Ipomea Violacea: A Morning Glory Trip
This entheogen is found in mountainous zones across North America and Mexico (although different varieties can be found in Central America, specially in Peru); the kind of Ipomeas that have the most concentration of alkaloids are the Morning Glory (first picture below) and the Heavenly Blue (last picture):
The Morning Glory / Heavenly Blue seeds are used to prepare a beverage with some strong psychedelic effects due to the "d-lysergic acid amide (LSA)" they contain. This chemical has a great resemblance to LSD (actually Dr. Hoffman discovered LSD after studying and experimenting with a lot of entheogens, so Ipomea Violacea was a source of inspiration for the discovery of the Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) In my experience, I have reached breakthrough effects only with the Heavenly Blue Ipomeas: where I live you can find Ipomea in every corner (purple and pink ones mostly), but the alkaloid concentration of this plants varies greatly depending on the zone, so probably Morning Glorys in this part of the world don't have enough alkaloid concentration to reach breakthrough effects. I tried ingesting the seeds by chewing them a couple of times with no effect, and then proceeded to grind the seeds and make an Ipomea Violacea psychedelic tea, but the resulting effects were poor... I decided to try some "special breed" Ipomeas on the Internet (you can get hundreds of these for a few dollars here... So I ordered a handful and prepared my psychedelic tea again. (For a great step-by-step guide on how to prepare the Morning Glory Seeds go here.) I sipped the tea for about 30 minutes and I spent the next hour reading and waiting until I started noticing the first effects: I felt a light uplift on my mood which kept increasing each minute. I really don't remember how or when I got to the peak, but suddenly I found myself full of an amazing and indescribable "happy glow" and surrounded by some beautiful colored visual patterns, both open-eyed and closed-eyed... The Heavenly Blue Ipomea Violacea was dancing with me alright! In my experience these legal highs are great for appropiate social experiences and surroundings: conversations turn into fairy tales, dancing into ego melting and thinking into dissolving ones essence to become the sacred of the world. (Sorry, that probably sounds too far out, but that's the impression I'm into every time I trip with Ipomeas) The strong psychedelic effects lasted for about 4 or 5 hours and a progressive, pleasant comedown followed... I have to say that I was expecting some serious stomachache or vomiting every time I ingested the seeds (almost every trip report on the net about Ipomea Violacea starts with a stomachache) but I didn't have any ache or pain of any kind, just a mild diarrhea the next day. DOSAGE INFORMATION It is hard to measure an exact dose, due to the alkaloid variation in Ipomea Violacea, but for me a dosage of 250-300 seeds has worked just fine. Don't try more than 500 though, there's some scary reports about some very intense trips.
