LSA seeds for an unfamiliar psychedelic experience

You may have heard of LSA seeds, but what are they really? We are happy to tell you more about them in this blog!

LSA (lysergic acid amide) is a naturally occurring psychoactive substance found in the seeds of some plants, such as Morning Glory and Hawaiian Baby Woodrose. These seeds are often used as an alternative to other psychedelics, such as psilocybin, because of their similar effects^[1] .

What is a psychedelic experience?

Before we move on to LSA seeds, it is important to know exactly what a psychedelic experience means. A psychedelic experience, so to speak, is a state of consciousness characterised by hallucinations, changes in perception, intense feelings and a heightened sense of connection with the world around us. Psychedelics can induce strong emotions and spiritual experiences and are often used for therapeutic purposes or for personal growth and exploration.

How are LSA seeds different from psylocibine?

Psylocibine is extracted from certain types of mushrooms, while LSA seeds come from Morning Glory and Hawaiian Baby Woodrose plants. Both substances have psychedelic effects, but there are some differences between them.

The main difference between LSA seeds and psylocibine is the chemical composition. LSA is a derivative compound of lysergic acid, while psylocibine is a tryptamine. This difference in molecular structure can lead to slightly different effects and experiences. Also, a trip from LSA seeds often lasts longer than a magic mushroom or truffle trip.

Using LSA seeds

There are several ways in which LSA seeds can be ingested. One popular method is to chew and swallow the seeds. Some people grind the seeds and mix them with food or drink to avoid the bitter taste. Another method is to make a tea with the seeds. After soaking the seeds in water, the liquid is strained and drunk.

The most important thing to know about using LSA seeds is that dosage is very important. Even small amounts can cause intense effects. It is therefore recommended to start with a low dose for beginners, as the reaction to LSA seeds can vary from person to person. In addition, it may also be wise to be in a safe environment while using, such as at home or with trusted friends.

What studies have been done on LSA seeds?

Although there has been less research on LSA seeds compared to other psychedelics, some interesting studies have been conducted. A 2003 study showed that LSA seeds had similar effects to LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), another well-known psychedelic substance^[2] . Participants in the study reported intense spiritual experiences and increased emotional attachment.

In addition, some studies have also examined the potential therapeutic uses of LSA seeds and it appears to be a non-addictive substance^[3] . Although more research is needed, there are indications that LSA seeds can help treat depression, anxiety disorders and addictions.
