LSI, ancient LSD, secret of the Eleusis Kykeon and Vedic SOMA chapter 5 recipe.pdf 2.94MB 96 downloads


SOMA in ancient Vedic India was the careful combination of two plants:
the Rig-Veda speaks of "mixing the thick juice extracted from the soma plant with barley flour" (RV IX.68.4).
(RATSCH, 2005) On page 65 of the “The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants”, Christian Ratsch said “The baby Hawaiian wood rose is a possible candidate for the SOMA plant, which was described as a vine.”
(SHELLEY, 2018): Barley is the color of SOMA, and barley was mixed with SOMA.
(BAKELS, 2003) The Soviet archeologist Viktor Sarianidi wrote that he had discovered vessels and mortars used to prepare soma in Zoroastrian temples in the Bactria–Margiana Archaeological Complex. He said that the vessels have revealed residues and seed impressions (most likely from HBWR seeds) left behind during the preparation of soma.

I also used vessels, mortars and pestles in Chapter 5 to prepare a combo of LSI + LSV + LSCr from the extract of HBWR seeds combined with the young barley grass cereal grain. SOMA is a Vedic Sanskrit word that literally means “distill, extract, sprinkle”, often connected in the context of rituals. The word "kykeon" means to stir. I do both, I extract the seeds and then I stir the extract from the seeds with barley just as the ancient peoples did to form LSI. This is very reminiscent of Ayahuasca preparation made from two plants.

This is the alpha hydroxy isovaleraldeyde adduct condensed onto LSA on left.

For reference, the structures of lysergic acid (R)-α-hydroxyisovaleramide (left, the hypothetical adduct) and lysergic acid isovaleramide (right) are above.

3 simple steps:

I am a life long bodybuilder: https://anabolicminds.com/community...1-equivalent-to-4-3iu-pharm-grade-hgh.329132/

I will link to Dr. Nichols paper when he publishes in the future. He told me he will reference my book in his future paper.

BL thread here: https://www.bluelight.org/community...-of-the-eleusis-kykeon-and-vedic-soma.950819/

Dr Nichols older paper here: https://www.heffter.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/chap6.pdf see table 3 on page 84.

My discovery and Dr. Nichol's discovery are both extremely similar:

1) This aldehyde: isovaleraldehyde discovery that works has 5 carbon groups and 11 hydrogen just like 3-aminopentane which was found by Dr. Nichols to have activity very similar to LSD in the rat assays, as the rats reacted to it as if they had been given LSD. Anything beyond this, like cinnamaldehyde with a very high molecular weight has way too many carbons and hydrogens (almost double) and will result in weak effects, as it does not fit into the receptor.

2) The important thing to note from the Dr. Nichol's table, in the far right column, is the fact that LSD has a potency in rats in the drug discrimination behavioral assay of 48 nanomoles per kilogram of rat body weight. Only two other compounds have comparable activity: entries 6 and 16. Entry 16 is 3-aminopentane, and has a potency in rats in the drug discrimination behavioral assay of 52 nanomoles per kilogram of rat body weight.

3) Isovaleraldehyde looks identical to the tail end of DMT and psilocin once it condenses onto the amide (NH) of LSA with the exact same number of carbons and hydrogens with the same chemical formula of CHO CH2 CH2 2(CH3) minus the nitrogen as that is already attached to the ergoline.

4) BOTH have exact same molecular weights of 87 similar to diethylamine molecular weight of LSD at 73g/mol.

Anybody with a visual chemical mind can see that isovaleraldehyde looks similar to the tail end of DMT and serotonin. Serotonin and DMT share an identical core of an indole ring and 2 carbon ethylamine chains (tail end), but they differ at the terminal nitrogen and the ring's hydroxyl placement.

For both isovaleraldehyde and DMT, the tail ethylamine chain: extends off the same position of the indole ring of dmt or seotonin or ergoline structure of LSI, both molecules feature a --CH2 --CH2 -- chain attached to nitrogen atom with dmt and serotonin, while the nitrogen resides on the ergoline LSA. This shared tail allows DMT and the isovaleraldeyde chain of the ergoline LSI to mimic serotonin and bind to the body's serotonin receptors.

Aldehydes are attracted to the NH amide of LSA like a magnet. The condensation product of the aldehyde onto the amide of LSA remains stable in acidic solutions such as my recipe. Chapter 4 explains in more detail how this all works, citing 4 different scientific papers to back up my work. See Austin & Conrat 1992 paper further below, in-vivo condensation products form in the liver from tryptophans (such as our LSA) and aldehydes alone. Ergolines require no alcohol for the condensation product to form in liver, just the aldehyde alone.

