About a week ago I got some heavenly blue seeds in the mail. I ground about 20g of seeds(a bit over 500 seeds)and performed a cold water extraction. Being the extremely cautious person that I am and hating to waste anything, I may have gone a little overboard with the water. My end product was about 70oz or so of cloudy water.
This was to be my first experience with Ipomoea violacea/tricolor (whatever). I proceeded to down the liquid, which was one of the worst tasting things I have ever drank. There was plenty of nausea going down, but once I finished all of it which took about half an hour, my stomach settled and there was no more nausea.
Here's the thing, about an hour later, I really had to go to the john. So I did. And for the sake of preventing ambiguity, the excrement was of a very watery nature. It was almost all water, like at least 90%. This was repeated again in another half hour with similar results.
After this I layed down and waited for the come up. I expected to wait about 2-2.5 hours. Instead it took 4 hours before I felt anything. It started with a slightly trippy feeling but little to no psychedelic mind effects. Then I had to crap again, same as before. While on the toilet, the trip peaked to a less than impressive level. At this peak I had extremely subtle fractal type visuals with a morphing kaleidoscopic nature, but only in the dark. My face also seemed to morph ever so slightly while looking in the mirror in a nearly dark room. this was accompanied by a bit of euphoria. The peak ended in half an hour or so and the rest of the "trip" (I use this term loosely) lasted maybe three hours.
So to sum it up. I got the shits big time. It took a long time before the first effects. It peaked fast and very weak. And the "trip" went on for about 4.5 hours. My guess is that this was all because of the massive amount of water used in the extraction. The extreme dilution might have drastically slowed the absorption while the quick expulsion of large amounts of liquid might have removed the ergot alkaloids from my body before they could be absorbed. These two factors would noticeably affect the strength of the experience. This definitely correlates with my experience seeing as how I should have had at least a medium strength experience instead an oddly weak one.
This brings up some questions. What is the optimal ratio of water to seed material in a cold water extraction? There is surprisingly little info about the specific amount of water to use. Secondly, does any one else have an explanation or a similar experience. I have had a similar experience with a large amount of coleus tea before, but that was 2 gallons of tea. Please do not ask how I accomplished that because I don't even know how I did that.
For sure I know that next time I will use less water.
