The visual and mental components of a typical LSA trip

LSA, although well known across the psychedelic community has a pretty bad reputation for making people feel incredibly nauseous to the point where I’ve seen many people say that LSA simply isn’t worth trying but it is completely possible to eradicate all of the nausea using what is in my opinion the simplest extraction technique there is. It’s literally just putting crushed seeds in cold water and then adding garlic a few hours later and sieving it out. That’s the whole extraction technique and it removes all of the nausea, it can be found in more detail right HERE.

Headspace:

the headspace of LSA is much more subtle than that of most psychedelics but it is definitely there and feels like relaxed yet alert thought patterns combined with a greatly increased ability to visualize concepts. This leads to one extremely vivid day dream after the other that play out in a style unlike any other psychedelic that I’ve found, these day dreams eventually become intense enough to envelop the entire trip.

Bodyhigh:

The LSA bodyhigh is one of a pleasurable tingling and is more commonly found on higher doses. This tingling sensation is also accompanied by spontaneous mini rushes of euphoria and these become longer and more drawn out proportionally to the amount of seeds consumed.

This bodyhigh is accompanied by a feeling of wakeful sedation which can be described as a dreamlike state, all sedated however it’s worth noting that you do no longer feel sedated the moment you try to stand up or do things just ever slightly off balance.

Visuals:

The visuals on LSA are well known for not being particularly impressive unless a heavy dose is consumed. They are definitely present but do not become very well defined unless at least a strong dose has been consumed and can be described as finer and more zoomed out than other traditional psychedelics but just as detailed. In comparison to LSD I would describe them as quite similar but far less digital and vectorized.

Scenarios:

Scenarios are the main all enveloping component of any moderate – strong LSA trip and are completely unique to this substance. The hallucinations, entity contact and general scenarios on all other psychedelics that I have tried stem from the imagery within the visuals eventually becoming intense and elaborate enough to form into full on three dimensional hallucinations but this is not the case with LSA. The hallucinations all seem to stem from a state of wandering vivid daydreams that get increasingly intense. These scenarios have a completely different feel to them and can be broken up into 3 different levels of intensity:

  1. Vivid daydreams – the first level is a state of wandering thoughts and extremely vivid daydreams, these are more felt than seen but felt in detail. An ability to visualize concepts and have them appear in your minds eye is present, these often appear as perfectly normal but other times they appear in elaborate psychedelic forms that are partially embedded within closed eye visuals and anything can be visualized be it people, places, objects, whatever.

  2. Murky breakthroughs - this second level is where things start to get really strange, during states of sedation trippers enter spontaneous breakthroughs into short elaborate scenarios. These scenarios can be anything but are often extremely nonsensical to the point that they are difficult to recall and translate into English but realistic enough to include sound and 3D hallucinations. These are just like intense versions of the dreamlike states experienced when on the verge of falling asleep.

  3. Defined hallucinations – finally on the third step these effects have become so intense that they become a full on psychedelic hallucinatory breakthrough similar to that of any visionary psychedlic. This can be described as the usual extremely intense psychedelic imagined landscapes, Entity contact, hallucinations and scenarios.

These scenarios at level 1 and 2 can be controlled simply by daydreaming in a way that I have not found on any other psychedelic making for a crazy sort of lucid dream / trip during these states of alert sedation. If practiced I am certain that the trip could be controlled almost entirely.

In Conclusion:

LSA goes just as deep as LSD, Mushrooms, Ayahuasca or any other psychedelic you just need to find the right dosage and extract it correctly.

Simple Nausea Free LSA Extraction Technique

DISCLAIMER: I do not encourage you to break the law or to do anything your mother would not approve of and this guide is purely for informational purposes only. You have been warned. I am not responsible for your actions.
 

Things needed:

  • Untreated Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds.
  • Garlic clove
  • Orange juice or any other preferred fruit juice 
  • A glass of boiled water.

How it’s done:

Step 1 
The water should be boiled and left to cool down to room temperature. There is no specific measurement of water needed as the LSA will extract into it regardless but I would recommend a small glass so that the final product can be 1 part water, 2 parts fruit juice.

Step 2
4 to 12 seeds should be crushed using a mortar and pestle or a hammer and then put into the water.

Step 3
The water should be then put into a fridge for at least 4 hours or more and covered in something such as tinfoil or a paper bag to avoid exposure to light when the fridge is opened.

Step 4
After the water has been refrigerated, a finely chopped up garlic clove should be added to the water for 30 minutes and stirred periodically to completely eliminate nausea and vomiting, this works because the sulphur in garlic eliminates all cyanogenic glycosides within the seed matter. These are the cause of discomfort not the LSA itself. 

Step 5
A small amount of fruit juice can be added to help eliminate the taste of the seed matter.

Step 6
Sieve out the seed matter and garlic and this can be discarded of. Sieving through a fine material such as an old tshirt or a paper filter to remove every last bit of seed matter will help greatly.

Step 7
If these steps have been followed correctly, the cold water extraction is ready to consume.


Dosage (by number of seeds) and Onset:

Threshold : 1 – 4 
Light : 3 – 6 
Common : 5 – 8 
Strong : 7 – 12 
Heavy : 12 + 

Onset : 20 – 60 minutes 
Duration : 4 – 8 hours
Normal After Effects : up to 12 hours 

Precautions:

This is a substance that at toxic doses can cause vasoconstriction meaning that your blood vessels shrink resulting in a decreased blood flow to your extremities likes toes and fingers, this is not much of a concern unless you are taking extreme doses and typically feels like a mild tingling sensation during most high dose trips and usually leaves before the peak hits you. This vasoconstriction can have a long term cumulative effects if repeated high doses of LSA are used for extended periods of time.

Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds must not be purchased unless sold as untreated, as typically seeds are coated with fungicides which can be toxic if consumed.

Different batches of seeds vary in potency so a low dose should be used to test the strength of the seeds before jumping right in. It’s from here that a person can work their way up.