The 1992 study by Austin and colleagues (published via PubMed Central) investigated how acetaldehyde and other aldehydes react with tryptophan analogues and indole derivatives. [1]
It demonstrated that certain substituted indoles can form condensation adducts via a direct reaction with aldehydes in aqueous and mildly acidic conditions, without requiring alcohol as a coreactant. [1] https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC49935/

From page 7 of Sacred psychedelic recipe:

Eleusis Kykeon theoretical simulation Materials list:
1) 25 HBWR seeds, .04mg LSA per seed, see end of chapter on where to find seeds for garden growing. (400 seeds around $45 or grow your own)
2) 0.001g scale ($18)
3) One oversized shot glass for the spinning of the seed dust, and one regular shot glass for the fridge, and an eight ounce half pint tall canning jar 4" tall x 2.75" wide. ($5)
4) magnetic stirrer with 3/8" x 1" long stir bar that can spin easily and fast inside the shot glass or canning jar. ($19)
5) everclear (95% grain alcohol or similar high proof alcohol) ($25)
6) coffee grinder ($21)
7) mortar and pestle ($14)
8) long pyrex brownie dish (9" wide x 15" long) ($5)
9) 2 razor blades ($1)
10) a fan, and a hair dryer to use for last 5 minutes of water evaporation from the pyrex dish (optional)
11) 3 grams of the “secret herbal substance” Aojiru 100% Japan domestic grown young barley grass powder very high in isovaleraldehyde, valeraldehyde & crotonaldehyde that comes finely powdered in a nitrogen sealed package, green in color, 46 packs to a box. ($29)
12) distilled or spring water
13) you must use tartaric acid powder ONLY, used in wine making and baking available worldwide. I give amounts of tartaric acid powder to use, 30mg in beginning 100 and 10mg later at very last end spinning step. Tartaric acid participates in hydrogen bonding to LSA and is an important chemical catalyst in the aldehyde condensation. Tartaric acid is $8.

Adding up all the costs, it is around $185 I paid in experiment materials, this sacred brew has worked 100% each and every time for 22 times over a 1.8 year period used once a month. It's an initial small investment, but then you realize you can have an unlimited amount of psychedelic trips for the rest of your life, 400 seeds = 40 seed dose (just like 550 mescaline or 160ug LSD) divided by 400 is 10 trips alone! Once you buy the materials, you only have to spend or grow seeds for rest of life. IMHO, best psychedelic on the planet with zero nausea, zero side effects, just pure psychedelic bliss for 8 to 10 hours, just like a combo of anxiety free version of LSD (ALD-52) along with mescaline at same time, that's what each divine out of this world trip is like. We have confirmation this works from Quantamide from Canada as well, see mycotopia link on 1st post or download chapter 5. I have taken the 2oz brew x 22 times now (once a month) over a 1.8 year period, absolutely incredible bad ass trip every time.

40 seeds converted felt identical to 550mg mescaline, out of this world neon colors all night, diamond-like shimmering of all visuals, extreme euphoria, hours and hours of way beyond 8k closed eye colored visions, infinite music enhancement, a pleasant stimulation all the way from 3pm when drank till midnight when fell asleep. Intense healing and profound spiritual insights, extreme shifting of colors and textures, powerful tracers, far better than LSD, no choppiness to the visuals but rather the visuals are flowing, magical open eye visuals, swimming in euphoria & visions all night. Same exact power as 160ug LSD. Even when brew was drunk at 3pm, still seeing closed eye geometrics & detailed supernatural visions at 11pm. I have used a 40 seed dose converted x 22 times total over a 1.8 year period (once a month). If unsure what kind of seeds you have, always start low (5 seeds) used in the recipe and work your way up, there will be no side effects if using real genuine seeds. Many years ago I started with just 5 genuine seeds in recipe and noticed trip felt like 20ug of LSD and no side effects, then advanced to 10 seeds which felt like 40ug LSD..again no side effects...then went to 25 genuine seeds 136 which felt just like 100ug LSD, but felt much more like a combination of ALD-52 (anxiety free version of LSD) and mescaline at same time, noting again: zero side effects. Then went up to 40 seeds, then 45 seeds converted, absolutely incredible, my all time favorite psychedelic...and still zero side effects even at 45 seeds converted to LSI 2oz brew. The brew can even be frozen after being made, and drunk weeks or months later after defrosting in the fridge, drinking cold, infinitely bad ass.

Chapter 5 hints where to find the real genuine Argyreia Nervosa seeds not for consumption but proven the real genuine ones direct from Hawaii for growing ornamental beauty in your garden (take inside in case of frost/freezing, once they reach 12" they start to grow fast, they need a large bucket for the root system or they will not flower and produce seeds when mature after 2 to 5 years). Just know the market is flooded with fake seeds, real genuine seeds are hard to find these days. Many even unknowingly distribute the fake seeds and don't even know it. Some in Hawaii are growing the fake seeds and don't even realize it. The place mentioned has the real genuine black and brown slightly triangular seeds with dimples (grown in rich Hawaiian soil) for growing. The fake Argyreia Speciosa seeds did not exist before 1998, but have flooded the world markets since then. Do not use the fake seeds as they result in side effects like sedation, cramping, etc as they are high in ergonovine, Wikipedia ergonovine (another name for ergometrine) to learn of its side effects. The genuine seeds contain 83% LSA and only 17% ergonovine (.04mg LSA per seed) while the fake look alike seeds contain very high levels of ergonovine but are very low on LSA.

