Alkaloids in the soil?

I would postulate that soil with wild growth of ipomoea and paspalum pair clusters for example would have a high potential for ergoloids. Ethanol and a micron filter studied in the dark with a range of uv light and wavelengths might show interesting results. Just an idea.

In a morning glory the lysergic's glow white/blue to teal green but in paspalum they often glow highlighter orange or pink or even red.

Ergot Alkaloids at Doses Close to EU Regulatory Limits Induce Alterations of the Liver and Intestine

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5983239/

In conclusion, in term of animal health, our data indicate that feed contaminated at the regulatory limits induces lesions in liver and intestine suggesting that this limit should be lowered for pigs. In term of human health, we establish a lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) of 100 μg/kg body weight (bw) per day, lower than the benchmark dose limit (BMDL) retained by European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to set the tolerable daily intake, suggesting also that regulatory limit should be revised.

Ergot Wine -Cole

From the book "Lysergic" by Krystle Cole

Chapter 17 THE BLOOD OF CHRIST

Todd knelt down, holding an ornately decorated gold chalice. A magnificent piece to behold, exquisite. It pulsated with energy and spirituality. “Sherom Teleqot Masecot,” he began his prayers in ancient Chaldean, and then moved on to a higher prayer. “Ebatone Neahmeh Nohhoaayow...” the language of the gods. Reverent peacefulness engulfed him as the words came forth. He turned to face me and drank several large gulps. Then bowed his head in silence as he passed me the chalice.

“What is it?” I was totally caught by surprise; we had not planned on tripping for awhile. Things had been far too crazy lately.

“It’s ancient wine. Just try a sip.”

“I don’t know...” I didn’t want to have a repeat of my DMT experience. My mind wasn’t as prepared as it should be prior to a journey. Also, I had never seen him this spiritual before a trip. He never prayed or used a chalice any other time. Usually he would non-ceremonially weigh out the doses on his lab scale, and then simply pass them out. No ceremony, no prayers. Why the sudden change?

“Just try a small sip. It is time for you to be initiated into the order, you’re ready.
But I would kneel and say a prayer first if I was you. This one must be taken very seriously.” His head bowed slightly but he still kept eye contact.

I was curious so I knelt down, even though my instincts were telling me not to.
What order? The brotherhood maybe? And what was in the chalice? It couldn’t really be ancient wine, could it? I examined the liquid; it looked and smelled just like red wine.
Why not? I cautiously drank a small sip. It was thinner than normal wine and had a woody taste. The most interesting part was the way it tingled as it went down.

A warming sensation filled my throat and stomach. “Okay I drank some, now what is it?”

“It’s Ergot wine.” He smiled slyly, knowing he had gotten one over on me.

“ERGOT WINE! Oh my God!” I was in shock. “Ergot can kill people. I wouldn’t have taken it if I would have known what it was. It’s St. Anthony’s fire! It can make you lose body parts if you touch it! Oh, my God!” My head was spinning. How could he have not warned me?

“I knew you would react like this, that’s why I just told you to drink it. You get so afraid sometimes. There is no need to be; you are safe.” A slight giggle escaped from his lungs.

“Are you sure it’s safe? Where did you get it?” My heart was racing.

“I made it when I was younger. I did an alcohol wash of the ergot fungus with the wine. Then I corked the bottles up and stored them. The ergot fungus will feed on the sugars in the wine, giving it the woody taste. I let them age for about ten years. It is best to wait a little longer, but I felt it was an appropriate time to open one anyway.
Every year it ages, it will become a little less potent and easier to control the dose.”

“How do you know what a safe dose is?” I was skeptical.

“Ergot is a fungus and a precursor for LSD. Ergot is interesting because we really don’t know what happens to the alkaloid concentration over time. It moves around, changes. So the dose is guesswork.”

“Isn’t Ergot what Socrates used to take at Eleusis?” I thought it was kind of cool to be taking something that the founders of our democracy used to take, but that our current democracy has made illegal.

“Yes, except for he did a water infusion of the ergot, instead of alcohol.”

