| I've seen a few posts on oiling AR /M16s , and I never hear LSA mentioned . Years ago it was "the lube " . Was it just eclipsed by clp ? It always seemed good to me . RL |

There is newer stuff that works very well. I've been trying Tetra Lube lately. But LSA is still a good lube. I use it all the time. Been using it since 1981 on my FN. I use it on my CZ75 once in a while. I will probably get flamed, but I think LSA is some good shit. |

Lysergic Acid Amides Wonderful Discovery; Plant Sources of LSA: In 1959, the ethnobotanist Richard Schultes sent samples of a cultivated Mexican morning glory, Turbina corymbosa, to Albert Hoffman, the discoverer of LSD. Schultes had seen it used by a Zapotec shaman. In 1960, Hoffman analyzed the seeds and said they contained ergot-like alkaloids. This was hard for people to believe since previously such chemicals had only been found in the rye fungus Claviceps purpurea (ergot). But Hoffman was right; the seeds contained d-lysergic acid amide. This differs from LSD only in that it has a NH2 where LSD has a N(C2H5)2, but LSD is some 50 to 100 times as potent. The morning glory Turbina corymbosa's seeds also have other psychoactive alkaloids in them: d-isolysergic acid amide, chanoclavine, elymoclavine, and lysergol. In 1960, Don Thomes MacDougall reported that seeds of another morning glory, Ipomoea violacea were used as sacraments by certain Zapotecs, sometimes with the Turbina corymbosa seeds and sometimes not. This morning glory species is the one with familiar varieties in America: Heavenly Blue, Pearly Gates, Flying Saucers, Blue Star, Summer Skies and Wedding Bells. The Ipomoea violacea has the same psychoactive compounds in it except with ergometrine instead of lysergol. Ergometrine has strong uterus-stimulating properties so it's a really bad idea for pregnant women to eat these seeds. Also, these seeds are supposed to be bad for people with liver problems (e.g. jaundice, hepatitus). These seeds are called badoh negro down in South America, since they are black, and some people think these were the mysterious tlitliltzin, which is the Nahuatl word for "black" with a reverential suffix. Indications and Dosage (LSA (ergine) is 1/10th as Potent as LSD-25 by weight): Threshhold 0.2 mg Common 0.5- 1.5 mg Strong 1.5 - 4.0 mg Heavy 4.0 mg Do Not Dose More Than 4.0mg Onset: 2 Hours or so to peak. Duration : 10 - 14 hours Normal After Effects : up to 24 1 MG (I. violacea) seed has about 0.01mg LSA. 1 HBWR seed has about 0.25mg LSA oops wrong thread!