Arcamone 1961 proved that LSA (Lysergic Acid Amide) when stirred with fermented liquor, forms stable LSH (Lysergic Acid Hydroxyethylamide). Reference the 1961 Arcamone work showing "LSH formation from Claviceps paspali LSA in fermented liquor," providing the foundational evidence for LSA-aldehyde adduct chemistry:

Arcamone F, Bonino C, Chain EB, Ferretti A, Pennella P, Tonolo A, Vero L (July 1960). "Production of lysergic acid derivatives by a strain of Claviceps paspali Stevens and Hall in submerged culture". Nature. 187 (4733): 238–239. Bibcode:1960Natur.187..238A. doi:10.1038/187238a0. PMID 13794048.

I use the exact same principle, except I stir easily extracted LSA from the seeds (only takes 45 minutes) with the aldehyde: isovaleraldehyde contained in the 3g nitrogen sealed barley pack (this aldehyde in high amounts) called Japanese Aojiru young barley to form Lysergic Acid Isovaleraldamide or LSI, it's a simple adduct condensation reaction with stirring at low ph, the isovaleraldehyde forms an adduct with LSA to form LSI. Aldehydes are attracted to the NH amide of LSA like a magnet, where it binds with the Hydrogen atom off the amide NH.This condensation reaction also occurs in vivo in the liver, as condensation reactions are very common in the liver, where she reaches the brain from the liver. I use a dash of tartaric acid as an important chemical catalyst that speeds up the reaction, stirring only takes 10 minutes.

In vivo condensation adduct reactions proven to happen in liver with tryptophan adducts (just like our LSA) and aldehydes (just like our isovaleraldehyde). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC49935/ see below: Since LSA is an ergoline, according to paper, no alcohol is needed for it to bind to the aldehyde, just the combination of the two in the liver (with aldehydes alone, no alcohol needed).
Tryptophan analogues form adducts by cooperative reaction with aldehydes and alcohols or with aldehydes alone: possible role in ethanol toxicity.
J E Austin 1, H Fraenkel-Conrat 1 Proc Natl Acad Sci U S. 1992 Sep 15;89(18):8439–8442. doi: 10.1073/pnas.89.18.8439

My 3 step process from genuine HBWR seeds to LSA extract is a labor and harm reduction modern process that uses only 95% grain alcohol or everclear as the sole liquid chemical, 2 more steps turns the LSA into LShI (easy as Ayahuasca prep) you can stop at LSA extract step, or keep going by all means to LShI, 1 hour extraction with most time waiting 10 minutes between the 2 stirring steps and 35 minutes during evaporation step.

Notice similarity of LShI to LSIp on page 71: https://www.researchgate.net/public...1YmxpY2F0aW9uIiwicGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uIn19 download pdf to view. "Lysergamides revisited", Feb 1994, NIDA research monograph 146:52-73, source PubMed.

I am not the first to use these doses of genuine HBWR seeds, here is Kash's extraction, notice how he experienced sedation and no visuals with just plain LSA, but once he mixed the LSA for 10 minutes with peppermint, he achieved visuals with fractal rainbows in the air, music enhancement....I was the first person to report on the peppermint effect over 20 years ago on the Lycaeum forum and it took off like wildfire, fast forward to 2026: young barley grass (my discovery) contains x 100 times the levels of isovaleraldehyde as peppermint: 1-s2.0-S2212429222000074-main-2 (36).pdf 3.29MB 32 downloads

My simple genuine HBWR seed extraction is easier and faster than Kash's extraction and uses no exotic chemicals other than 95% grain alcohol from the liquor store.

Kash's Advanced LSA Extraction - LSD, LSA, LSH - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

Kash said in the thread:
Just took a 40 HBWR seed portion of LSA extract that was mixed for 15 minutes with peppermint oil yesterday and tripped his face off with a friend. Was very clean feeling and relaxed. Rainbows and vibrant fractal energy danced all over the skies and throughout his surroundings and music sounded great. The head-space was very acid like but different. Was a bit intense but he was able to keep it together lol. Whole trip was about 8 hrs long. I have tried a 20 seed extract without peppermint oil and it seemed uncomfortable and sedating with no visuals, while every time he has added peppermint oil he has gotten visuals.

