Sorry to butt in, but from what I hear, Morning Glory seeds contain lysergic acid, and will give you the same effects as LSD. You have to eat mass quantities to get this effect. Beware of buying the seeds from your local retailer, though. A coat of some sort of chymical is put on them to make you sick. You need the seeds that aren't coated. Best to grow your own. I don't know anything about Wood Rose. I'd love to find out. Later daze... ...Shaun 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: J.S.

If I wanted to read about such things, I'd go buy a copy of High Times. I'd be much more interested in talking about things such as appropiate ritual incense, what types of scents are appropiate for which deity, etc. The main reason I haven't been posting is I just don't find pyschedelics that interesting, there's always that element of doubt. If I see Cernunos during a ritual when I'm tripping, that is not nearly as interesting as seeing Cernunos during a ritual when I'm straight. 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: J.S.

Sorry, I don't know of anything better than aloe, (are you allergic to it or something?) but I wish to share with you a song a friend of mine came up with a couple of years ago festival season. (Please regard this in the spirit of fun, I am not trying to mock your condition) Phoebus loves me, yes I know, 'Cause my sunburn tells me so. Tender flesh to him belongs I am weak, and he is strong. Actually, I do remember something, this is non-herbal. If you know anyone with satin sheets, or if you own some, now is the time to put them on your bed. According to a very pale friend of mine, (half Swedish, half Irish) this will allow you to get a good night's sleep, and for a short time, forget that you are in pain. 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718
