Does the cold water lsa extraction metod really work?
Cold water extraction is a waste of time and seeds. I prepared 6 HBWR seeds for this method, scraping their husks and washing, then grinding using a coffee grinder before adding them to 1/2 liter distilled H20 for 45min and filtering the solution. After drinking the solution, the effect was really mild, so I extracted 6-more seeds this method. 12 HBWR seeds should produce a mind-blowing trip according to dosage tables. Again, not an intense journey through my mind, just cloudy thinking, slight vision & light accuity, felt good body trip, but lacked euphoria. I saved the seed much, I ended up eating it all, got a slightly sour stomach- but it didn’t bother me much, and it felt good experiencing LSA for about 4 hours thereafter, but nothing compared to erowid reports of intense CEV’s and OEV’s and full blown tripping balls. Good luck. FYI- I did use pure and fresh seeds from an online source -basement shaman- where this kind of botanical products is their specialty.
