Interesting First Experience

Previous experience: Psilocybin mushrooms: 9 times; LSD (low level): 2 times; 2C-B: 1 time; mescaline: 1 time; various other concoctions that were less memorable.

Ground up 5 hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, soaked in distilled water for 24 hours, passed through shirt to try to filter excess material out, drank and tasted fine.
+35 minutes: some pleasant tingling/weirdness in head, slight body high, some not-unfamiliar feelings.
+45 minutes: about the same, but ground up more seeds in case first dose doesn’t work.
+1 hour: Definitely feeling something now, not debatable. Enjoying light, plants outside, dancing to music, definite non-alcohol related energy. Mild stomach issues. Eyes appear dilated somewhat.

+1 hour 30 min: Feeling a tingling in the hair, familiar from other drugs. Though slow, and making me want to take more. Heading to river to smoke a bowl, cigarettes. Enjoy getting out of house, increasing external stimuli, seems to have woken the drug up a bit. Fascinated by river, and touching rocks, tactile sensations are more enjoyable. Can’t stop touching rocks. Mind wandering, hard to record thoughts on voice recorder. Want to smoke bowl but don’t want to adulterate experience. Want to have the LSA experience on its own. Watching bird intently for time period, very cool. Starting to rain slightly.

+2 hours, 30 min: Smoked bowl, drank a beer. Energy very much increased, weird overall feeling. Wanted more, so took ones I ground up just a few hours before.
+3 hours, 30 min: Reading other experiences, amazing that I can read and focus so well. Very pleasant, nervous system going haywire, desire to lay down and listen to music.
+5 hours: Smoked more weed, but weed doesn’t seem to affect me in a noticeable way like usual. I’m still very functional, reading articles online. Mild visuals in darkness with music, but very minimal. Still stunned by energy.
+6 hours?: Cross-over to full tripping experience, but short-lived.

Summary: Pleasant overall, warnings about stomach ailments were overblown, I had some mild nausea but nothing noteworthy. Visuals were minimal and time duration was minimal, these were disappointing. May need higher dose in future experimentation. Although there were moments that reminded me of previous psychedelic experiences. Notable moment: in bathroom staring at floor with speckled design, started to move in organized fashion and I eventually lost myself briefly to visual stimuli, but very enjoyable.

All in all, exhausting, but not unpleasant, worthy of further experimentation at higher doses to see what may be possible with this substance.
