What is LSA?

LSA (Lysergic Acid Amide) is a naturally occurring psychedelic found in many plants and seeds. It has some similarities in effect to LSD, but is generally considered much less stimulating and can be sedating in larger doses {In many people's opinion it provides the emotional component of an LSD experience without LSD's visual effects---"start low and go slow" is a common piece of advice with LSA, and all psychedelics } .The most common plants in which it is found are Morning Glory (Ipomoea violacea), and Hawaiian Baby Woodrose (Argyreia nervosa) seeds. As with many psychoactives, these plants have a history of spiritual and religious use among indigenous tribal peoples, South America in this case, but have entered the Western world first as a somewhat obscure psychoactive. All seeds containing LSA are legal to possess (In Canada at least) and easily obtained by anyone. Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds, each equivalent to about 1/15 of a "full experience", are said to be the most effective form of LSA delivery.

Little Baby Woodrose
Down on his luck

Crying out the auction
Lots to make a buck

Little Baby Woodrose
Journeys all alone

Never never landing
Never going home

Big brother Ellis Dean
Steals the show

Laughing in the poppies
Row on row

Little Baby Woodrose
Catching in the Rye

Standing on the cliffs
Where the children die

No one ever hears him
After the fall

Little Baby Woodrose
Cries for us all.