“I can feel it already.” I took a deep breathe but couldn’t ease my anxiety. “My chest feels tight and my heart is racing.” My heart had never beaten that fast. “My hands feel like they’re going numb. Are you sure I am going to be okay?” As I lay back onto the floor, to relax my chest became tighter, heavy. I started coughing and gasping for air.
Time passed, I don’t know how much.

“Here take a Valium. You will be alright, just breath sweety.” He handed me the pill. Then picked up the chalice again and kneeled down beside me. He took several large gulps. After it was empty, he turned it upside down to show me that there wasn’t any left. “See it’s safe. You only drank a sip! Look how much I took!”

“But you can handle a lot more than me; you are three times my size!” I weighed about 110 pounds and stood about 5’8”. Todd on the other hand was a giant at 6’5”, weighing somewhere around 275 pounds.

“Come on, let’s go lay down on the bed where it is more comfortable.” He reached down and grabbed my hand, helping me up off the floor.

The visuals were really starting to kick in now. They were thick and heavy like my breathe. Dark colors, red, purple, and blue. They overtook me; I could no long see my hand when I held it up in front of my face. A different world existed inside of me. A liquid oceanic playground for the mind. Would I come back from this space? Spiraling thoughts that made no sense. Fear of the unknown. Would I be okay?

My chest still felt heavy but I sat upright which seemed to make it a little better.
My heart started to throb slightly. Every few breathes, I felt a sharp twinge along with the throb. Was the ergot causing the chest pain or was I? Was I having an anxiety attack? How could I tell the difference between a real pain and one that I manifested with my mind?

Instinctually, I started to chant my calming mantra, “Telelelelah-luu Letetwah,” over and over again. I rocked with the words. “Telelelelah-luu Letetwah.” I held my hands up, palms facing each other in prayer. The L’s rolled off my tongue and took on new depth. They sounded like the echo of a thousand birds flapping their wings in the air. The mantra held me and kept me safe, like when a mother holds a child. I was going home to safe territory.

I began to sing songs from my soul, rooted deep within the divine. The songs carried me away with them, teaching me about the universe. At one point I saw the double-helixes of DNA swirling out of my mouth along with the words. Language gave birth to being. That’s how I interpreted it anyway. Time was dilating. How long had I been floating on the breath of the universe?

Todd came into the room as I was floating back. “Oh, don’t stop sweety. It’s beautiful.”

I was unsure about singing in front of him, so I backed off a bit. I chanted for a while, trying not to make a fool out of myself. I had to sound like a crazed lunatic singing gibberish! Every now and then I would look over at him trying to gauge his reaction. He was sitting up, facing me, and getting very into it. His reaction was similar to Half-pints reaction. They were actually enjoying it! When I would stop he would look up disappointed, and think ‘start again’ or ‘keep going’. This went on for a while as time slowed.

I started to see holographic symbols, floating in a circle around Todd’s head. I had never seen symbols before in a trip. They were translucent almost like glass. Empty space had taken on a form. They constantly rotated, allowing me to see all of their sides.

A few of them looked like symbols from the zodiac. Others looked like Sanskrit, or Arabic. Some I have nothing to compare them to. Where did they come from? What did they mean?

Events started to become circular. “I feel like am singing, seeing, and going to the same places over and over again.”

“Oh, you’re stuck in the loop! It will just keep going, and eventually you’ll come out of it.” He lay back and closed his eyes.

Around and around I went, time moved in a circle.
Over and over and over again. Over and over and over again. Over and over and over again. Over and over and over again. Over and over and over again. Over and over and over again.

Finally I popped out the other side. It felt like eons had passed. I lay down beside Todd, cuddling up close to him. He and I were one, one body, one mind. We no longer needed to speak; linguistic devices were a hindrance to us now. We knew each others thoughts as we thought them. We could feel the depth of each other’s love. It is an incredible gift from the universe to feel existence with no boundaries or doubts. One soul, at home once again.

We felt as if we knew everything, all the knowledge of the universe was at our fingertips. We were at the top of the cosmos, the simultaneous beginning and end, the eternal godhead. We could see in all directions at once.

