HBWR Preparation/Dosage

I ordered Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds and have attempted to dose them as follows:
- 3 seeds skinned, ground up, swallowed in a glass of water. - 5 seeds skinned, ground up, placed in tea bag, steeped in cold water for 12 hours, and ingested 4 days after extraction. - 8 seeds skinned, ground up, placed in tea bag, steeped in cold water for 12 hours, and ingested 1 day after extraction.
I haven't been able to note any discernible effects from any of these experiences, other than nausea the first time and general drowsiness/drunkenness throughout. Yet, I've read plenty of documentation citing powerful experience from 3-8 seeds.
I'm not sure how to proceed. Is there something wrong with this preparation method? I assume upping the dose would be the logical step but I'd really like to get an impression of the threshold dose.

Steep them longer than 12 hours. Be careful around light. Maybe your seeds are bunk?

Could be any number of reasons.
HBWR has dramatically different effects on everyone who uses it. Maybe the seeds you got were harvested to early, or just not good. Too much stomach content? Sometimes a full stomach deters effects. Maybe now is just not your time to trip off them.
I'd just keep trying at doses you have already tried.. that's how I finally felt LSA for the first time.

from my own experience and others that lived with me...
never took less than 10 seeds skinned.
don't eat beforehand.
if dosing within a week or so of another dose,increase dosage or effects will seem significantly less than usual.
no need to soak anything...just grind them up and get it over with
.....you could just save yourself some time and buy yourself some salvia or mushies.
if all else fails,make sure they sold you the right seeds....not all of them work

Thanks guys.
The second time I had been drinking and the third time I ate a meal about an hour and a half before. I suppose it could be a number of things. I obtained them online from a personally trusted source. Unfortunately, I don't have enough left to dose again without having to reorder. I think I'll try my hand at Morning Glory...
