First of all Hi! to everybody since i'm new to the board and i wanted to congratulate for the forum because it's cool and very informative. I would like to share my experience with Hawaiian Baby Woodrose with you since not only because i'm a tad dissapointed but maybe you could tell me your opinion and tell me if i didn't some mistakes in taking them.
A few weeks ago i found out that there's a smartshop in the city near the town where i live (40 minutes by train), so i decided one day to go there to see what they have and for a nice stroll around the city. The smartsop was really nice, it had a really cool spacey/sci-fi theme to it and the lady at the counter was pretty, real nice to speak to and very kind because she illustrated to me every single freakin' product she sold in the store! After the chat i had with her i decided to take 2 packs of H.B. woodrose seeds, since she told me that they were something to try, similar to LSD but you don't go out of control and the effects are shorter, and i thought they were interesting. Each pack contained 5 seeds and costed 10 euros and it was in a kind of a pyramid shape box. Under the base of the pyramid there was a short description of what was inside, it said "Argyreia Nervosa", things like "DO NOT SWALLOW" and a link to a site (i guess another smartshop from which they order the seeds) called www.wipeout...ecc (can't remeber exactly).
When i got home i did a quick search on the net about these seeds and informed myself the best i could, so i knew what precautions to take, what i should've expected and how to behave myself.
A few days later i thought it was the perfect day to try the seeds, my parents were out all day and i was alone in the house. I carefully prepared myself, didn't eat anything at school, for lunch i cooked myself a small dish of pasta in tomato sauce and didn't have any chocolate snacks in the afternoon as i usually do.
At around 6:00 PM i felt that i had an empty stomach and i called a good friend to assist me in case i puked (since i read it's pretty common), so i thought it was the right time to take the seeds. I took 5 seeds (i've been told that an average dose was 2-3 seeds, but it was ok to take all 5 of them) followed the instructions that the woman of the smartshop told me: i crushed them on a plate and put all the pieces in my mouth and chewed them the most i could then i swallowed them.
First of all i was surprised by the taste, i read on the net that it was shit and really hard on the stomach, instead it was perfectly bareable, not nice but not disgusting either. After that i went in the living room with my friend to watch the winter olympic games and just to laze about, impatient to see what would've happened!
After about half an hour i didn't feel much, just slighlty dizzy and a few light shivers in my legs, but nothing worth of notice.
After a while i got fed up in watching TV and decided to meet up with some school friends that were at a pub; i was feeling a bit tired but anyway quite sober. After 2 glasses of wine with aperol i decided to go back to my house with my friends and felt COMPLETELY sober.
By then i was already quite disappointed with the seeds since i had the feeling that i didn't trip at all and already more that hour passed since i took the HB woodrose!
So i decided to take the other pack of seeds and take all 5 of them (i know, this was VERY stupid of me, since from what i heard most of the "trippy" substances take a while before the effects start coming out and it's better just to wait and not to take anything else!), this time though i didn't crush them on a plate but i put them in my mouth and i crushed them with my teeth and of course i chewed them the most i could.
Nearly immediately after taking the other 5 seeds of LSA i smoked a joint with my friends, but nothing much was happening.
After that i could feel a bit of the "stoning" from the ash but nothing much and nothing new to me (i smoke marijuana quite regularly, even though i don't define myself an expert smoker). I continued the evening drinking a few beers and smoking js and STILL didn't feel a thing; i could just distinguish the feeling of being "high" from the joints but nothing new and i was VERY disappointed with the seeds.
The day after i asked myself, why didn't anything happen? I mean, i'm not an expert tripper and i never considered myself one of those people that i call "nikitas" or "living statues" that can take upon anything , even ratpoison, and not feel a thing; the only substances i had in the past were alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and poppers. I had my fair share of rough times where i was stone dead and a few times i threw up as everyone else, but jeez... when i took the seeds i was still COMPLETELY SOBER! I believe that the initial effects took place mainly because i was suggested and was waiting impatiently for something to happen...
In conclusion i think of going back to the shop and explain everything to the girl, without asking my money back (even though 20 euros thown away are a bit of a pain in the ass for me), just to make things clear...
Anyway, what do you guys think? Did i do something wrong in taking them or were the seeds i bought simply a faux?
Thanks in advance for reading!
