Hawaiian Baby Woodrose (Argyreia nervosa)
Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Information
Argyreia nervosa is the botanical name of the plant more commonly known as hawaiian baby woodrose. Other common names for Argyreia nervosa include elephant creeper, silver morning glory, and woolly morning glory. It is part of the Convolvulaceae (or Convulvulaceae) family of plants.
The Convolvulaceae family (commonly known as the morning glory or bindweed family) is made up of over 2500 species and 80 genera. The most well known of plants in the Convolvulaceae family are a group of plants known as morning glory. Argyreia nervosa and most other members of the family are considered morning glory plants.
Some members of the Convolvulaceae family are used as food and some have medical value. While others like Argyreia nervosa have seeds that can be applied to shamanic, spiritual, and recreational purposes.
Scientific Classification Of Argyreia nervosa
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Solanales
Family: Convolvulaceae
Genus: Argyreia
Species: Argyreia nervosa
The plant originated in India. It has long been cultivated in various tropical areas of the globe and can now be found growing wild in parts of Africa, Asia, Australia, and Hawaii.
Argyreia nervosa is a vine that can grow to a length of about thirty feet, it produces light blue-purple colored flowers. Plants are usually started from seed and grown in soil that is loose and well drained.
The seeds from Argyreia nervosa plants grown in Hawaii usually have a higher concentration of LSA (the main chemical that causes intoxication) than plants that have been grown elsewhere. They will retain their potency for about a year if stored in a dark, dry, and cool space. After that, they will start to lose potency.
Although Argyreia nervosa originated in India and was included in medical preparations, it has no history of consumption for shamanic purposes there. This may not seem like much, but almost any other psychoactive plant from this area has some history of being ingested for shamanic, religious, or recreational purposes.
It is strange that a plant like Argyreia nervosa would be overlooked or ignored somewhere with such a long history of using psychoactive chemicals for religious and other purposes. It wasn't until the 1950's and 1960's that scientists started studying Argyreia nervosa as a hallucinogenic or psychedelic drug.
Medically, Argyreia nervosa has been prepared into medicine for treating such things as bronchitis, cough, diabetes, syphilis, tuberculosis, and other maladies. It has also been utilized in aphrodisiacs, tonics, and to improve a persons intelligence.
How To Use Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds
You can buy organic hawaiian baby woodrose seeds that were grown in Hawaii here. They are shipped from the USA to most countries. The seeds are 100% legal almost everywhere (including the USA).
The first time you try hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, no more than 3 seeds are recommended. This amount is low and many people will feel nothing. 5 seeds are usually consumed as a minimum dose but like LSD, the effects of even small amounts of LSA can be extreme.
Try 3 seeds the first time and increase the dose size by 1 seed each time you try until you find a dose size you are comfortable with. Wait for at least 5 days between attempts and always have a sitter (someone who is not taking drugs to look after the situation).
Never take more than 10 seeds at a time unless you have worked your way up to that dosage by increasing your dose by 1 seed each new attempt. For most people 10-15 seeds are enough for a very deep experience, hallucinations are common at this level.
Effects are very similar to LSD although not as intense in a majority of cases. However, some drug users (that have tried drugs like LSD and magic mushrooms) report that hawaiian baby woodrose seeds are the strongest drug they have ever taken.
As with LSD, good and bad experiences are possible. The best way to ensure positive results is pay attention to proper set and setting. The easiest way to consume the seeds is to grind them with a mortar and pestle (or something similar) and take them orally, by mixing with water and drinking. The ground up seeds can also be put in gelatin capsules.
Some potential users may wish to try LSA extraction as a means of lessening nausea. All parts of the plant are legal in the USA. However, extracted LSA is a controlled (illegal for most people) substance. To get an idea of what to expect, read some of the experiences written by hawaiian baby woodrose seed users.
Often people will remove the fuzzy coating of the seed because they believe it causes the nausea associated with hawaiian baby woodrose seed. However, the fuzz contains nothing that will cause any stomach upset. The chemicals that cause nausea are found inside the seed itself.
Like ololiuqui and morning glory seeds (that contain LSA), hawaiian baby woodrose seeds should not taken by pregnant women because they may cause a miscarriage. These types of seeds may also cause problems, and should not be consumed by people with liver problems like hepatitis and jaundice.
