HAWAIIAN BABY WOOD ROSE

Those too stoned or impatient to count out hundreds o€ morning-glory seeds may find Hawaiian baby wood rose (Argyreia nervosa), another legal member of the bindweed family, easier to handle.

Because these seeds are so large, it only. takes from four to eight to get the tripper on his way. The immature seeds from this plant contain a healthy dose of lysergic acid amides, strychnine, and several other alkaloids. Both in terms of effect and chemistry, Hawaiian baby wood rose is almost identical to the more potent varieties of LSD-like morning-glory seeds.

Preparation of a dose requires two pods (there    re four seeds in each). When removed, the seeds are found to be coated with a white fuzz containing strychnine and can be mildly sickening if eaten. Washing and scrubbing the seeds with a toothbrush or nailbrush will remove the fuzz (don't forget to wash: the toothbrush before using it again). Cleaned seeds; can then be chewed thoroughly and swallowed. The seeds may be ground to a powder with any appropriate kitchen appliance and put into large gelatin capsules.

A Hawaiian baby wood rose trip can last for hours or days. The tripper should be sure he's in a place that's comfortable, familiar, and peaceful. Eliminating noise and/or noisy people helps one to enjoy the trip. Too much boring chatter proves to be annoying and disconcerting.

First effects of the drug are realized in about an hour. If nausea is experienced to an uncomfortable degree, vomiting should be induced, as the cause maybe strychnine ingestion. The psychoactive effect of Hawaiian baby wood rose will not be minimized in such an instance.

Once past the nausea, a feeling of peaceful bliss begins to take hold. The LSD-like trip lasts about three to four hours. A feeling of contentment and ease may linger on for days longer.

Hawaiian baby, wood rose seeds are most effective when taken on an empty stomach, so users should skip the luau beforehand. High doses should be avoided unless the tripper is prepared to say aloha forever.
