LSA Seeds: Hawaiian Baby Woodrose and Morning Glory

Every seed in this category comes from the Convolvulaceae family, a group of climbing vines that store lysergic acid amide in their seeds. Argyreia nervosa, Ipomoea tricolor and Rivea corymbosa are the three species that made the compound famous, and two of them sit in the grid above. They are related, but they are not interchangeable.

Ergine, and why LSA is not simply weak LSD

LSA is short for lysergic acid amide, also called ergine. It is an ergoline alkaloid and a serotonin receptor agonist, so it shares both its backbone and its target with LSD, which is why the comparison comes up in every conversation. The two do not feel the same. LSA runs heavy and dreamy, more body than eyes, with a sedating drag that LSD never has. People who want the molecular side by side can read LSD versus LSA.

Three vines, three different seeds

Hawaiian Baby Woodrose (Argyreia nervosa)

A perennial climber, native to the Indian subcontinent and now growing across Africa, the Caribbean and Hawaii. Big heart-shaped leaves, white trumpet flowers, and furry seeds that ripen inside a dry pod. Run a thumbnail across one and it feels like felt stretched over wood. Ten seeds per pack.

Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Madagascar

Same species, different provenance, and the one customers keep telling us is stronger. Also ten seeds per pack. Worth knowing before you order: ergot alkaloid content in Argyreia nervosa swings a lot, and seeds of the same size have been measured anywhere between 3 and 34 micrograms of LSA. So stronger is a tendency, not a promise.

Morning Glory (Ipomoea tricolor)

An annual twining vine from Mexico and Central America with a documented Maya ceremonial history. It climbs 2.5 to 3 metres in one season and the trumpet flowers open at dawn and are gone by evening. Named cultivars include Heavenly Blue and Wedding Bells. Sold by weight, 10 grams a pack, because the seeds are small black wedges rather than the big furry ones.

Which pack to pick

Trip-E from Happy Caps holds 150 mg of Hawaiian Baby Woodrose per capsule with 15 mg of caffeine on top, which is why it reads brighter than raw seed.

What to expect, including the part nobody enjoys

Onset is slow, anywhere between roughly half an hour and three hours, and the effects then hold for 4 to 10 hours. Expect a warm, introspective headspace rather than the sharp visual push of LSD. The honest downside is the pair of side effects everyone reports: nausea and sedation. LSA is famous for both, and a queasy first hour is normal rather than a sign something went wrong. Standard harm reduction applies, so line up a tripsitter, leave a clear evening for it, and skip other substances. Full detail lives in our guide to LSA effects and dosage.

Storing and preparing the seeds

Keep them dry, dark and sealed and they hold for years. One thing to watch: Morning Glory seed sold for bedding displays is often coated with fungicide, which is the main reason people buy botanical seed from a smartshop instead of a garden centre. If you want the chemistry behind seed preparation, we walk through it in how to extract LSA.

Why order your LSA seeds here

We have sold these seeds since the smartshop days, so stock turns over and nothing sits on the shelf going stale. Orders ship in plain, unbranded packaging. Still deciding between the two plants? Morning Glory versus Hawaiian Baby Woodrose settles it in five minutes, and there is plenty more in the rest of our smartshop.
