Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds can certainly be worth it if prepared properly. if you just chow down on seed matter you're going to puke. Removing the surface coating of little 'hairs' can help with this issue as they are a GI irritant but the primary source of the nausea are ergoclavines present in the mixed lysergic amides. Avoid the use of alcohol for solvent extractions, as aside from its inherent nauseating properties it will pull more clavines then dH2O. Acid/base wash is the easiest way to pull the yummy alkaloids, but a CWE will work pretty well too - If CWE-ing, throw a little vegetable oil in the mix and shake well, then drain the aquous fraction. Dump the oil. This is not to pull freebase alkaloids but rather to absorb the seed oils which tend to contain some ugly chemicals. A combination of the two works rather well, e.g mix up a batch of bicarbonate solution (baking soda + distilled water). Soak the seeds overnight, pouring through a coffee filter to catch any undissolved baking soda, then soak again the next night. Soak the seeds for 1-2 days in neutral distilled water, for a nice water extraction. Add 1-2 capfuls of vinegar (or your desired amount of tartaric acid) for luck. Pour off water through coffee filter into an empty container. GENTLY add little sprinkles of baking soda until it stops foaming... at which time you can just start adding teaspoons at a time until little white rocks form. If you're using a container you can close and shake, this would be a good thing... Then filter to retain the rocks and wash with dilute bicarb solution... Pour a few splashes of the dilute solution through your coffee filter in the funnel until the bicarb stops rinsing away, and only the little white rocks remain.
Shake the little white rocks out on a mirror or glass table, which has been cleaned of dust beforehand. Do NOT eat them all at once, lol. Scrape little white rocks and powder from the mirror into a clean cap from a 2l bottle. Fill a dropper bottle (visine, candy drops, etc) with distilled water - a few sprinkles of vitamin C help here, if you've got 'em - and squirt it out into the bottlecap. Sprinkle in tartaric acid until the little white rocks dissolve, and suck them into the vial. Try a few drops. If that doesn't work, wait a week for your tolerance to go down and try a few more drops. If you've got a good milligram scale, you can actually do this in mg/drop, but otherwise, you'll just have to make up your dose as you go along from an educated guess.
