Morning Glory Wine

After reading something about this on Erowid I decided to try it. I got a hold of about 12 morning glory flowers (pearly gates) and they've been sitting in a bowl of water for 2 weeks. The waters turned a kinda pink, almost orange color, and it smells really nice. The thing is, I cant find much information on the effects, all I could find was it gives a decent alcoholic effect with a very mild psychedelic effect as well, but that's not to informative. I've never done morning glory seeds because I keep hearing bad things about the LSA experience, I hope its nothing like that. I just don't like trying things I don't know much about. Has anyone tried this before or know anything about it? Maybe how long it lasts, or exactly how "mild" the psychedelic effects are? I got the stuff right here in front of me I'm just not sure if I want to drink it, lol. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

So wait, you soaked the MG flowers in the wine?

That's curious...as you noted, a search turned up nada, so your hesitation is wise. I'll continue looking but I would hold off for the time being. After all, better safe than sorry.

Steeped? Steeped implies heat. Does he mean simmer it on low for a week? I doubt it. if no heat is used, I am not sure the plain water could extract much.. Was the bowl covered, did you sit it in a cool or hot place?

I agree this cant mean to have the flowers simmering for a week or more. That's ridiculous. So I simply had them soaking in a bowl of water. It was covered with a lid, and the water has just been sitting in a dark spot in my closet and has remained at room temperature.
Furthermore, I've been searching and searching for information on this wine but with no luck. So now I'm looking at the flower by itself and what its made up of. I've found there would be nothing wrong with eating the flowers raw, they wouldn't make you sick or anything like that. So I think I'm just gonna drink it and play the guinea pig. Really the worst that would happen is, well absolutely nothing. I'll let you know.

Okay well I drank it. Didnt taste to bad, kinda like real watered down juice. I'm really starting to doubt this doing anything at all. Guess its worth a shot though.

Nope, no effects at all. I waited a good 4 hours after drinking it before I went to sleep. I'm still curious about this though, there has to be some way to make it work. I'm going to email the guys at Erowid about this, maybe they can help me out.

If you soaked the MG flowers in WINE for a month, the alcohol would brew the active ingredients out, with or without heat.. Try letting them sit in some vodka or wine for a month and try again. good luck I am curious how it will go if you try.

I was thinking the same thing. I got 12 MG flowers in a bowl of white wine now, covered with a lid. I'll let it sit for about 3-4 weeks and see what happens. I was also going to try to let some simmer for a few hours and drink that, but I cant get any more flowers at the moment. When I get some more I'm going to try a few different ways as well. I'll let you know how everything turns out.

3-4 weeks is probably more than enough time.
Also, I would be careful if you decide to simmer any of the flowers, because if they contain any LSAs, they would be totally destroyed from the heat.
Good luck!

Do the flowers contain LSA? If it doesn't work, how about soaking an ounce or so of crushed seeds in some real wine, and then filtering them off?

I'm not sure if the flowers contain any LSA, though I'm not sure whats supposed to give you these effects if not LSA. There just isnt enough information on this, so it looks like I gotta try and test untill I get something. Would sure be awesome if I discover something that worked. I'll keep you guys posted, its just gonna take some time.

No, I'm not sure about the ratio of flowers to liquid. I have 12 flowers in about 3-4 cups of wine, we'll see how it turns out.

if u have access to the flowers you should prolly be able to get some organic seeds too. try adding some crushed seeds to the mix inorder to get some lsa in the mix. enough for a mild effect hopefuly without the cramps and illfeelings.

The whole point of this experiment though is to get some effects without having to use any seeds. I want to see if you can get at least mild effects by just using the flowers. That might be a good idea though, I'll see how it goes with just the flowers, then maybe if I get a good recipe for making the wine with just flowers I'll try adding some seeds for even more effects. I just might be on to something here

well, if you have access to a ton of flowers, say a pound wet.. you could put them fresh into a gallon jug, and just top off with some high quality vodka, let sit in a dark place for 3 weeks, with a few swirls to mix it up, and probably get the most potent product you could probably get with an alcohol extraction..
I was thinking maybe the person who wrote the trip report did not use alcohol.. I think the flowers may ferment and produce alcohol even if left to sit in water for a long time.. can anyone confirm? This small amount of alcohol may have produced effects.. 12 flowers is not enough to work with.. I would think with the flowers you would need a lot to produce those effects..Maybe even get a press and squeeze the essential oils from the fresh flowers, and drink them like that.. Or use as a lotion to absorb the lsa through the skin, or whatever is in the flowers( is it even possible to absorb lsa through the skin.. maybe just drink it.?)
