Here's a trip report of my first real experience with morning glory seeds which happened about 3 months ago. I ate 400 untreated morning glory seeds of the heavenly blue variety and had a trip lasting about 8 hours. For those that don't know the seeds contain LSA which is a psychedelic compound similar to LSD.
at 2pm I chewed up the seeds for 20 minutes until they were a disgusting tasting pulp and swallowed. Nothing really happened until about an hour in when I started feeling nauseous and weird in the head. I was also becoming paranoid as fuck about the vasoconstriction these seeds were causing, I was afraid I could have a heart attack because my heart rate was up and my veins were smaller than usual. At 3pm I started drinking a bunch of peppermint and ginger tea to counteract the nausea that was coming into effect. I'm not sure how much the tea helped. Perhaps my nausea would have been more severe later in the trip if I hadn't drank the tea. Morning glory seeds are notorious for causing terrible nausea.
4pm my mom comes home and I REALLY did not feel good. Lethargic, weak, and nauseous. I basically tell her I'm sick and want to lay in bed for the rest of the day because I don't want to be interrupted while tripping balls. My first visual was seeing the poster in my room "twitch" on and off into fractal distortions. The way it did it was amazing and reminded me of a TV going fuzzy for a second. and the walls were beginning to melt. I thought "ok there's no turning back now" and curled up into bed to ride the trip out.
4:30pm Basically at this point I'm convinced that I had poisoned myself. (technically I had, but not to the extent I had thought). Although I'm still nauseous at this point, I'm the type of guy that really doesn't vomit no matter how nauseous I get. I found something wrong with this and thought that the only reason people lived through these trips is because they vomited the toxins out before they got killed. I thought the vasoconstriction was causing my fingertips to turn gangrene (I'm sure they weren't actually...I was just really paranoid). So I go to the bathroom and stick my finger down my throat and gag and do a kind of half-puke where it felt like only half of what was in my stomach came out. My mom hears me puking and asks if I'm ok. I say "yeah" and crawl back into bed.
5pm My room was dark and I was seeing all sorts of trippy patterns like rainbow rivers pouring out of my walls and all sorts of kalaidescopes and patterns that can only be described as looking reminiscent of various psychedelic art that I've seen. This surprised me because LSA is known to be mostly a head trip with not many, if any visuals. I would describe the LSA visuals as feeling more "electric" than my shroom trip where the visuals felt more earthly and organic. Not a bad thing at all, just different like apples and oranges. I'm still paranoid about my heart. It feels like its beating really hard, not necessarily very fast, but HARD like a thumping noise. I can feel the vasoconstriction like my whole body is being compressed...mild cramping. I also notice that my jaw is clenched tight. I can release it if I want, but it feels almost instinctual to keep it clamped shut. This really doesn't bother me and apparently it is a common side effect of LSA as well as LSD.
I should note that I'm a REALLY shy guy in real life who doesn't like socializing that much and I was getting all these deep thoughts rushing through my head like "what must people think of a weird quiet guy like me?" "maybe those people who try striking up a conversation with me while I have nothing to say just want to get to know me better" "it must make my mom sad when her only son back talks to a loving and caring person like herself" and "my poor mom must be lonely and sad all by herself downstairs knowing her socially inept son has been locked in his room for hours". Basically I felt really empathetic, about 10x more than normal.
6pm For whatever reason I went from feeling paranoid to feeling really good. I'm not nauseous anymore and the mild cramping isn't bothering me much. I get out of bed to turn on the light and I go on my computer. I'm getting the rippling wave effect all over my walls and floor but its not bad enough that it obstructs my reading. I went on Facebook and read some wall posts. On LSA some of those wall posts sounded so fake and rude it made me feel disgusted with those people. I don't recall any specific wall posts but the LSA made me feel like I could "see through" people's "lies" and fish out all the sincere posts. In particular I remember seeing a picture of a certain beautiful girl with her boyfriend. They were both just having a good time together and I thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. It made my eyes water up and put a huge grin on my face (I know this all sounds so stupid and cheesy, but that's how it happened and it was extremely euphoric).
6:30pm: I wander around upstairs. the floor and walls all have waves like an ocean. it was really neat, but there weren't really any visuals besides that. I go to the bathroom mirror and just watch my face melt and distort itself for about 10-15 minutes. I recognized the person I saw in the mirror as myself but he looked much more friendly and babyfaced than how I normally see myself. Nothing at all was frightening, unlike some trip reports I read of people seeing monsters in the mirror.
7:00pm: I think about walking downstairs and spending time with my mom but I decide against it because there's no way I could pass as sober in this state. My pupils were the size of fucking saucers and I couldn't form coherent sentences. This was unfortunate because in the state of mind I was in I literally felt like I could talk to ANYBODY. It was as if my shy personality had been completely shattered and replaced by the essence of optimism and confidence. I've never done MDMA but I'm willing to bet it would feel similar to how I was feeling.
7:15pm I'm starting to feel myself coming down so I decide I should try listening to music on LSA before the trip ends. Honestly, I did not get any music euphoria like I did on my shroom trip. Although I was euphoric, the euphoria was coming from WITHIN me rather than from the music. I got bored of the music and spent the remainder of the trip just enjoying my giggly happy self.
10:00pm: All visuals gone now, but in my mind I'm still not completely back to Earth yet. I'm tired, but it's impossible to go to sleep with so many thoughts rushing through my head.
Midnight: I finally am able to fall asleep.
In all, these seeds gave me a lot of insight on myself and others and I did try them again a few days ago (200 seeds). This trip was not nearly as favorable, though, and I felt paranoia and panic almost the whole trip because of the vasoconstriction. I was practically taking my pulse every 10 seconds for 4 hours because I thought my heart would give out (I clocked it at 120 bpm RESTING which I now believe was accurate).
Personally, I will never touch morning glory seeds ever again. The negatives simply outweigh the positives. I'm sure LSD is everything morning glory seeds wishes it was plus more.
