I've taken plenty of LSD and plenty of HBWR seeds, grown myself, groumd up toss & washed and CWE'd. But never a proper extract using nonpolar solvents.

LSD is a stimulant but HBWR seeds cause drowsy sedation. Is this because of the seeds themselves or are extracted LSAs sedative? I always assumed since LSD is part tryptamine, part phenethylamine that it got the stimulating effects from yhe phen backbone but it just dawned on m that HBWR kinda throws a wrench in that theory.

LSA is a sedative. Check out LAH, lysergic acid a-hydroxethylamide, a prospective psychoactive substance found in HBWR seeds.

Yep. Old seeds are sedating unless one (re-)forms the acetaldehyde adduct LSH.. then its a lot of LSD-like energy and bounding euphoria.

If you really want energy the cinnamaldehyde adduct is speedy; it even comes on fast- in 30 minutes rather than 2 hours.

I'd love to hear the results of changing your tek to accommodate these more energetic aldehyde adducts.
