So recently I purchased 50 Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds online for $6. The day that they arrived I had a free house so I was curious to try them. I had read about cold water extraction but decided to let the seeds be absorbed into my mouth. I have previously tried mdma, shrooms, cannabis all many times.

11:00am: I crushed up 10 seeds in a baggy, with a hammer, I then put the powder in my mouth and left it there for 10 minutes then I started to panic that I had taken too much so I spat them out, online I had read that they must be left there for 20-30 minutes so I presumed nothing would happen.

11:30am: I began to get tired and started to feel sick so I decided to lay down on my bed, I had already been tired that day so I presumed this was nothing, I eventually fell asleep.

1:00pm: I woke up and looked at the time on my phone, I now felt fine but needed the toilet so I got out of bed, I could barely walk. The room was spinning, everything was so bright, I made it to the toilet and examined my pupils, they filled my whole eye literally, I then realised how high I was. I ran back into my bedroom and started to panic I was already pretty fucked and I was only 2 hours into it and I'm meant to peak at 6 hours. From 1-3pm was the slowest 2 hours of my life, no matter how hard I tried I could not relax.

3:00pm: Then something changed, I noticed how relaxed I actually was and began to sink into my bed. I became disconnected from my bad and struggled to decide where my face began and where my actual consciousness began. I began to panic, I read that lsa was a teacher and I was scared to what it would show me. Thoughts like what is the meaning of life began to come into my head and I came to a conclusion that at the time I understood but now makes no sense to me, I also saw myself from a much different perspective, a truly clear perspective, by this point my vision was going crazy I could see inside myself not like skeleton but like my atoms and the tiny microscopical features that make me.

4:00pm: I realised I had peaked and this calmed me down massively as I could feel myself slowly coming down, I got up and started dancing and laughing, I felt enlightened and true perfection, a very similar feeling to mdma. I then put some music on and I could pick apart each individual layer of the song and the vibrations were contorting my bedroom. It was beautiful. It wasn't as visual as something like shrooms, but there was a lot of geometric shapes and a lot of wall breathing.

7:00pm: I wake up, I don't know when I fell asleep but I feel truly relaxed but still incredibly high, I start to panic once again, feeling that the drug isn't going to wear off, I decide the best thing to do is sleep.

9:00pm: I wake up once again, feeling fine but a little paranoid and dizzy, my pupils are still massively dilated, I fall asleep relaxed and reflecting on my experience.

Overall I was surprised of the power of the seeds, I would try them in lower doses but I feel this is not really a recreational drug and would not like to abuse it. Although I did not enjoy the experience I felt that it helped me and I needed it, however I also felt as though I was not ready for it. I may try this again but not any time soon. Also I have read about nausea and I felt none of that when it kicked in.
