Any advice on removing sediment? Ran through fine mesh sieve and 2 layers of cheesecloth but the particles are very small and clog easily. 1500 seeds, 12 oz ruby port, 1 oz champagne vinegar, and 1 oz everclear were used. Thanks in advance.
Tregar has suggested the use of cotton balls in a funnel. I’ve used this method now to strain mushroom tea. I can say from experience that coffee filters really don’t work well, they clog easily

From all I have read here, dosage is kind of a guessing game depending on a lot of factors. I would suggest starting light and going from there. Nothing wrong with a gradual ascent!

What type of filter material were you using? Just curious.
A cotton ball is pretty generous but would be very effective in collecting large solids and viscous materials.
A finer mesh filter - like a coffee filter - will require vacuum filtration.
Just thinking about this out loud - so to speak. I intend to follow the "tek" as described, perform a few experiments, and then post results. Testing the scientific method.
Curious to see your results.

Unlike most alkaloids, LSA is water soluble when it is in its natural, freebase state...the way it is found in the seeds. it is a rare, exception to a rule because by simple definition, alkaloids are very alkaline or basic when in their freebase form as they normally occur in plants. Thus, they do not dissolve well into water. Most likely, many of the other ergoline akaloids probably are not water-soluble in their freebase form and thus are not extracted from the ground seed matter when a "tea" is made. or they get dissolved into the non-polar solvent used when an A/B extract is performed and they are thrown away.Thus, extracts have a different mix of alkaloids and that is why the trip from A/B extracts or a "tea" of m. g. seeds feels so different than that of the whole seeds. In my vast experience with eating the seeds, and taking extracts, the trip that results is not as good. And I've taken the seeds more than any other psychedelic, except LSD and marijuana. I find them much more narcotic/sedative-like in nature and the effects are really nothing like that which I get from EATING the seeds.The fact that teas or other extracts feel very different from the trip of the whole seed has also been noted by everyone I've shared m.g. seed tea with, and is a comoon thing reported in trip reports. So this is definitely not a phenomena that I am alone in feeling. Many, many, many people IM or email me with morning glory seed questions and most of them who have tried both have also noted that extracts are not as psychedelic and nowhere near as potent as eating the whole seeds.The seeds do cause nausea and vomiting (as many other psychedelics like ayahuasca, mescaline, ibogaine, etc.) but a purge, I feel great. Like I said, I think the seeds are one of the best psychedelics, and I have tried quite a number of different ones.Extractions such as a simple morning glory "tea", or the more complicated A/B extraction, will give you a mixture of different LSA's than those found in the whole seeds. It is the combination of all the ergoline alkaloids in the seeds that make you trip.The main alkaloid is the mostly sedating LA-111, but many others (up to a dozen or so) including d-lysergic acid hydroxyethylamide (closest molecule to LSD found in nature), are known to occur in the seeds. Together, they have a synergestic efffect and produce a very different kind of experience from pure LA-111. It is (in my opinion) a great trip. One of my favorites. Of course the trip from seeds is very different from LSD. But because it is different than LSD does not mean it is not as good. I think they are both very useful. Some of my most meaningful trips have been with natural lysergic acid amides.
agroclavine is soluble in ethanol, chloroform, pyridine, soluble in benzene and ether, very little water soluble.
"Agroclavine is readily soluble in organic acids, agroclavine is stable to acids", wine stands as one of the sources of organic acids. Page 33 "Elymoclavine is only somewhat soluble in water". Peter Webster states in "Sacred Mushrooms of the Goddess, the Secrets of Eleusis" in the morning glory chapter that Chanoclavine is soluble in alcohol.

