I've visited a number of Mayan sites in Mexico and was amazed at the craftsmanship and sophistication. I couldn't bring myself to believe the Mayan Shaman just ingested these seeds and experienced the uncomfortable side effects that reportedly ensue.

I was certain they would have had a prep method that resulted in a comfortable experience. Not wanting to procure synthetic chemical as described in some prep methods, I got thinking about the possibilities.Knowing a bit about seed physiology I've come up with the following prep method; using this method I experienced a nice ride with no nausea or other ill effect on three separate occasions. A friend also used this method and also had no ill effects.

I used the following method to produce a dose of 250 seeds -

1) Soak seeds in water until they show first signs of germination, seed coat splits. Takes 12 to 24 hours. The seed root may slightly emerge.

*****takes about 30-45 minutes to prepare from here.

2) Remove seeds from water using a sieve and thoroughly rinse seeds.

3) Use a paper towel to pat dry.

4) Take a seed between forefinger and thumb and squeeze, The brown/black seed coat will come off.

5) You will be left with the white inner part of the seed put this aside in a bowl.

6) Discard the seed coat.

7) Place white seed inner back into sieve and rinse. You will notice a clear soapy gooey substance, you want to get rid of this.

8) Place back onto paper towel and pat dry.

9) Place in pestle and mortar and grind up - not too finely - as you want to rinse again in sieve without washing away the material.

10) Rinse again until you notice a significant decrease in soapy goo.

11) I leave to dry and grind further or ingest at this stage. If I leave to dry the material will brown. I dry it and grind it up to make it easier to ingest. Don't use a heat source to dry as this may break down the active substances.

I used the above method on my first experience, I was in a good place mentally and locality wise. The afternoon sun was shining (4pm), I drank down the powered seed with some orange juice and went for a walk down by the river. I think the physical exercised helped bring on the effects, as they came on in approximately 40 minutes with mood elevation and enhanced colours. On returning home I had an increased level of empathy and was experiencing mild visual hallucinations, this peaked and continued for 3-4 hours.
I had an increased level of empathy and was experiencing mild visual hallucinations, this peaked and continued for 3-4 hours.
I had a suppressed apatite and drank small quantities of water regularly through the evening.

By 11pm effects had largely ceased and I went to bed and slept soundly. No hangover.

I took some time with this substance wasn't in a rush for a buzz. Setting my scene and setting and being in a good place, I found Morning Glory to be an enjoyable experience. I have repeated this on two other occasion with much the same outcome.

Thanks to the other experience reporters, they gave me insight into morning glory and the prep methods.
