Ololiuqui

What is Rivea Corymbosa?

Rivea Corymbosa, also known as Ololiuqui, is a plant species in the “Morning Glory” family. Native to Mexico, its seeds are renowned for their psychoactive and medicinal properties. The seeds contain Lysergic Acid Amide (LSA), a natural compound that induces psychedelic effects similar to LSD but without the intense hallucinations. Instead, it offers a gradual, introspective experience often used for meditation, self-discovery, or visionary journeys.

The Aztecs were among the first to use Rivea Corymbosa, referring to the seeds as “Ololiuqui,” meaning “round seed.” They believed the seeds helped connect with higher realms, facilitating spiritual and self-awareness. Today, Rivea Corymbosa is sought by those wishing to explore altered states of consciousness.

History of Rivea Corymbosa

Rivea Corymbosa has a long history of use in Mesoamerican cultures, particularly among the Aztecs. The seeds were consumed in sacred ceremonies for shamanic purposes, including divination, introspection, and knowledge-seeking. The Aztecs used the seeds in rituals to enter altered states of consciousness, allowing shamans to receive visions, divine insights, and connect with the divine.

Although its origins trace back to ancient Mexico, Rivea Corymbosa continues to hold spiritual significance today. The plant has seen a resurgence in popularity, especially in alternative wellness and psychedelic communities, as people seek its psychoactive and spiritual benefits.

How to Use Rivea Corymbosa

To use Rivea Corymbosa seeds for their psychoactive effects, follow a traditional method involving grinding the seeds and soaking them in warm water to activate the LSA compound.

Preparation Process:

1. Start with a small quantity: Around 12 to 22 seeds.
2. Grind the seeds: Use a fine grind for better extraction of active compounds.
3. Soak the ground seeds: Place the powder in lukewarm water and let it soak for several hours.
4. Drink the water: After soaking, consume the water along with the softened seeds. Some users prefer chewing the seeds, but this can cause discomfort, so caution is advised.

The effects take about an hour to set in and last around 8 hours. For the best experience, consume Rivea Corymbosa in a calm, peaceful environment conducive to introspection and vision-based experiences.

Warning

Rivea Corymbosa should be used with caution and in moderation. Overconsumption may lead to side effects such as nausea or vomiting, especially for those not accustomed to psychoactive substances. Begin with a low dose and increase gradually if needed. Always ensure you are in a safe and comfortable environment when using this plant.

Ingredients of Rivea Corymbosa

The primary active ingredient in Rivea Corymbosa is Lysergic Acid Amide (LSA), which is structurally similar to LSD. Unlike LSD, LSA induces a more introspective, calming psychedelic experience, often described as a gentle, mind-altering journey rather than intense visual hallucinations.

In addition to LSA, the seeds contain a variety of alkaloids and other compounds that contribute to the overall psychoactive experience. These compounds affect the gradual onset of effects, which last for several hours. The exact composition of the seeds and their interaction with the body remain subjects of ongoing research, adding to the intrigue of this plant.

Warning

Always follow recommended dosages to avoid negative effects. Excessive consumption can lead to nausea, vomiting, or overwhelming sensations.
