Ipomoea Alba
This morning glory species is also known as “moonflower” due to it being a night bloomer. Not to be confused with Datura; which is also often called moonflower. It is pretty easy to tell the difference as the Ipomoea Alba has typical morning glory shaped leaves and vine growth and also seed pods similar to typical morning glories as opposed to the spiky seed pod of the datura. The main difference with ipomoea alba to other morning glory strains is the seeds and white flowers are much bigger (around 4 times the size) and of course the flowers will be closed in daylight.

I found a nice sized clump of Ipomoea Alba growing wild near my house and thought I’d give it a trial…

Basically – the seeds were ineffective. However you can read below if you are interested in my extraction method.

I collected about 500 seeds (roughly the size of large coffee beans) of varying quality and sorted them into A and B groups: A- being the best looking seeds and B- the smaller, mouldier seeds with worm holes etc.

The A group was around 300 seeds – enough to fill 3x 50ml shot glasses. With the rest being the B grade stuff which I put aside for later testing. I ground the 300 seeds in a coffee grinder then put the powder in a jar and covered with around 200ml of “shellite” (an Australian brand of white gas) and let soak for about an hour with occasional shaking. I then strained off the shellite with a coffee filter and the liquid was now tinted yellow. I put the yellow shellite aside for later use and let the seed mush dry for about 3 days to let the shellite totally evaporate from the powder. The shellite was thus used as a non-polar solvent to dissolve toxins of the seed powder. (warning - DO NOT DRINK SHELLITE!!)

After a smell check to make sure there was no shellite residue, I dumped all the seed powder back in a jar with about 120ml of 120 proof Bundaberg rum (60% alcohol) and left for 2 days with occasional shaking. During soaking the jar was kept in a dark cupboard.

Then I strained the mix with a coffee filter. The resulting liquid was quite cloudy with a greyish, yellowish tinge added to the typical amber colour of the Bundaberg rum. The rum was used as a mild polar solvent to dissolve the LSA from the powder. It would hopefully have LSA in it.

After straining, at around 1200 I poured out a 30ml (equivalent of about 75 seeds) shot of this liquid and downed it in one swallow – not a very pleasant taste but not repugnant.
1300 : after an hour no effect has been noticed
1700 : very slightly spaced out, but nothing much... I decide to drink another 45ml (another 110 seeds worth)
2200 : nothing. I had taken in total tincture the equivalent of about 185 large alba seeds; probably equal volume of about 600 violencea seeds.

Conclusion: ipomoea alba seeds do not contain enough LSA to bother with.