My future and past were connected to my dreams. I started having unusual dreams around the age of eight. These dreams would reveal a sequence of events in my future. They were easy to distinguish from normal dreams because they had a different texture. More real. However, I never could tell when in the future they would occur. It could be in one month or two years. Whenever the event sequence did happen though, it felt like a deshavu. I could see now that this phenomenon was me remembering who I am. Me remembering who and what we all are, divine co-creators.

Then the loop happened again. Around and around and around I went. Over and over and over again. Over and over and over again. Over and over and over again.

Again I came out the other side. This little voice in the back of my head, kept saying “your heart isn’t beating right.” It was strange. I felt as if my heart would sort of stop and I would roll out, far out into the ocean of the divine. Then I would feel/hear a loud bang and it would start beating again, really fast this time. I would in turn surf back in on the same wave that took me out. This whole sensation happened several times. I rolled in and out with the waves of universal consciousness.

It turns out that Todd actually was beating on my chest. But he didn’t tell me about it until I came down. I guess my heart really was stopping, or at least slowing down! I think this is the closest I have ever been to death. There was safety in death, total security. Death is nothing more than a shift of cosmic life energy. Fear filled me and then I would let go, sort of release myself to it. My new/old form, God, overtook me.
Love and happiness held me tight. It is almost like a caterpillar hatching out of its cocoon and turning into a butterfly.

“Here sweety, chew this up. It’s another Valium. Your heart is beating way to fast. You need to calm down. Try to take deep breathes.”

“Okay.” I couldn’t really talk; I was too high. I tried to breath, deep and slow. It seemed to help a little. I was afraid of overdosing. “It feels like my heart is stopping.”

“You’re okay, just breath. And drink some of this juice to keep your blood sugar up.” He handed me a glass and watched to make sure I didn’t drop it. I drank some of the juice and cuddled up next to him again.

How long had we been tripping for? I felt like I was ancient, floating on the cosmic time/space folds. Time and space are illusions, only here for our amusement. At the base of all being we are all one evolving consciousness. And we are all incarnations of that same self-reflecting divinity.

LSH or Lysergic acid hydroxyethylamide & penniclavine, 2 highest ingredients in claviceps paspali ergot & morning glory seeds, compared to LSD chart and 5 hours of tetrahydroharmine + DMT Ayahuasca visions, journey trip report

5 hours of DMT visions with 60mg DMT complexed to 420mg HPBCD, held under tongue for 15 minutes x redosed every 2 hours & took 300mg THH one hour before

LSH & penniclavine, 2 highest ingredients in claviceps paspali ergot & morning glory seeds compared to LSD

300mg tetrahydroharmine (2nd highest ingredient in Caapi) taken orally once 1 hour before, then 60mg DMT complexed to 420mg HPBCD sublingual report dosed x once, then again every 2 hours.

Full Journey trip report:

Keep in mind using DMT salts sublingually does not work, and the sting is terrible. The HPBCD complexed DMT works extremely well, the outer water soluble sugary like tasting HPBCD keeps the freebase DMT trapped inside it's non-polar cone, so as the complex sits under the tongue for 15 minutes...

...you only feel a mild sting for around 10 minutes as the HPBCD releases the DMT directly into the bloodstream from the mucosa membrane under the tongue (only 100 microns thick) as the freebase, only as the freebase will it reach from the bloodstream to the brain with maximum effects. I don't have all the answers, I only know it works extremely well. The tongue is completely fine after, and it's as if nothing happened the next day, 100% no scarring or burning, totally normal.

Be sure to press down with tongue the whole time to trap the sticky complex in the sublingual mucosa.

Give this a try...follow 2 step instructions, 60mg DMT complexed to 420mg HPBCD with 2 minutes mashing on a spoon with 10 drops very hot near boiling water and poured under tongue, use your finger to rub any liquid from the spoon under your tongue as well, in case any is left...and hold for 15 minutes, begins to work in only 10 minutes...at the end of the 15 minutes, I spit out any saliva that's collected in mouth into a cup instead of swallowing, for me this has been less than 1/4oz or around less than 15ml saliva.

...and is VERY STRONG...I experienced 90 minutes of very strong effects, pupil dilation maxed out, heavy CEV imagery, open eyed beauty profound, music sounds incredible...feels identical to if I had taken 60mg DMT complexed to HPBCD orally with 200mg harmine with 300mg THH, of course I always take 300mg THH orally any time I do this using the sublingual DMT.

