Effects of the Hawaiian baby woodrose:
Despite the similar structure, effects of LSD and LSA differ significantly. While LSD has a decidedly uplifting and energising effect, LSA is reported to induce a sedated, dreamlike trance.
LSA’s psychedelic effects are believed to come from its efficacy at the 5-HT2A receptor as a partial agonist. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychedelic experience continues to remain elusive.*
Effects of the hawaiian baby woodrose are much the same as those of morning glory seeds, but baby woodrose seeds have a much higher concentration of LSA. As a result, even a smaller amount can produce similar effects.
Consumption of LSA seeds often causes nausea and other stomach problems. This is not the result of the psychoactive substance, LSA itself but the various other compounds consumed along with it. To avoid such complaints, LSA is sometimes extracted from the seeds.

*Medications for depression (Antidepressant drugs) interacts with HAWAIIAN BABY WOODROSE
Hawaiian baby woodrose increases a brain chemical called serotonin. Some medications for depression also increase the brain chemical serotonin. Taking Hawaiian baby woodrose along with these medications for depression might increase serotonin too much and cause serious side effects including heart problems, shivering, and anxiety. Do not take Hawaiian baby woodrose if you are taking medications for depression.<br><nb>Some of these medications for depression include fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), amitriptyline (Elavil), clomipramine (Anafranil), imipramine (Tofranil), and others.
*Medications for depression (MAOIs) interacts with HAWAIIAN BABY WOODROSE
Hawaiian baby woodrose increases a chemical in the brain. This chemical is called serotonin. Some medications used for depression also increase serotonin. Taking Hawaiian baby woodrose with these medications used for depression might cause there to be too much serotonin. This could cause serious side effects including heart problems, shivering, and anxiety.<br><nb>Some of these medications used for depression include phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), and others.
Moderate Interaction
Be cautious with this combination
*Clozapine (Clozaril) interacts with HAWAIIAN BABY WOODROSE
Clozapine (Clozaril) affects the brain. Hawaiian baby woodrose also affects the brain. Taking clozapine (Clozaril) along with Hawaiian baby woodrose might decrease the effects of Hawaiian baby woodrose.

*Dextromethorphan (Robitussin DM, and others) interacts with HAWAIIAN BABY WOODROSE
Hawaiian baby woodrose can affect a brain chemical called serotonin. Dextromethorphan (Robitussin DM, others) can also affect serotonin. Taking Hawaiian baby woodrose along with dextromethorphan (Robitussin DM, others) might cause too much serotonin in the brain and serious side effects including heart problems, shivering, and anxiety. Do not take Hawaiian baby woodrose if you are taking dextromethorphan (Robitussin DM, and others).
*Meperidine (Demerol) interacts with HAWAIIAN BABY WOODROSE
Hawaiian baby woodrose increases a chemical in the brain called serotonin. Meperidine (Demerol) can also increase serotonin in the brain.
