First of all. I've dwelled with various psychedelics a lot before, including LSD, different nbome variations, shrooms, ALD-25, LSD-P1 etc, and used LSA before as well. But before this trip I hadn't used any psychedelics for around 8 months or so.

NOTE: I had been taking Venlafaxine (an SSRI) occasionally as well, and took some in the morning. Not sure If that had anything to do with my mindset and the trip.

I was out a few nights ago, and my dear friend offered me some seeds, as he had plenty of them, and told me, that they're the madagascar strain of the Hawaiian Baby Woodrose, which were supposed to be really potent, so he gave me five of them. They had been between my wallet for around 3 days, as I wasn't sure when I'm gonna take them, but I decided to do it last night, as I knew I had nothing to do. My girlfriend was at home as well, she had to go to work in the morning though, and the next day would be free as well. So I took them at about 8.50PM. Munched on them for a while and swallowed. Washed it down later with soft drinks to get rid of the taste. Oh, and I hadn't had any real food since lunch, so my stomach was pretty empty.

About hour and ~30 minutes after ingesting, I noticed, that my whole body felt really tingly, starting from my feet, going over my whole body, and It felt really, really good, easy on my body, no harsh body load at this point. My girlfriend noticed me smiling, which I had no clue off, before her mentioning it. Also she said, that my pupils were huge.

Hour later, the tingling got even tinglier and I decided to go out for a walk. So I did. We have a bit of forests and parks around where we live, so I thought It'd be a soothing walk + I really wanted to have a cigarette. So I got up from the bed, got dressed and headed out. No difficulty in my motoring skills for now, could manage easily.

As I got out, I noticed, how the leaves of the trees, the grass started to live a bit. On closer inspection, it looked like they were breathing. It made me smile again, and my mind went really calm back then. Everything seemed so blissful.

Since now I didn't recall having any real distress in my stomach or nausea. So I had a cigarette. Halfway through the cigarette, I started getting nauseous, but not the point I had to vomit. Felt stressed about the fact, that I got nauseous, but the nausea went away in about 10 minutes after the cigarette. Other than that, smoking a cigarette felt good.

After walking around for 40 minutes, I decided to head back home, I was really enjoying the nature being so so blissful and calm, cause every time I thought of that It made me calm as well. But I finally headed home. Got back upstairs into my room, and laid on the bed. Was feeling pretty good about myself, all my motoring skills were pretty okay. They gotten a bit worse, taking of shoes I went through a bit of trouble when standing, so had to sit. I could hold up a conversation with my girlfriend really fluently. The tingling sensation came back on strong, and then everything hit me like a train.

Everything in the room started heavily breathing. The dream catcher we have in the middle of the room looked like its spinning, morphing. Everything went from calm and blissful to 'okay, look, I'm actually a really powerful psychedelic.' I was amazed how quick everything happened, how my visual field just started morphing, shifting, waving as I had thought that I can't get anything more out of these five seeds. Boy was I wrong. That went on for a strong 35-45 minutes, and then calmed back down, everything was slowly waving, visual field was shifting, was hard to focus on certain points.

After that, I suddenly got really drowsy, had trouble keeping my eyes open, to enjoy the visual trip, but I did end up keeping them open for like 30 more minutes, then being knocked out. I slept through the night without any problems, the sleep was really refreshing and deep for me. Woke up with a bit of empty mind, confusion but at the same time, everything was calm. I was calm, I felt really good, happy, and even though I had some weird body sensations after waking up (headache for a bit, uneasy feeling in the stomach), it didn't bother me at all.

Overall, I'd say LSA can be a really powerful psychedelic, and I am probably going to take it in a bigger dosage soon, As I want to see what this thing is really capable of. Now, It just felt like a small dose of LSD, with a bit different body load and head space that really wasn't there to be honest.
