Pretty damn good for something legal...Morning Glory revisited.
2 weeks ago I tried mg seeds for the first time. It didn't produce quite the full-blown psychedelic experience I had hoped FOR. Mostly, just a wide array of highs, buzzes, nothings, confusion and strange feelings. I started out with 12 grams of Heavenly Blue mg seeds. I used the extraction method found here ( http://www.erowid.org/plants/morning_glory/morning_glory_faq.shtml ). I used Zippo lighter fluid and 190 proof everclear as the two solutions. I ended up with about 9 good shots of everclear/mg seed extract.
As soon as I put the glass under my nose, the strong alcohol combined with the potent mg smell quickly made me realize that drinking 9 shots of this stuff would be impossible. I managed to get down 2 shots b4 the taste started to affect my stomach.
I fell asleep about 2 hours after that. I felt very tired, not only because of the pure alcohol but the seeds as well. I did experience a few thought alterations but no psychedelic reality perceptions or visuals. A few things did "move" when I concentrated hard on them, but that’s the extent of it. Feeling sick and tired, I got into bed and fell asleep.
2 weeks later I wanted to try again so I took the remaining mg/alcohol mix, placed it in a soup bowl with a fan blowing across the surface. My aim was to evaporate as much alcohol as possible. A good 7 hours later, I had about 1.5 shots remaining (roughly equivalent to 9.5 grams of seeds). I washed the bowl with some more everclear to clean off any residue and then mixed it all together with some apple juice with some sugar dumped in. The juice completely covered the even more potent super concentrated seed extract and I didn’t get any nausea from the alcohol or the taste. The time was 4:20 PM.
The next hour produced nothing. I had the usual pre-trip anxiety that went away with 2 bong rips at 5:00. It was a beautiful summer day so I went outside, quite stoned and smoked some cigarettes. I was outside for about an hour and a half possessed by some insane interest in the environment. I remarked at familiar trees and parks around my house as if I had never seen them b4. I wasn't gawking at them, just felt like experiencing them for the first time. I guess it just felt good to be outside because I was enjoying myself more than usual.
At about 6:00 PM, a strange feeling came over me. I was walking around and felt possessed by some strange invisible force that made me slow down. I felt thick, dense and somewhat sealed off from the world. My hearing felt like it was turned down 50%. I couldn’t hear much outside noise, just an eerie creepy background hum, like when standing in a big room with many ceiling fluorescent lights, the hum that emanates from the lights is akin to what I heard. Except this background hum would have been at home in a horror movie death scene. It was bass heavy, sometimes grating, occasionally undulating and attention commanding.
I wanted to get back home so I could chill but I felt like I couldn’t move fast at all. I was slowed down by the invisible, seemingly physical barrier that made me feel very heavy. I felt very stoned still and incredibly stupid...very strange. I couldn't walk fast at all and the eerie hum accompanied me with every heavy footstep back home. I couldn’t concentrate at all on anything. My mind felt very clouded and unable to form clear thoughts and unable to focus or concentrate. I couldn’t make any important decisions or engage in any serious thinking. I almost felt completely detached from the world, being able to only see and experience what was going on around me, not being able to change or affect my surroundings. I felt very disassociated with my surroundings, yet I was conscious and aware.
6:30 I arrived home and made myself something to eat. 7:00 I sat in front of my computer and the heavy stoned feeling was going away pretty quickly, leaving me with a refreshed mind and an incredible feeling of being almost reborn. I felt euphoric, feeling like I was on a high plateau and couldn’t help smiling. I was giddy and laughed heartily at everything. It progressed to a stage where Ii was almost pissing myself laughing at anything remotely funny.
I felt good, happy, alive and no longer immensely stoned. I was still confused, but alert now. I knew that the trip was coming and wanted to prepare myself for whatever lay ahead. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do though and couldn’t sit still. I sat in front of my computer for 2 seconds only to stand up and for no reason, go to the living room. I wandered around my house for about 15 minutes when I had my first intense visual. A picture frame hung up on the wall caught my attention. It shimmered ever so slightly. In a split second, it grew to an immense size, flew off the wall straight towards my face. Just as it was about to hit me, it disappeared in thin air.
Next thing I knew I was on the floor laughing my ass off. I felt my face making sure it was ok. I was happy that I had proof now the seeds were working. I explored the painting with my fingers, analyzing ever groove in the wood and feeling every detail in the engraving. Time: 7:45 PM
To help the LSA along I smoked 2 more bong rips of some dank bud that I knew would make me active instead of relaxed like the previous sample. After smoking, I definitely felt something brewing. My mind felt like the beginning of an acid trip, racing thoughts, altered reality and occasional "glitches" in my vision. I sat in my very comfortable computer chair, put together a makeshift playlist and loaded www.snarg.net. I listened to mostly trance, allowing my mind to freely associate with any concept that entered my head.