I recommend not using more than 250mg of THH if it is your first time. 250mg of THH causes zero dizziness and ZERO nausea, but 300mg will cause a tiny bit of dizziness for a short time if you are not used to it. I am used to it, so I get no dizziness at 300mg.

The effects were so INCREDIBLE, I RE-DOSED 60mg of DMT complexed to 420mg HPBCD x two more times the same night, every 2 hours...it was the bomb...I was in 7th heaven...

...never before have I had such insane visuals all night long...all the way till 5am in the morning I was seeing closed eye visions of slow and high speed movies...I saw brightly colored serpents, dungeons I traveled thru, many Mesoamerican pyramids, women of incredible beauty, Japanese landscapes, dancing geometrics, many different animals on a rotating globe, walking on the planet-like globe as it spun, hundreds of visions like slow and high-speed movies over the course of many hours.

I saw the interiors of many magnificent homes, exposed like a camera flash went off, then off to the next home interior, bizarre alien looking creatures, I saw ancient ruins but they were seen as they were before they fell apart. All sorts of architectural wonders appeared that I could not make out exactly what time period they were from.

All the visions were enchanting & manifested incredible beauty. The multi-colored beautiful serpents kept appearing several times in different forms, as if they have some prominence to do with it all, two of them had shining skin covered in gold scales and intertwined like DNA, reminds me of the Aztec quetzalcoatl myth, the "serpent of precious feathers."

...all of these visions were brightly colored due to the DMT and THH combo all night long..it was one of the most powerful psychedelic experiences of my life...and I've taken Ayahuasca x 70 times, cactus 200 times, etc...I have never had over 5 hours of non-stop CEV visions anything close to what I saw the other night...I was blown away, and will be thinking about this for a very long time...this sublingual DMT along with 300mg THH taken orally 1 hour before is my absolute favorite...there is no nausea...I wore headphones and listened to music the whole time, as the music sounded just like if I had taken a very strong cactus tea...out of this world good...I had non-stop closed eye visions all night long, insane visions...totally blown away.

I love the "oral 250 to 300mg THH + sublingual 420mg HPBCD complexed to 60mg DMT administration" as there is a complete lack of "queasiness feeling during the journey", perhaps because there is no harmine/DMT going thru the stomach & intestines...I don't know the answer for sure, but I like it.

Remember, I took 300mg of THH once early on, then every 2 hours I took 60mg of DMT complexed to 420mg of HPBCD sticky liquid under my tongue for 15 minutes held...so I took it x 3 times...one of the most visionary entheogenic experiences of my life.

Ergot-induced musings.

For the future. Some musings. Will add to it as time passes.

$Quantum Basic$

Black/White

..................

Plus/Minus

And you can create something short with light and dark(the visual representation of) but it requires squirreling up the Plus/Minus. So then you get an electromagnetic swirl. A non tangible with a tangible result. Because it's ordered so, the heirarchy, the Order of Nature, yin/yang.

Not sure if Plus/Minus in an EM respect are the true fit for Black and White. Just know that this can create things. This is how something intangible such as an idea, can have a tangible physical weight and/or impact.

"Alikes" is not synonymous with "the same".

$The Entourage Effect$

The resultant effect from a unified order of alikes. Creation of a unknown new future at the cost of destroying an older known past.

Entourage is the net of the action of Entanglement.

$Scribbles to be Transcribed$

There is a scientific truth to the universe that if I carved in stone, a thousand years later would be realized as a relegious fantasy. This is merely the opposition against something amazing and rare happening. We should strive to properly realize, beat the odds. It seems to be our purpose in this instance.

Ergot>Periglandula

https://pubag.nal.usda.gov/download/62991/PDF "Defensive Symbiosis: Bioactive alkaloids in vertically transmitted fungal endophytes"

Prior to the discovery of Periglandula species, the occurrence of ergot alkaloids in the Convolvulaceae was thought to be a case of convergent evolution or horizontal gene transfer (Steiner, Hellwig & Leistner 2008). Although published evidence for Periglandula species colonization has been provided for only three species of Convolvulaceae, ergot alkaloids are known to occur in many more species in this diverse plant family (Eich 2008), each of which likely harbours a species of Periglandula.

Periglandula is the expression of Ergot, modified by Host Structure.

Interestingly, loline and ergot alkaloids have been detected in the seeds and foliage of one species, Argyreia mollis(Tofernet al.1999), suggesting Periglandula may also produce other classes of secondary metabolites found in other Clavicipitaceae. There have been no published reports from the Convolvulaceae of the other two major classes of clavicipitaceous secondary metabolites–indole-diterpenes and peramine–although we do not know of any studies that explicitly tested for them. There are, however, reports of tremorgenic symptoms in livestock caused by grazing of foliage from ergot alkaloid-positive Convolvulaceae, specifically caused by sheep feeding on Ipomoea muelleriin Australia (Gardiner, Royce & Oldroyd 1965)and sheep and cattle feeding on I. asarifolia in Brazil(Araújoet al.2008). Livestock grazing on grasses containing indole-diterpenes also suffer from tremorgenic symptoms (Belesky & Bacon 2009). Because the tremoring symptoms were caused by grazing on these two ergot alkaloid-positive species (one of which is host to P. ipomoeae), the possibility that some Periglandula species produce indole-diterpenes should be investigated.

The livestock staggers is a real and valid link towards finding other sources of these natural alkaloids. It is how I encountered dallisgrass, and the resultant trip I had from it. More info here: https://projects.ncsu.edu/forage/dallis.htm

Identification and characterization of the ergochrome gene cluster in the plant pathogenic fungus Claviceps purpurea

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5611617/

Besides these ergot alkaloids little is known about the secondary metabolism of the fungus. Red anthraquinone derivatives and yellow xanthone dimers (ergochromes) have been isolated from sclerotia and described as ergot pigments, but the corresponding gene cluster has remained unknown.

This study identified the gene cluster responsible for the synthesis of the ergot pigments.

This is the first functional analysis of a secondary metabolite gene cluster in the ergot fungus besides that for the classical ergot alkaloids. We demonstrated that this gene cluster is responsible for the typical purple-black color of the ergot sclerotia and showed that the red and yellow ergot pigments are products of the same biosynthetic pathway

Can we reconstruct Kykeon

For anyone who does not know Kykeon was a psychedelic beverage used by ancient Greeks. Literally anyone whos someone had taken it. You were allowed to take it only once in a lifetime in the Mysteries hosted for goddess Dimitra. It is believed it was made using ergot. I been wanting to reconstruct it but idk where to start.

Latest research on morning glory & claviceps paspali ergot LSH, Lysergic acid hydroxyethylamide, December 2020 update

https://preview.redd.it/tyzeh727z6461.jpg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=707b57c4505dad00f781766b8522f3edeed66edc

I also grow morning glory on a fence that receives morning sun and a few hours of afternoon sun, besides my 2 round planters.

If you look closely, you can see the eyelet screws (*almart hundreds of them in hardware section for cheap) spaced 7" apart horizontally, and clear fishing string strung between the eyelet screws, so that the morning glory can grow on the fence easily. You can also see the remnants of the dried seeds pods that produced the black hard seeds I picked. Next year I'm growing pearly gates on this fence as the 1975 study found double the alkaloids of heavenly blue. The fence works great as the vine fills the entire fence with attractive flowers from bottom to top. At the bottom, I simply dug into the earth and created a mix of 3/4 miracle grow to 1/4 cow manure compost along with some earth added back in along with a handful or so of perlite for drainage.

The application of NPK fertilizer (miracle grow) + composted cattle manure increased crop yield by 48.9% compared to NPK fertilizer alone ---> from 2017 Frontiers in Microbiology, 05 Sept 2017 "Composted Cattle Manure Increases Microbial Activity and Soil Fertility." Some users report that their plants grew three times in size once they added miracle grow soil to their existing potting soil.

For highest lysergic acid amide content in the seeds, it is recommended to add 1 tablespoon miracle grow powder to one gallon watering can with spout and feed only once per month during growing season. Fresh picked off the vine seeds are best. Vaccum pack and freeze freshly picked seeds or seeds bought direct from grower to preserve their high LSH potency indefinitely, as LSH decomposes over time to LSA naturally if not temp controlled. LSH also decomposes in neutral (plain water), when heated or in alkaline water. Therefore extract into acidified water or wine (already at ph=4). There can be up to a 16 fold variation in the psychoactive potency of seeds, as the species has a range between .005% and .079% total indole alkaloids. Use good soil with fertilizing once a month for highest psychoactive potency.

From "The Elixir: an Alchemical Study of the Ergot Mushrooms":

Quote:

The ancient civilization of Greece centered around the religious ceremonies conducted annually in the Eleusinian temple in Athens. According to Aristotle, the mystery at Eleusis was something experienced rather than something learned. There were two rituals performed at Eleusis, the first was the "Lesser Mystery," in which the participants were given a libation of wine containing ergot, and the "Greater Mystery," during which the initiates were given wine containing ergot, and experienced a collective vision of the Mother Goddess Persephone.

ALBERT HOFMANN writes in his contribution to The Road to Eleusis that this finding may prove to be of the utmost importance in considering WASSON'S question: the main alkaloids isolated from claviceps paspali ergot of Paspalum distichum grass (seldom growing on barley) are the same as those found in the ancient Mexican sacred drug ololiuqui, i.e. ergine and Lysergic acid Hydroxyethylamide (LSH). In his opinion the Paspalum-ergot hypothesis is much more probable than the barley-ergot hypothesis, as it is well established that these alkaloids have psychedelic activity. In the psychedelic usage of seeds of Convolvulaceae he sees the convincing proof that the Paspalum-ergot hypothesis is tenable (HOFMANN, 1994).

Several papers published in the 1960's (see post #24) show claviceps paspali ergot produces not only large amounts of the stimulating LSH but also a handful of other stimulating LSD like alkaloids just like the Mexican morning glory: penniclavine, agroclavine, elymoclavine, chanoclavine. These alkaloids all work together using teamwork to hit most of the same receptors LSD hits, along with 5 new ones (5 more adrenal receptors) that LSD does not even target:

New book on ergotized beer relic & 2 new threads concerning new research on 5 stimulating LSD like alkaloids in the Greek claviceps paspali & the Aztec morning glory, including new 2020 receptorome binding data comparing LSH (found in both) & agroclavine/penniclavine with LSD.

Paspalum grass infected with claviceps paspali

  1. New research: Morning glory contains 5 stimulating LSD-like drugs & brand new 2020 receptorome binding data for LSH compared with LSD (post #7):

See post #24 above " Has the Mystery of the Eleusinian Mysteries been solved ?"

  1. Potent LSH and penniclavine fresh from morning glory and relation to Eleusis in ancient Greece:

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26838327

Claviceps paspali is known to infect the paspalum grass which grows in the famous Rarian plane adjacent to Eleusis in ancient Greece where the ceremonies were held for hundreds of initiates to drink a sacred entheogenic brew for over 2,000 years, which if was a solution of claviceps paspali ergot, contains the exact same psychedelic alkaloid profile as the Mexican Aztec morning glory seeds.

It could have been used directly in powdered form. The priest need simply powder the ergot from the infected grass, soak in wine, filter thru cloth to get rid of debris, then drink the resulting wine which contains all 5 of the stimulating LSD like drugs.

New research shows that LSH in the seeds or ergot only survives when extracted into acidic medium like wine or beer or acidified water, it decomposes to LSA almost immediately when extracted into plain cold water (neutral water). It is the teamwork of penniclavine and agroclavine in the seeds or ergot with the LSH that is special, as THEN and only then does it hit all the same receptors LSD hits, and even 5 extra one's that LSD does not even hit (see 1st link above, post #7).

Anyone who is into ergot or morning glory seeds, I highly recommend reading the book.

...contains info on ancient ERGOTIZED BEER relic uncovered for the 1st time! Tons of info on Eleusis, psychedelic ergot, etc.

This new book presents the hard archeological evidence substantiating the LSD-like chemical presence in the Eleusinian and Dionysian Mysteries, which carried on for thousands of years, reappearing in democratized form as the Eucharist in the mystery cult of early Christianity before its suppression under the Roman Empire.