Dr Nichols has been in communication with me since October 2025, here is his latest email to me 3 weeks ago: https://ibb.co/Y4ysqcW7
Dr. David E Nichols said:
Matt,
We are undergoing some reorganization, but the synthesis of that molecule will be done soon. The grad student who completed his PhD last week will be working for us soon, and that will be one of the first compounds he makes.
I’m not sure I saw quantamides recreation. I typically get as many as 800 emails each day (I have 601 sitting in my junk folder right now) so it may have gone into the trash because I don’t have enough time to read them all.
Dave

Here is one of his 2025 emails to me: https://ibb.co/x82rHX57
Dr. David E Nichols said:
Matt,
Thanks for the reply! So, do I understand that LSI is actually the amide of 3-methyl-1-aminobutane? That essentially, lysergamide condenses in the liver with isovaleraldehyde? Are you referring to the 1992 paper by Austin in PNAS Tryptophan analogues form adducts by cooperative reaction with aldehydes and alcohols or with aldehydes alone: possible role in ethanol toxicity?
That is very intriguing.
David

1) The 2 stirring steps illustrated in Chapter 5 can be reduced from 20 minutes, to only 10 minutes each. It shortens the overall procedure time nearly in half.

2) and that DL tartaric acid powder or just "plain TARTARIC acid powder used in wine making available worldwide" (not citric acid) should be the only acid powder used that the author used over 5 years ago during the Eleusis kykeon and Vedic SOMA highly successful experiments, so it is very helpful to read about the progression of theoretical simulation steps updated later. Citric acid does not work, only tartaric acid powder works (available worldwide), as described in book.

Again, process only worked extremely well every time when using tartaric acid powder ONLY, not citric acid. It does not have to be DL tartaric acid but can be just plain tartaric acid powder used in wine making, available worldwide.

Illustrated is how the LSA from 25 HBWR seeds LSA converted to LSI felt exactly like 100ug LSD, and how 40 HBWR seeds LSA converted to LSI felt exactly like 170ug LSD or 550mg mescaline. The experience is noted as being even better than LSD imho as LSI incorporates an extra carbon molecule which makes it much more like mescaline than LSD, even more euphoric, colorful, and music enhancing than LSD.

1) The experience lasts 8 strong anxiety free hours with a 10 hour duration
2) There is a pleasant stimulation all night long into the wee hours of the morning, just like ALD-52 or mescaline exerts
3) The strength becomes stronger and stronger until she reaches a peak 3.5 hours in
4) There are profound Spiritual revelations, insights and intense healing, she is a feminine teaching spirit.
5) A brilliant diamond like shimmering of all visuals, infinitely fascinating
6) Tracers with open eyes as powerful as lightning strikes, none of the choppiness of LSD visuals, rather the visuals are flowing.
7) Intense, bold neon-like colors are seen all night, just like a combo of ALD-52 + mescaline, far, far more colorful than LSD. I have seen neon colors like purple-yellows, red-greens, and orange-blues that don't belong on this earth
8) Infinite way over the top euphoria felt all night (just like a combo of ALD-52 + mescaline). Anyone who has ever had cactus understands the mescaline euphoria I am talking about.
9) The beauty seen with open eyes is infinite and divine, no words to describe. This was one of the main reasons I took this psychedelic, the enhancement of beauty is just so over the top, extreme and heavenly.
10) The closed eye-colored geometrics seen which progress to real visions the longer the eyes are kept closed are just like what you see on a combination of LSD + mescaline, hundreds and hundreds of way beyond 4k visions many of them playing as if in a movie.
11) The music enhancement is just incredible and heavenly. I've felt more with this LSI, LSV and LSCr combo than with any traditional psychedelic except for mescaline that I was an extraterrestrial being, immersing myself in new sensory phenomena for the first time. Where LSD heightens and clarifies the sense of hearing, this Eleusis kykeon brew simulation produces auditory hallucinations, heightening the hearing sense but also causing sounds to be quite different than normal. I am a music lover and always listened to house music most of the night during the experiences, as on LSI, LSV & LSCr combo, every instrument and beautiful voice stands out on its own, every song is "epic". Like hearing a song for the very first time.
12) As for aphrodisiacal use of LSI, LSV & LSCr combo, wow! it brought energies out of me that I never knew I had.
13) There is zero or no anxiety with this potent 3 psychedelic combo, just like with ALD-52. This would explain why there were no bad trips reported in the Eleusis Kykeon literature.
14) There are no physical side effects: no body load, no nausea, no vasoconstriction, no cramping, just pure psychedelic bliss.
15) The next morning (I would typically get 6 hours sleep after the experience) I felt re-born with a massive serotonin "reset". I would go walking in nature with my shih tzus the following morning and all of nature looked as if brand new with a curiosity of nature's divinity.

Note: Morning glory seeds did not work, only HBWR seeds worked to simulate the kykeon and Vedic SOMA in the experiments in the book ages ago...my results with up to 150 morning glory seeds were extremely disappointing (even below threshold effects), I believe the mg seeds are mainly 75% clavine alkaloids with less than 25% LSA, the levels of LSA in mg seeds being probably around .001mg per seed vs HBWR seeds at .04mg per seed. The morning glory seeds resulted in zero entheogenic effects, no euphoria, no stimulation, no visuals, and even no physical symptoms like dilated pupils.

