Nu bliver det lidt off topic, men jeg vil gerne lige have lov til at gøre rede for min tidligere udtalelse.

Hvilke giftstoffer snakker i om? HVA?!?!
Hvordan kan man tale om at giftstofferne "teoretisk" ikke er opløselige i vand, når ingen aner hvilke giftstoffer det drejer sig om?
Da jeg skrev det var min tanke at da man undgår bivirkninger ved ekstrakt måtte giftstofferne være svært opløselige i polære væsker, men at der alligevel vil opløses lidt.
Jeg fandt det her ved at google lidt rundt, jeg skal ikke kunne sige noget om kildens pålidelighed, men jeg syntes alligevel lige i skal se den.
It is the opinion of many seasoned recreational users that all such seeds contain cyanogenic glucosides. These oxidise readily into cyanide compounds when exposed to the air. In low doses, the body can eventually rid itself of such poisons, but inadvertently taking higher doses can result in symptoms (in no particular order) such as nausea, bluing of the fingers, body load, stomach cramps, leg cramps, vascular constriction, blood vessel damage, elevated heart rate, strong physical and mental lethargy.
There are references to cyanogenic glucosides in other more familiar seeds - such as apple and watermelon - but there appears to be no definitive source for LSA containing seeds. Some of the above symptoms may, of course, actually be caused by the action of the LSA itself.
Some sources also suggest that some seeds may also contain trace elements of strychnine and others suggest that the nausea sometimes associated with the seeds is caused by essential oils within the seeds, but this is generally hearsay.

Removing the outer husk is thought to reduce the likelihood of associated symptoms. Preparation in alcohol is also thought to help, although this is unconvincing especially if pulverising occurs before soaking (dry). Many have suggested using non-polar solvents but these are unlikely to help because LSA and cyanide are both primarily polar-soluble.