It was breathtaking. I spent the next 1hour listening to mainly trance and other techno. I had such racing thoughts and I attempted to verbalize what I thought. Because of the sheer amount and speed of my thoughts, I would only begin a sentence before another thought interrupted me and I started a new sentence. I became aware of my toes curling and small involuntary muscle twitches and movements. My eyes were rolled in the back of my head and I had some strange visuals of colors and kaleidoscopes flashing and pulsating at me. Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd came up in the playlist. And the end of the song, that great guitar solo propelled me to a plateau of sheer happiness. Every note and chord tickled my brain cells as I sat slumped in my chair smiling ear to ear. When the end came, I slowly opened my eyes, aware of the depth of my experience. I was filled with this great sense of awe. I was enlightened and made aware of a growing power sprouting in my head.
My eyes snapped wide open and I quickly looked completely around the room as if I were a vicious animal searching for prey. I didn’t know what I was searching for but everything looked completely unfamiliar. I was alarmed at first not knowing my surroundings but I slowly came back to reality. Or at least my eyes did; for a split second I saw my room as I recognized it and then everything slowly morphed into fucked up mode. I quickly sat down in my chair, and watched as every object in my vision was suddenly multiplied so I saw various instances of what was happening. Think of it as a TV screen with the same 4 channels running picture in picture mode. But it was more than that, I was so confused at first but slowly realized that I had some sort of bug-vision. I saw what must have been infinite screens of what was in front of me superimposed in my face so no matter where I went or looked, I would always see them. Suddenly every screen started vibrating, as if in an earthquake. The blurriness escalated and eventually turned into some pulsating glowing mass that was viciously active and swelling. The mass swelled dangerously until it burst with an awesome explosion. Never have I heard an explosion so loud. It sounded like a nuclear warhead went off in my space. I felt my hands cover my ears and shut my eyes as I felt myself shaking. I was deathly afraid as I was still recovering from the explosion when I felt a tingly sensation in my head. I saw an out of body shot of myself with my head split open. I gasped when I saw, and moved the “camera” to the top of my head. The top of my head was split open but it looked like I was peering into a volcano or cavern, a big dark bottomless pit with scorching hot currents of air rising from it.
I opened my eyes and looked at my computer screen. I still had snarg running and something about the use of green and brown used in the applet started another episode of free association in my mind. The green and brown shapes seemed like some type of forest creatures and other plants so I guess I tripped like I was in some jungle. My head still felt like it was an open cavern but now I imagined that my head was a morning glory heavenly blue flower. I was in peace for a very long time. I felt summer sunshine and a cool breeze, inhaled the fresh air, and saw bright blue skies with mountains in the distance. I saw various animals grazing. In general it was a scene that made me happy. I felt like I was no longer in my house anymore but instead this lone morning glory flower in the middle of this peaceful meadow. I could literally feel the waves of content, relaxation and enjoyment emanating from my body. Strangely it also felt like I was in the sun tanning.
I heard a buzzing noise that seemed to start after a long time of peace. I quickly identified the noise as bees. I somehow immediately knew that I was in danger. I couldn’t run cause I was a flower but I knew I was in trouble when I felt a bee land on my skull (flower petal). He crawled into the flower. In my head, it felt like I had a gigantic insect crawling around. I imagined he was pollinating the flower. It was frightening as I felt his 6 legs, the wings and the stiff hairs poking my skull. The noise was deafening and he stayed there for a hell of a long time before flying away.
Time: 9:15 PM. My trip pretty much ended there. I got up out of my chair and walked to the sink to get some water. I was visibly shaking but after a few minutes I calmed down, realized it was a trip and laughed about it. I noticed that after 20 minutes my mind felt better. I was no longer visualizing but I was still tripping. I had the usual thought alterations and if I concentrated hard enough on objects, they would shimmer or move.
I knew I was coming down but I still felt good. I felt very relaxed but not tired. I had to be extra careful walking or handling items, as I did not trust my balance or sight yet. The very stoned feeling was returning so I smoked some more, this time from my relaxing batch so the comedown would be easier. I was relaxed but still confused. I found I had to concentrate harder to get things done like get ready for bed etc… My train of thought would always get interrupted by my mind wandering off into free association with any distraction I encountered. My ears liked to play tricks on me they and I heard things that were not there. It took me twice as long to do anything but by the time I finished showering, I decided to call it a night. The drug produced a very, very enjoyable gentle comedown. Come to think of it, I didn’t even have to smoke the last time to calm me down.
Still feeling slightly different, I slipped into my bed and with ease, fell asleep. Time, 11:30 PM
While I tripped, I would compare this experience to perhaps 1-3 acid hits. It also wasn’t as rough as acid. The entire experience was more relaxed and subtle. The visuals were pretty good but not as intense as an acid trip. I would do it again but the stores wont sell any more seeds till next year so I have to order them (out of season). One thing I loved is how easily I went to sleep. I slept like a baby for about 10 hours and woke up feeling completely normal the next day