Eleusis Kykeon and Vedic SOMA theoretical simulation Materials list:

1) 25 HBWR seeds, approximately .04mg LSA per seed.
2) 0.001g scale
3) One oversized shot glass for the spinning of the seed dust, and one regular shot glass for the fridge, and a 6 ounce half pint tall canning jar 4" tall x 2.75" wide.
4) magnetic stirrer with 3/8" x 1" long stir bar that can spin easily and fast inside the shot glass or canning jar.
5) everclear (95% grain alcohol or similar high proof alcohol)
6) coffee grinder
7) mortar and pestal
8) long pyrex brownie dish (9" wide x 15" long)
9) 2 razor blades
10) a fan, and a hair dryer to use for last 5 minutes of water evaporation from the pyrex dish (optional)
11) 3 grams of the secret herbal substance very high in isovaleraldehyde, valeraldehyde & crotonaldehyde.
12) distilled or spring water
13) For the chapter 5 three super simple steps with sketch illustrations: DL tartaric acid powder can be used or plain tartaric acid used in wine making (available worldwide). I give amounts of DL tartaric acid or PLAIN TARTARIC ACID powder to use, 30mg in beginning, and 10mg on last step. The 2 stirring steps can be condensed down from 20 minutes each, down to 10 minutes each, shortening the overall procedure time.

--> The few easy steps from Chapter 5 are in the book, drawn as black and white sketches, most of the time is spent waiting 10 minutes between the 3 basic steps. <-- LSI is forming internally (in vivo) in the liver, this is all explained in book. A new home made TLC performed (1.24.26) even shows LSI (new indole product) forming externally with stirring in water acidified to ph=4 for at least 10 minutes. I compared before and after home made TLC of LSA extract (before) with LSI + LSV + LSCr extract combo (after stirring). So this can form not only externally with stirring, but in the liver as well.

Propionaldehyde = 2.18
Isobutyraldehyde = 1.41
Butyraldehyde = 0.69
2-methylbutyraldehyde = 2.28
→ Isovaleraldehyde or Butanal = 7.52 (converts LSA to LSI)
Hexanal = 3.73
Trans-2-hexenal = 1.60
Trans-2,4-heptadienal = 1.17
Benzaldehyde = 1.12
2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde .3
→ Valeraldehyde = 13.40 (converts LSA to LSV)
→ Crotonaldehyde or 2-Butenal = 7.63 (converts LSA to LSCr)
2-hexenal = 1.39
That data from the pdf you cited is all mass spec peaks. These just indicate that they are detectable by mass spec, and not that they are present in amounts sufficient to be stoichiometric to LSA.

This is the label on table 4 which you have copied. This is not a quantitative measurement.
Volatile compounds of BG identified by SPME-GC-MS during four different growth stages (peak area, %).

Here is the text on the section regarding to volatile analysis. They mention finding decomethylcyclopentasiloxane in the barley at higher levels than any aldehyde. The presence of siloxanes comes from silicon grease contamination in the GCMS run (and the fact that it was not recognized as such is troubling), and really throws doubt on claims that these compounds are present at levels beyond the parts per million range (or even parts per billion, as they mention benzaldehyde affecting the aroma, which is detectable at 42 parts per billion, or 42 nanograms/gram).

3.4. Effect of harvest time on the volatile compounds of BG

In this work, SPME-GC/MS technique was used in detecting the volatile compounds of the BG harvested at the four growth stages. The obtained results are summarized in Table 3. On the whole, 29 volatile compounds, involving aldehydes, hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids, esters, furans, and ketones, were identified. The types and contents of the volatile compounds significantly varied with stage (P < 0.05). Hydrocarbons and aldehydes were the main components, followed by alcohols, acids, esters, ketones, and furans. As listed in Table 3, a Z29 sample collected at the tillering stage showed the highest relative content of hydrocarbons, followed by Z31, Z28, Z32, Z58, Z23, Z12, and Z21.
Pentane and decomethylcyclopentasiloxane were the main compounds. A Z21 sample collected at the seedling stage showed the highest relative content of aldehydes, followed by Z23, Z12, Z32, Z58, Z28, Z31 and Z29, and propionaldehyde, isovaleraldehyde, hexanal, and 2-butenal were the primary compounds. Interestingly, the presence of aldehydes, such as trans-2-hexenal and benzaldehyde, endowed the BG with a fresh vanilla
flavor. The production of these aldehydes, such as hexanal, may be related with the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the BG by lipoxygenase and catalase (Cramer et al., 2005). Dong et al. (2013) reported that the polyunsaturated fatty acids in barley, such as linolenic acid and eicosenoic acid, which make up approximately 60% of the fatty
acids, caused lipid oxidation and produced large amounts of aldehydes. As can be seen in Table 3, the relative contents of alcohols decreased from the seedling stage to the heading stage, and the major alcohol compounds in the BG were ethanol and 1-pentene-3-alcohol. The acids in the BG showed the same trend as the alcohols, and acetic acid was the
main compound. In addition, ethyl acetate, 2-ethyl furan, and acetone were detected in the BG. The present results are different from the data of Cramer et al. (2005), who detected 26 kinds of volatile compounds in barley cultivars and showed that the major volatile compounds were hexenal and 1-pentanol.

