Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds. Shelf life

[DawgTheHallMonitor]

Hello,

I just came across some HBWR seeds, my source me told they are at least 5 yrs. old. I'm wondering if they may have expired or lost some potency?
I know for a fact that they were kept in a cool dark area the entire time.
Im planning on trying them tonight anyway thought id ask though before I go wasting my time preparing it.

One more thing. I read on erowid the duration is between 6-8hrs, on another website I saw 10-14hrs. Which one is more realistic if taking 4 seeds?

Thanks,
DTHM

UPDATE: for those interested.

Something is active in these seeds, i took 3. So 5 years in a dark drawer wont really do a whole lot.
As far as effects, very light headed, but i have been smoking pot so that is contributing to that. The world has a very light metallic look to it, almost like a brushed nickel look. Kinda energetic, music is very appealing.
Mods, if you feel this threading is taking up space please do your thing.

Peace and Pot,
DTH

Thanks buddy. I just wanted to say I appreciate the update. Too many threads where the OP has large questions before emabarking on something, then sucking all the opinions out of all the posters, goes ahead with whatever he was going to do and NEVER comes back to update. I just wanted to thank you.

That's pretty neat, as LSA is usually one of the few things that degrades in a year or so, so I would have thought they'd be inactive. But I guess creative storage techniques can salvage LSA in seeds too. Cool.

Yeah I remember taking eight HBWR seeds and not feeling anything but threshold effects. MG seeds on the other hand are always a reliable source of LSA's and seem to keep pretty well IMO.

You're welcome and I know how you feel.
RIGHT! I was told they were taken to Burning Man in '08.lol. It made for a very lucid 4 or so hours, I did have a strong weed lollipop about 3hrs into the trip while smoking bud off and on the whole trip. I did notice some mild nausea and stomach cramps during the first hour after drinking them. I was able to sleep very soundly about 5 and a half hours later, slept for like 10hrs.

I was told to scrape off the fuzzy part on the seed to prevent nausea, i spent about 15 minutes doing my best to get it all off and still had some nausea. is that common with lsa on blotter or lsa in general? is their a shell i need to remove or not?
Anyway it was a fun experience next time im planning on taking the remaining 9. Ill post back here with the report or most likely just make an TR.

Peace,
Dawg

I would expect that seeds if stored dry would remain active for dozens of years. They're natures time capsules!
