How similar are Morning Glory seeds and Mushrooms?

[LivingIt23]

I've never taken mushrooms. Two days ago I tried Morning Glory for the first time while I was camping. The seeds took about 3 hours to kick in, and lasted nearly 20 hours. I'm fairly small and took about 175 seeds. I didn't get any nausea, which apparently is unusual because I've heard stomach pain and sickness is common for these. I ate them whole, with no grinding or mixing with any food. I had some visuals, but mainly it felt like my senses were heightened and intensified. Colors were brighter; the only thing that made me queasy was looking up at the sky because the trees seemed to be vibrating. Besides that, my opinion was that the seeds gave me a similar reaction to that of marijuana. Most things were the same, my mind just reacted differently. Resipration was irregular, it would speed up and slow down with hitches in my breath, but i was told that my heart rate never changed.
I've been told that Morning Glory and Mushrooms are nearly the same i you take enough. If i had taken more, I'm sure greater visuals would have come, but is that what mushrooms would do?

No, LSA and mushrooms are quite different in their psychedelic effects (when compared to the differences between other 5-HT2a psychedelics), although you may not quite 'get' the difference if you're a novice to psychedelics. Mushrooms and other 4-sub tryptamines (mushrooms contain 4-HO-DMT) have a distinct feel and sensorial response to them. 5-Methoxylated tryptamines also have a distinct feel, as do the simple tryptamines. This goes for all the major classes of serotonergic psychedelics, such as the 2C-x phenethylamines, DOx amphetamines, NBOMes, Mescaline etc. Even within those classes, such as between the various 4-sub tryps or 2C-x there are subtle differences.

Nevertheless, most all serotonergic psychedelics share a similar - unmistakeable - feel, despite the differences between them. This is obvious whether you've taken mushrooms or mescaline. You know you've taken a 5-HT2a psychedelic. This may be what was meant when someone told you morning glories are like mushrooms. From this standpoint they are like mushrooms, if you are comparing how similar MG seeds are to either mushrooms or ketamine. But when you become familiar with the serotonergics, you come to appreciate the fact that there are greatly differing aspects between the various compounds available, which is what makes the exploration of the variations so fun and interesting.

LSA (from morning glories) feels a lot more like LSD than mushrooms, which makes sense because the alkaloids in morning glories are lysergamides, a class of which LSD is a member. LSD shares a similar chemical structure to some of the active alkaloids in morning glories.

Furthermore, if you felt that your LSA trip was like marijuana, then you didn't take anywhere near enough. 360 seeds is a good moderate dose. Some people vary in their sensitivity depending on body weight and natural tolerances. You should be able to trip hardcore with these seeds if you get your dose right.

Just another insight: it sounds from your description of the trip that you are anxious and uptight about letting go. Don't bother counting your heart beats or breaths. Just flow with the experience and let it take you. The more you get worked up about autonomic bodily functions the more you work yourself in to a frenzy of confusion and discomfort. Just trust that the morning glories/mushrooms will take you on a ride and bring you back. And enjoy your trip!

I found morning glory seeds more similar to mushrooms to LSD. Shrooms and LSA have slower paced visuals and thoughts, a bizarre dreamy anxiety on the comeup. Acid's more dazzling and erratic, with thoughts and distortions jostling for position.

My only familiarity with either are at fairly moderate doses, but morning glories are less heady. Definite body stone, but not giggly or introspective like shrooms. I found it to be more like weed than anything, just with better memory retention. Also, no visuals.

No, they're nothing like each other. And LSA isn't anything like LSD either. LSA is LSA.

Careful with those seeds. My friend took a whole bunch one time and had epic meltdown landing him behind bars, in hospital, then at asylum. He was never the same after that happened and took years to release him. Not sure how many he took but he was very experienced in lsd and shrooms before taking these. He had taken the seeds before also but this time I think he went for the record of something. That whole event lead me to never try them, and they grow everywhere.

Like said before every psychedelic has it's own unique character. Personally I never had a strong experience with lsa, i took 200 seeds once..
I got nausea and light psychedelic effects like livingit said..

"I had some visuals, but mainly it felt like my senses were heightened and intensified. Colors were brighter; the only thing that made me queasy was looking up at the sky because the trees seemed to be vibrating."

Every psychedelic does that^^

Is there any diff strains of mg or maybe ripe ones are stronger? Who knows, it grows all over so there has to be diff characteristics and variables that could effect potency. All I know is this kid was very active phsychodelic user for many years with a tolerance. I wasn't there but heard he ate alot of seeds. That could mean thousands knowing him but the whole event was strange. It was all over the news, people were like mg seeds wtf???? Lol. I saw him 2 years later and he was somebody else. It really melted his brain. Everyone have diff experience and tolerance plus these are natural. Potency and effective strength could differ from one place to another just like herb, opium, etc.

He didn't start thinking he was a glass of orange juice did he? And that if you touched him he'd spill?

 

[RodRamsey]

Lol actually he went on wild GTA rampage ending up steeling some ladies car then crashing it. Instead of running I heard he jump in the backseat and thought a helicopter was right over the car. The whole time lady was stand right there like umm this kid just stole my car, drove 10 feet and crashed, now he won't get out lol. Its funny story but also a warning not to over do it and who knows what potency your seeds are. Maybe they not ripe enough and you catch half buzz. Hopefully he doing better but I've seen more than a few epic meltdowns.

In my experience morning glories can produce a trippy high with a significant body component (I feel that more than with other psychedelics like mushrooms or LSD), by which I don't only mean potential nausea but also a high or floaty and quite euphoric feeling.
But for me mushrooms and LSD are considerably more potent in terms of mind-warping effects and if you are trying to get comparisons to shape expectations, make sure you don't understimate mushrooms because I find that you get much more affected by it. The removal from reality can be more severe which can give both positive and negative results. So start with a low dose and slowly work your way up over the course of succeeding trips. And keep an eye on your set and setting.