You should love the cotton ball filtering, it works for filtering out the debris from Ayahuasca, Cactus, or Morning glory seeds, when and if the cotton clogs, you simply replace it with another and continue filtering, may take 2, 3 or more cotton ball chang-ings, but your entheogenic brew will come out super clean and active, your stomach and intestines will thank you--no nausea! Yes, coffee filters are useless. Have dreamed this method of filtering for decades--get's all the nauseating particles out but leaves the water soluble actives in solution. Beats the heck out of useless coffee filters which will not allow anything to flow.To use: just put one cotton ball in a large clean funnel to make it sediment free which reduces or eliminates nausea to the intestines...have two of these funnels with a cotton ball stuffed in them sitting in a large tall jar sitting side by side so that you can pour off liquid from funnel #1 into adjacent "funnel in a jar #2" to continue filtering once the 1st jar's cotton clogs up or slows down the flow too much, continue pouring off the funnel's contents back and forth changing out the cotton when or if it clogs.When you are done with your cotton ball in a funnel filtering, take all your spent cotton and combine it in your hand into a single wad, make a fist and wring out any leftover liquid into a final funnel in a jar with cotton ball stuffed in it, to get every last bit of particle free liquid. You will want to use the larger size black funnels that you can find in your nearest automotive store, buy several of them.
Alternate way to filter from Hermes (see his visual MG report on post #26):
My favorite way to go about this is to first wash the whole seeds in a bowl with a little water and a very small amount of liquid handsoap. I slosh them around and rub them a bit in the soapy water (not too long--could reduce potency). I then rinse them good with cold water in one of those screen vegetable strainers. This is intended to wash off any fungicide or other adulterants. I then dry the seeds well with paper towels.Then I grind the seeds in coffee grinder to a fairly fine consistency, but not to the point of being powder. The hulls should remain somewhat course, while the lighter colored inner stuff is pretty much powder. I then put this stuff into one or several empty tea bags. Don't overfill one. If the bags are small, use several. Next, put the bag(s) into a full glass of cold distilled water (w/squirt of lemon juice to acidify water beforehand) and use a spoon to press on them and make sure they are well-saturated with water. Let sit for 10 minutes in a cool dark place.Use spoon to squeeze and agitate the bag against side of glass some more to get more stuff out. Don't press too hard or you will break the bag and get seed mush into the water, which is undesirable. Leave for 10 more minutes. Squeeze again. Leave for 10 minutes. Squeeze.Remove bags after squeezing most of the water from them into the glass. You can suck on the bags if you want to get more stuff. I don't generally do this. Discard bags. Drink water.
The ancient civilization of Greece centered around the religious ceremonies conducted annually in the Eleusinian temple in Athens. According to Aristotle, the mystery at Eleusis was something experienced rather than something learned. There were two rituals performed at Eleusis, the first was the "Lesser Mystery," in which the participants were given a libation of wine containing ergot & opium, and the "Greater Mystery," during which the initiates were given wine containing ergot, and experienced a collective vision of the Mother Goddess Persephone.

The dosage will probably vary quite a bit on whether the seeds are fresh. A few years back I tried several trips, starting around 150 seeds and worked my way up to maybe 500 seeds. I don’t think my seeds were fresh. I would guess 200 would be a good start, or if someone is already comfortable with tripping, then maybe start around 350-400 seeds. Let’s see if anyone has a different opinion....
Depending on seed quality, you should get some weak to decent effects from 8 grams, like mild reality bending, marked enhancement of aesthetic perception, insights, weak open eye visuals, moderate but subtle closed eye visuals (especially with music). I find that more satisfactory results are achieved with more seeds, like 14 grams or more. This much is needed to enter truly psychedelic territory. I wouldn't recommend this much if you haven't tried lower doses with the same seeds and method, however. LSA can cause significant vasoconstriction, causing restricted blood circulation to extremities. Make sure that your toes don't get numb or tingly on 8 or so grams first. And don't mix with other vasoconstrictives, like ephedrine or caffeine.I usually just measure by Burpee bags. These are 1.8 grams each. I have used anything ranging from 3 to 12 of these. Strangely, the 12 bag trip was relatively weak. They must have been some old seeds. My strongest experience ever with MG seeds was with the Martha Stewart brand from K-Mart. I had strong effects, with good open eye visuals, on only 300 seeds! I used a water extraction with some added lemon juice.I had strong 4D lattice-like open eye visuals and warping and melting of furniture with only 400 seeds. There are about 32-36 seeds to a gram. The Martha Stewarts are more expensive than the Burpees. They are like $1.30 a bag or something close to that for a 1.2 gram bag. The Burpees are something like $0.88 a bag and each bag has 1.8 grams. That's $2.05 a gram for Martha Stewart seeds and $0.92 a gram for Burpee seeds. It seems to be a trade off.My favorite way to go about this is to first wash the whole seeds in a bowl with a little water and a very small amount of liquid handsoap. I slosh them around and rub them a bit in the soapy water (not too long--could reduce potency). I then rinse them good with cold water in one of those screen vegetable strainers.

Remove bags after squeezing most of the water from them into the glass. You can suck on the bags if you want to get more stuff. I don't generally do this. Discard bags. Drink water. Get yourself into the mood with some good music and wait for effects. You might want to take a little ginger if you are worried about nausea. Usually I don't get any, but sometimes there is a little, probably partly from pre-trip anticipation anxiety.