More details: Everclear is 95% ethanol, so there is ZERO nausea once the 30ml everclear is evaporated from the brownie dish, and the LSA extract scraped up, this is all done in 3 simple steps from seeds to LSI. I have never ever experienced any nausea or any side effects whatsoever in any of my 7 highly successful experiments.

More info here, (the nausea causing seed mush is left behind at bottom of shot glass and thrown away, so there is zero nausea): please read entire thread: https://www.shaman-australis.com/fo...e-steps-a-more-euphoric-colorful-musical-lsd/ see post #1 on how nausea is 100% eliminated.

Yes, tartaric acid should be the only acid used (not citric acid) as we found out recently it participates in hydrogen bonding and is an important catalyst for the reaction that takes place during the two 10 minute stirring steps. As a matter of fact, I updated the book and ALL forums to reflect this very important update. The only error in the book is that I assumed citric acid could take the place of tartaric acid, so I wrote that it could possibly substitute, but again citric acid does not work. I used DL tartaric acid for all 7 very successful experiments, my all time favorite psychedelic, 40 seeds converted to LSI just as bad ass and exactly like 550mg heavenly mescaline, equivalent to 170ug LSD.

Plain tartaric acid (used in baking and wine making available worldwide) substitutes just fine for the DL tartaric acid I used in all my experiments in book and beyond, as I learned recently self experiment, absolutely no difference.

Ask google in AI, response is:
Yes, DL-tartaric acid can interact with and bind to the NH group of indole, particularly through hydrogen bonding [4.4, 4.6].
  • Interaction Mechanism: Tartaric acid acts as a hydrogen-bond donor (via its hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups), while the indole NH acts as a hydrogen-bond donor itself, or more commonly, the interaction is mediated through the acidic, polar, and hydrogen-bonding environment created by the tartaric acid, often forming stable complexes [4.4, 4.6].
Plain tartaric acid used in baking and wine making (available worldwide) thankfully is the D-isomer dextrorotary form of tartaric acid (found in high amounts in grapes), it is dextrorotary (reflects light to the right) just like D-LSD (the only form of LSD that works), as the L-isomer reflects light to the left and is inactive.

Chemical formula for tartaric acid is C4 H6 06, and according to AI it can indeed bond to the NH amide of LSA in acidic environments with stirring. Notice acetaldehyde has the formula of C2 H5 O which binds to the NH amide of LSA to form the psychedelic LSH or Lysergic Acid Hydroxyethylamide (see the molecular picture of LSH I posted in green color here):

TARTARIC ACID has many more carbons and hydrogens and oxygen molecules than acetaldehyde, perhaps explaining the incredible potency of my Kykeon and Vedic SOMA 2oz brew, this raises many questions and is actively being investigated. Recall mescaline has many oxygen molecules, perhaps explaining why my 40 HBWR seed converted to 2oz kykeon and SOMA brew feels identical to me as 550mg of the Heavenly mescaline, much more euphoric, colorful, and music enhancing than LSD.

Ask google in AI, response is:
  • Dextrorotatory (+): This natural form of tartaric acid is indeed dextrorotatory, meaning it rotates plane-polarized light to the right.
-->over 5 years ago during the theoretical experiments, I started out with just 5 seeds converted to LSI + LSV + LSCr and noticed it felt about like 20ug LSD, then I went up to 25 seeds which felt like (25 x .04mg per seed) = 100ug LSD, then I moved up to 30 seeds which felt exactly like (30 x .04mg LSA per seed ) = 120ug LSD, then I moved up to 40 seeds (40 x .04mg LSA per seed) = 160ug LSD <--

As you can see, I started out low as cautionary approach with this new discovery over 5 years ago.

Tartaric acid is found in very high amounts in grapes. I read once the kykeon when drunk left a purple stain on beard and gown of priest drinking it...so this could explain if grapes were used in kykeon to provide the high levels of tartaric acid mixed with the LSA from the non toxic claviceps paspali that infects paspalum grass that grows adjacent to Eleusis in the famous Rarian plain then bingo: tartaric acid could indeed be bonding to the NH amide of LSA, explaining the incredible psychedelic potency of my 2oz brew.

VERY IMPORTANT: beware fake HBWR seeds.


