LSA absorbtion through skin?

[sopor]

OK, something weard happened to me today...

I was preparing morning glory seeds for saturday's trip.
First I soaked the seeds in water for two days. Then I started removing the shell from each of them (sth like 500 seeds).

Soon after finishing the peeling i started feeling a bit strange. After a half of hour or so i started recognising the feeling. This is LSA. And it is definitely not placebo or sth. The weirdest thing is that i ate only two (2!) seeds.

Is it possible that while i was touching the seeds and removing the shells some LSA absorbed through my skin?

LSD can be absorbed by skin, and possibly LSA can too, but you are the first I know about, perhaps we can google about it or search erowid.

But how much LSA will be released from the seeds by touching them? I imagine a minuscule amount. Seeds are not like acid, which is a pure crystal ready to be absorbed through the skin. And if you ate two seeds (also smoked anything?), it's more likely the effects came from that. I once jokingly ate just two mushrooms, and I was tripping all afternoon. You can never know with these things.

I ate only two seeds but felt similar effect that i felt when i ate something like 200 seeds. I was completely sober before eating them.

It seems a bit strange that so much LSA was absorbed but i dunno.
One option is that LSA absorbes much better through skn.
The other i can think of is that i got some extremely potent seeds... But the second is not very likely.

I found nothing on the net (yet) about this means of ingesting LSA and that is why it seems strange...

Experiments will follow.

well..as people explained allready LSA could be absorbed through skin, and well, you've been manipulating 500 seeds so it's not far out the fact that you absorbed some through your skin...plus the two you ate....was this feeling strong or somewhat mellower than when tripping? cause the best idea would be that your seeds are quite potent if you can absorb enough LSA through your skin and with two seeds...otherwhise is a very strong placebo you had after eating 2 of them...consider also that in the past shamans would just need 80 seeds...still that doesn't explain it...interesting interesting...do continue with experiments...i shall experiment soon, as my Ipomoeas are thriving and shall soon flower

If LSA is absorbed thru skin, it should be absorbed very well by sublingual route.
It would worth a try to mash 50-100 seeds and place them under the tongue for a while (half an hour),not eating them of course...

or perhaps a salve could be made and one could rub something on his skin to experiment?

Maru, I also first thought of sublingual method. Will try this weekend 8)

I did not read the whole post but I think that by soaking you have collected LSA at top of soacking fluid! And than you have eat or ingest with 'two seeds' yours layer of LSA. LSA ne prolazi kožu, a odvaja se poput maš
