LSA
General Information
LSA is the generalized name for a class of psychedelic seeds and plants, along with some fungi, that contain the chemical Ergine. Ergine is a potent psychoactive and a precursor to synthesizing LSD.
Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds are prepared by removing the shell of the seed (as it may contain pesticides) crushing the internals, and mixing it in a drink or capsuled and taken orally. Some reports indicate if mixed with lemon juice, the crushed seeds can be taken sublingually, however this isn't common due to the strong taste.