The main difference between varieties is that the speciosa variety is used medicinally in ayurvedic medicine and the nervosa strain has high LSA alkaloid content. It makes little difference where the strains are grown, but most seed originating from India and Africa is of the speciosa variety and thus low in LSA. Do not use seeds from India, very low on LSA.

LOW LSA seeds will not work, just like morning glory seeds will not work as they have only 25% lsa and 75% clavine alkaloids.

Only authentic Authentic Argyreia Nervosa works as they are .04mg LSA per seed. They are black and brown in color and slightly triangular in shape, see last post for pic:


I use only authentic Argyreia Nervosa from Hawaii, A+ organic hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, I get 400 seeds per order, and have hid away literally thousands of the seeds, as the conversion of 40 seeds to LSI is exactly like 550mg of the heavenly mescaline. My all time favorite psychedelic. Zero side effects, zero vasoconstriction, zero sedation, zero nausea when my easy 3 step procedure is followed.

Tartaric acid used in wine making and baking available worldwide (30mg on 1st stirring step) and 10mg on 2nd or last stirring step works perfectly, no difference from DL tartaric acid. I tripped my ass off on 40 seeds converted last sunday to LSI using plain tartaric acid I bought for $8 on line used in wine making, took only 55 minutes to prepare as illustrations show. Only two 10 minute stirring steps, and 35 minutes waiting during evaporation step. Most of time is spent waiting between the 3 simple steps.

Felt identical to 550mg mescaline, out of this world neon colors all night, extreme euphoria, hours of way beyond 4k closed eye colored visions, infinite music enhancement, a pleasant stimulation all the way from 3pm when drank till midnight when I fell asleep. Intense healing and profound spiritual insights, profound shifting of colors and textures, powerful tracers, far better than LSD imho, no choppiness to the visuals but rather the visuals are flowing, magical open eye visuals, swimming in euphoria all night.Same exact power as 160ug LSD.

When you performed these experiments, why didn’t you go above the equivalent of 160ug of LSD?
I did not feel the need to exceed the equivalent dosage of 160ug LSD (subsequent experiments) as I found the resulting psychedelic experiences to go above and beyond anything I could have ever hoped for. I give a trip report after each experiment forming a combo of LSI, LSV and LSCr.

1) The experience lasts 8 strong anxiety free hours with a 10 hour duration. I have experienced x 9 times now, each profoundly psychedelic trip spaced apart by 1 month. Just as powerful as LSD but even beyond LSD, like a combination of ALD-52 (anxiety free version of LSD also discovered by Dr. Hofmann) & mescaline combined.
2) There is a pleasant stimulation all night long, just like ALD-52 or mescaline exerts, when taken at 3pm, I was always able to fall asleep by midnight, much easier to fall asleep after than LSD.
3) The strength becomes stronger and stronger until she reaches a peak 3.5 hours in
4) There are profound Spiritual revelations, insights and intense healing, she is a feminine teaching spirit.
5) A brilliant diamond like shimmering of all visuals, infinitely fascinating
6) Tracers with open eyes as powerful as lightning strikes, none of the choppiness of LSD visuals, rather the visuals are flowing.
7) Intense, bold neon-like colors are seen all night, just like a combo of ALD-52 + mescaline, far, far more colorful than LSD. I have seen neon colors like purple-yellows, red-greens, and orange-blues that don't belong on this earth
8) Infinite way over the top euphoria felt all night (just like a combo of ALD-52 + mescaline). Anyone who has ever had cactus understands the mescaline euphoria I am talking about.
9) The beauty seen with open eyes is infinite and divine, no words to describe. This was one of the main reasons I took this psychedelic, the enhancement of beauty is just so over the top, extreme and heavenly.
10) The closed eye-colored geometrics seen which progress to real visions the longer the eyes are kept closed are just like what you see on a combination of LSD + mescaline, hundreds and hundreds of way beyond 4k visions many of them playing as if in a movie.
11) The music enhancement is just incredible and heavenly. I've felt more with this LSI, LSV and LSCr combo than with any traditional psychedelic except for mescaline that I was an extraterrestrial being, immersing myself in new sensory phenomena for the first time. Where LSD heightens and clarifies the sense of hearing, this Eleusis kykeon brew simulation produces auditory hallucinations, heightening the hearing sense but also causing sounds to be quite different than normal. I am a music lover and always listened to house music most of the night during the experiences, as on LSI, LSV & LSCr combo, every instrument and beautiful voice stands out on its own, every song is "epic". Like hearing a song for the very first time.
12) As for aphrodisiacal use of LSI, LSV & LSCr combo, wow! it brought energies out of me that I never knew I had.
13) There is zero or no anxiety with this potent 3 psychedelic combo, just like with ALD-52. This would explain why there were no bad trips reported in the Eleusis Kykeon literature.
14) There are no physical side effects: no body load, no nausea, no vasoconstriction, no cramping, just pure psychedelic bliss.
15) The next morning (I would typically get 6 hours sleep after the experience) I felt re-born with a massive serotonin "reset". I would go walking in nature with my shih tzus the following morning and all of nature looked as if brand new with a curiosity of nature's divinity.

