up to the sound of my alarm, feeling refreshed and surprisingly well rested. I'm quite satisfied with last night's endeavor.

All in all, I had a great time. I feel that these types of LSA's are a wonderful alternative to LSD, although not nearly as visually stimulating as LSD. I've done them twice since this trip, and still no nausea whatsoever. I'll definitely be experimenting more with this wonderful tool in the future.