Dammit man I have to go to work! I have things to say, especially in regards to the "Shaman" as I had a similar experience on Mushrooms one time that was so real it could not have been just imagination. More later for sure. Itbebasidia, I can't wait to read your trip report.
EDIT: The Shaman/teacher who came to me with the mushrooms seemed more native American. His face was draped in a cape of furs, and he just suddenly appeared in the midst of my fractal world, front and center of my minds eye. He was made up of all the animals, and as he stood there seemingly glaring at me, they took turns coming to the front of his abdomen to look at me, Jaguar, Wolf, Coyote, Rattlesnake, Iguana, churning out of him as if in judgement of me. He told me that others would try to trick me, and he showed me his medicine bag. He said I will know him by his medicine bag as he showed me what was in it, and never to listen to the false teachers.
That memory came to me so strong with the mention of the Aztec Shaman sitting on the throne of animals. I am so very much looking forward to this experience. I feel like a little kid at Christmas time. lol

I read the whole first half of the first link. I take it nobody is doing the cooking sherry extraction in this writing? Doing the water extraction sounds like a bad deal all the way around, even if you do get past the ingestion part. One of those P&L statement kinda things that comes up a bit heavy on the loss side. I don't think I will be doing any water extracting with these lol. Looking forward to reading more tomorrow.
BTW, I am 30 pages or so into the Immortality Key book. Enjoyed the forward by Graham Hancock, got a long way to go on the rest.

After drinking the liquid, I made a fire and waited about an hour and a half and was feeling a cranky stomach as well as light effects like enhanced senses and giddiness. I went back inside to the container with the strained seed pulp and poured some water in and let it sit for 5 minutes then drank. I then took a pinch of the seed pulp, chewed and put it under my lip as if it was chewing tobacco.
About 30 minutes after that, it hit hard. I was in my bedroom with the lights off listening to music when all of a sudden I felt very light. I looked at my hands and moved them side to side and saw brilliant colored paisley tracers in their wake. That was the first I've experienced tracers. Music was an adventure as well. When I closed my eyes, I saw beautiful organic swirls, lattice like structures, faces, and shapes full of color going with the music. I opened my eyes and they remained if I wanted. I felt a omniscient divine presence the whole time. Every edge and outline of me and the world around me had a vibrant energy flow. My mind body connection was powerful. My mind environment connection just the same.
From onset til back to baseline was about 8 hours. On the come down my ab and glute muscles kept contracting as if they were working themselves out. I had excellent sleep and a nice after glow the next day. It felt as if I'd been optimized. Sorry it took long to get back to the thread, I needed a day to soak it all in.
I will be starting a winter grow of 'flying saucers' and 'Heavenly Blue'.

Glad to know you had a good time. Sounds like some cramping issues - that would explain the stomach and (afterward) the legs.
Hard to know where that came from as you also used some of the pulp itself.
I've heard of much more harsh experiences from users who have just chewed the seeds and then held them as a quid - like chewing snuff. The reports all agree that they felt nausea and cramping for about an hour before finally vomiting and then the experience set in much as you've described. No user reported that they would be interested in a second experience due to the lingering effects of discomfort throughout the journey. It sounds like you came out OK despite using some of the non filtered material.
So while listening to music were you calm (as in relaxed)? Tense (like with a cup of espresso)?
I'm keenly interested.

I had this odd stimulated and sedated at the same time sensation when it started. Depending on the song playing, I'd be very energetic and dancing about for upbeat stuff and I'd lay down with a stony pull for introspective/somber tunes. There was a point I felt light as a feather and I was twirling around moving my hands and body about with a deliberate grace I've never felt before.
I eventually got tired and fell asleep while still tripping which was also a first. With fungi, I can't fall asleep until it's fully done. All in all, I'd say there was an energetic and a relaxed aspect, but more of the journey was in a relaxed state.

Thank you so much for that careful analysis. Exactly what I was fishing for...........
My measure of a "good" psychadelic is my ability to sleep while still tripping. I prefer not to be wired and riding the journey at the same time - (i.e. unable to sleep or eat when tired or hungry) - and have surrounded myself with cultivars which suit my tastes. Looks like some morning glory vines will make the perfect addition to the patio garden this coming season.
I'm also curious about threshold experiences. Maybe this is a candidate for microdosing.
My ultimate plan is to make enough of this to share with friends. I think it would be fun to break out a bottle or two and let everyone at a gathering have a shot glass (or half of one) - to enhance the mood of the event. However, I'm not one of those to expose someone to an "acid test" without their express consent. Knowing more about the effects vs. dosage will be useful.
I also think of keeping a tray of ice-cubes in the freezer for (perhaps) daily or weekly low-dosing.
Very grateful for your feedback.