Note: Morning glory seeds did not work, only HBWR seeds worked to simulate the kykeon and Vedic SOMA in the experiments in the book ages ago...my results with up to 150 morning glory seeds were extremely disappointing (even below threshold effects), I believe the mg seeds are mainly 75% clavine alkaloids with less than 25% LSA, the levels of LSA in mg seeds being probably around .001mg per seed vs HBWR seeds at .04mg per seed. The morning glory seeds resulted in zero entheogenic effects, no euphoria, no stimulation, no visuals, and even no physical symptoms like dilated pupils.

Eleusis Kykeon and Vedic SOMA theoretical simulation Materials list:

1) 25 genuine real HBWR seeds, approximately .04mg LSA per seed. Authentic Argyreia Nervosa from Hawaii, A+ organic hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, I get 400 seeds per order. Beware fake HBWR seeds.
2) 0.001g scale
3) One oversized shot glass for the spinning of the seed dust, and one regular shot glass for the fridge, and a 6 ounce half pint tall canning jar 4" tall x 2.75" wide.
4) magnetic stirrer with 3/8" x 1" long stir bar that can spin easily and fast inside the shot glass or canning jar.
5) everclear (95% grain alcohol or similar high proof alcohol)
6) coffee grinder
7) mortar and pestal
8) long pyrex brownie dish (9" wide x 15" long)
9) 2 razor blades
10) a fan, and a hair dryer to use for last 5 minutes of water evaporation from the pyrex dish (optional)
11) 3 grams of the secret herbal substance Aojiru young barley grass that comes in a nitrogen sealed 3g pack, 46 to a box, very high in isovaleraldehyde, valeraldehyde & crotonaldehyde.
12) distilled or spring water
13) For the chapter 5 three super simple steps with sketch illustrations: DL tartaric acid powder can be used or plain tartaric acid used in wine making (available worldwide). I give amounts of DL tartaric acid or PLAIN TARTARIC ACID powder to use, 30mg in beginning, and 10mg on last step. The 2 stirring steps can be condensed down from 20 minutes each, down to 10 minutes each, shortening the overall procedure time. Plain tartaric acid powder is available for $8 used in wine making available worldwide, which works just as well as DL tartaric acid, I tripped my ass off using plain tartaric acid powder. Plain tartaric acid is actually known as D-tartaric acid (old nomenclature) and is dextrorotary, which is all that matters. Tartaric acid powder is the only acid to be used, period. Tartaric acid participates in hydrogen bonding to LSA and is an important catalyst for the aldehyde condensation.

Dr. Mckenna said the author's 1 hour interview is being released on April 20, 2026 on Brainforest Cafe on you tube. The author's 7-page paper on LSI is being released on Graham Hancock's official site during the April to June timeframe.

Yes, tartaric acid should be the only acid used (not citric acid) as it participates in hydrogen bonding and is an important catalyst for the reaction that takes place during the two 10 minute stirring steps. As a matter of fact, I updated the book and ALL forums to reflect this very important update. The only error in the book is that I assumed citric acid could take the place of tartaric acid, so I wrote that it could possibly substitute, but again citric acid does not work. I used tartaric acid powder (available worldwide used in wine making and baking) for all 9 very successful experiments, my all time favorite psychedelic, 40 seeds converted to LSI just as bad ass and exactly like 550mg heavenly mescaline, equivalent to 160ug LSD.

Plain tartaric acid (used in baking and wine making available worldwide) substitutes just fine for the DL tartaric acid I used in all my experiments in book and beyond, as I learned recently self experiment, absolutely no difference.

Ask google in AI, response is:
Yes, DL-tartaric acid can interact with and bind to the NH group of indole, particularly through hydrogen bonding [4.4, 4.6].

Update: 3.31.70:

Tripped on 44 HBWR seeds converted to LSI last night, absolutely incredible!!! Had the time of my life: zero side effects, zero vasoconstriction, zero nausea. Felt just like 180ug of LSD but much more euphoric, colorful, and musical. Hours and hours of colored open eyed magical visuals and way beyond 4k closed eye colored visions. Euphoria, music enhancement, and visuals just like that of 550mg high dose mescaline.

Felt identical to 550mg of the Heavenly mescaline. Scraped up 200mg of LSA extract from the pyrex dish with 2 razor blades, then stirred it for 10 minutes with 10mg tartaric acid powder ($8 on line) and 3g or 1 pack of the nitrogen sealed Aojiru barley grass. My absolute favortie psychedelic, have taken 11 times now, averaging once a month for the past 10 months now. Took only 45 minutes, the 3 easy steps are illustrated in the book. Most of the time is spent waiting between the two 10-minute stirring steps and the 30 minute evaporation step. Super easy.

How this works:
