Hey, I tried about 12 packets of Morning Glory seeds (I think half Heavenly Blue and half Pearly Gates) a while back. I got insanely sick, my body was wiped up, and I couldn't go to sleep...buuutt, after reading a few more reports, I decided to give it another try. The first time, I just chewed and swallowed about 12 packets. I contacted the company that sold them and they said they weren't treated, so I didn't scrub them with detergent (I suppose I should've anyway). Anyway, I got ridiculously sick and really tired, but I resisted throwing up, which was probably a bad idea. Anyway, by the time I finally decided to throw up, I couldn't and I had a horrible trip (although the visuals were definitely active). So, my point is, what is the best way to injest Morning Glory without using Petroleum Ether? Thanks!
they make you sick naturally. no amount of washing will make them nontoxic, though some people can seem to tolerate them. they contain chemicals that will make most people quite ill regardless of whether or not their treated, though. the only way to reduce the nausea, if you get it, is to do an extraction with a nonpolar solvent and then with alcohol, really. you don't need to use petroleum ether, though, you can use all sorts of things, such as butane or hexane. still dangerous stuff to work with if you're in the wrong conditions though. but assuming you use pure, clean solvents and make sure no solvent ends up in your final product, it should be perfectly safe to ingest the resulting product. sorry, but if you get sick from them you get sick from them, and thats just the way it is if you dont want to do the extraction. a cold water extraction MAY help a little, but i personally got sick from that before i could even finish it, let alone get any effects. it tastes awful, and would actually probably be MORE difficult to consume than ground seeds.
I have some naptha that doesn't leave a petroleum residue. Would that work? And I know some people just get sick from them, but if they were treated I may at least be able to reduce some of the nausea. Thanks again.
I have never got sick off MG seeds, I have eaten about 12 grams from the packs at Lowes and a couple months ago ate 20 grams of freshly picked seeds. I tripped a couple days straight on MG's, am I weird for not even feeling sick but having a great time?
i didnt get sick with morning glory seeds but they do taste fucking rancid. wash them anyways because its just a smart thing to doand do the extract...you'll tahnk yourself for it
make tea out of them dude. you've have to use a few extra packets but its much more worth it. i did it as a last resort camping cuz i ate a bunch and got sick, my buddy was trippin so i made the rest into tea. just crush them up with something, not too finely cause you gotta be able to strain the shells. stir them in hot water for a while and then let it sit in the refrigerator a few days, shake it now and then. strain it and most of the shell parts will come out which is the part that gets u sick. its not bad it tastes likethick, flavorless water its not bittor or anything. seriously, you can condense a good dose into a few shots of water.
you should soak them in cool water, as heat is likely to reduce the potency a bit. a lot of people DONT get sick from them, most people DO though. any nonpolar solvent should work, so long as it is clean. get a glass dish and pour some on there, and let it evaporate fully. now scrape it with a razor and make sure no residual gunk is left behind. if you dont get anything on the razor, its probably fine to use. obviously something like gasoline or charcoal fluid is probably a bad idea, but it should still work the same way, just be more likely to leave shit behind that you dont want there. if you're positive that your naptha is generally clean enough, you should be fine to use that. afterwards perform an extraction with alcohol, preferably ethanol. if you only have access to methanol or isopropanol, both should work fine assuming they're both relatively pure (95%+) and assuming you evaporate it ALL off before consuming. with ethanol you dont NEED to evaporate off the alcohol, but its still probably a better idea to dry it off and put the resulting extract in a gelatin capsule rather than taking a shot of morning glory liqueur...
