So it's been a few years since I did this, but I thought I'd share.
A friend and I figured we'd order up some morning glory seeds, eat a shitload, and maybe have a little trip. After some research on Erowid, I ordered a big bag of heavenly blue morning glory seeds from eBay. Paranoid that I was going to buy some that were intentionally poisoned to discourage human consumption, I checked with the seller to confirm that I could eat them. "Good to go" was the response, "I'm sure most people who buy that quantity are eating them."
All set. I looked for extraction methods, but got antsy and just ground them up and mixed them water. I forget the dose, but it was certainly based on info gleaned from Erowid (i had no idea shroomery was a thing yet, but i've always had a bit of an obsession with getting a satisfying but safe dose).
Well, my friend and I drank that nasty shit, sat back, and waited. An hour later we weren't feeling anything. At about 90 minutes, however, we both began to feel something: HORRIBLE PAIN. My joints began to feel like they were full of sand, and soon I was effectively unable to move. It started in my knees and elbows but spread to my neck and digits. For like 3 hours I just lay on the floor wishing I wasn't so goddamned stupid. I remember being so incapacitated that you could have robbed my house and raped my mom while I watched. After 3 hours, no "trip," and a lengthy debate about whether or not we needed the hospital, the pain started subsiding. I was still stiff for another day, but felt back to normal after two.
From what I've read, the joint thing can be a symptom of ergot poisoning. Like I said, this was years ago. My liver and kidneys still check out just dandy, but I'll never forget how bad my body hurt after eating those damn seeds.
Any thoughts or similar experiences? Yes, I know I'm kind of an asshole who might make drugs look bad, but I think that happens from time to time when you're exploring.

You're spot on about me deserving a shitty time. I was really surprised though because it sounded to me like lots of people eat MG seeds without a extraction or poisoning. I consider myself lucky, and you know what? Retrospectively it was actually an experience that taught me something, which is always something I strive for with psychedelics. In that regard, mission accomplished.
I was really only screwing around with LSA because all I could find was shitty, speedy blotter "acid." I didn't know something so tweaky could be dosed on paper, and I'm still wondering what that crap was. Since then I've done clean acid many times, and there is no comparison to what I did the first two times.
I've learned to find better friends with scruples who won't sell low quality drugs, and now I grow my own mushrooms with wild success. I think my few novice mistakes have been important in fostering a healthy respect for psychedelics. Since the MG seed thing, I've had nothing but good experiences.