That's amazing that you also saw a Shaman teacher Coopdog, thanks for telling your story! The spirit animals you saw sound identical to the spirit animals the Shaman I saw had with him as well. Cool about the Shaman's medicine bag.
ItBeBasidia, thanks so much for your 403 seed trip report! I believe you used as solution: 1/3 c cabernet, 1 oz whiskey, 2oz lemon juice. Remarkable report!

Whatchamacallit (2006):
I have read that using an alcohol high in acetadehyde, like sherry converts the LSA to LSH which is supposed to a better trip, or more potent, or more stable. There would be alcohol and water and acetaldehyde, so it may be the best experience yet. Just let it soak in sherry for a few dayshaking often, maybe longer, if not in a hurry, then filter and drink it. Let us know how that works. I have heard from several respectable people that this works very well. Also keep the bottle away from light (maybe wrap in foil or use dark brown bottle), at all times and heat, etc.
The correct wording would be the wine is creating a "more stable solution of LSH, which is found naturally in the seeds". LSA cannot convert to LSH at the amide nitrogen on top, however, there is definitely adduction going on imho between the high levels of acetaldehyde (10mg per 1 shot glass or 30ml) in Sherry wine and the alkaloids in the seeds at the bottom NH position of the indole ring of the ergolines. See Norman's quote in post #22. See more on this from post #4 with studies linking aldehyde adduction to tryptophan analogues (yes, this includes our seed alkaloids). This leads to in my experience, greatly lowered anxiety, stronger visual trip, much more colorful than normal, neon colors very prominent. Compare the findings with ALD-52 discovered by Albert Hofmann with LSD for example, covered on post #4.
As promised, pics showing my normal extraction, no nausea as the cotton ball in a funnel gets out all the nauseating to the stomach and intestines debris, have used the cotton ball in a funnel for decades now, works on Ayahuasca, certain cactus & morning glory seeds for creating a nausea free to the stomach & intestines brew. Post #49 discusses how to use in 3 paragraphs.

Apparently N-(1-hydroxyethyl)lysergamide (LSH) is an adduct compound formed from lysergamide (lysergic acid amide, LSA/LAA, LA-111) and acetaldehyde. This hints towards the idea that isn't the most stable of compounds, but would be pretty easily formed by the combination of lysergamide (LSA) & acetaldehyde under physiological conditions (ie a way to get much more & better psychedelic activity from any lysergamide extracted from seed sources).
The hydroxyethylamide long thought to be psychoactive actually can never reach the brain, since this compound is a labile adduct of ergine and acetaldehyde.
This paper states that "LAH" was identified in blood and/or urine samples in two individuals who ingested the seeds. This is interesting because Peter Webster alleges that LAH will immediately decompose when in the body (Source; Edit -> Find -> hydroxyethylamide (first result)). This paper indicates that that's not true.Klinke HB, Müller IB, Steffenrud S and Dahl-Sørensen R, Two cases of lysergamide intoxication by ingestion of seeds from Hawaiin Baby Woodrose, Forensic Sci Int, 2010, 197(1-3), e1-5 | http://www.sciencedi...379073809004745
Seems this does do alot more, its alot more refined, clean, less body high all mind high.. i extracted 700 riveas into 100 ml of lemon juice , 50ml water .. that sat 9hrs in the fridge(water stayed the color of lemon juice but smelled like alkaloids) i filtered and added 100ml of sherry wine and that sat 6hours..
A buddy and i sampled 12ml of this and the effect is way different from just eating the seeds or just a simple water extract..
No body feelings AT ALL, not even the normal body buzz.. just a extreme lsd like head and abstract thoughts, better sense of understanding.... Real soon i am def going to try a large dose ..I Feel GreaT...I will no longer do it any other way.....my friend says the same.
Tregar you have probably rediscovered something that has long been a curiosity, for example on the now defunct blacklight site there was TLC posted of morning glory seed extract treated with methanol, acetaldehyde-methanol or with acetaldehyde-methanol-water, the extract treated with acetaldehyde-methanol showed a clear difference in the alkaloid profile, with a shift to several new non polar spots which couldn't be identified. IIRC Erhlichs was used to develop the plates so these were indole compounds.
