- All these alkaloids listed here can be hydrolysed into Lysergic Acid.
- This will also racemate it, but so what, according to this chart
- the iso form is more predominant anyway, racemization should thus
- produce more of the biol. active form. Also, isolation of the iso form
- (chromatography) followed by racemization will give still more active stuff,
- but probably not worth the trouble. NOTE: hydrolysis should only be done
- if the goal is to make LSD, Lysergic acid by itself has little/no
- psychedelic properties (?).
- At 0.136% dry weight ergine, then to get a good hit (
- assuming ergine is 1/10 potency of LSD) we need 100ug x 10 = 1mg ergine.
- Thus we need 1/1.36 g of seeds for one good hit (assuming the other
- alkaloids don't make you fucking sick) or 0.74 grams of HBWR seeds.
-
- Note: the fuzzy coating on the outside contains cyanogenic glycosides
- which can make you really sick if you eat enough (same kind of stuff in
- apple seeds).
