Morning Glory (Ipomoea spp.)
Morning Glory Information
Morning Glory is a common name of the family of plants known by the botanical name Convolvulaceae (or Convulvulaceae). Morning Glory is also the name given to a group of over one thousand different species of plants, based on similar characteristics.
Although most of the plants in the Convolvulaceae family are in the morning glory group, there are some plants in the family that are not. All members of the group known as morning glory plants are part of the Convolvulaceae family, but they are found in five different genera.
Ipomoea is the largest genus in the Convolvulaceae family, it is made up of over 500 species of plants. The information on this page is about the few morning glory plants in the Ipomoea genus that have seeds that are used for psychoactive purposes.
Scientific Classification Of Ipomoea
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Solanales
Family: Convolvulaceae
Genus: Ipomoea
Most of the plants referred to as morning glory are not psychoactive, but there are plants in the Ipomoea genus that produce seeds that contain ergot-like alkaloids which are very similar to LSD in chemical structure.
Ipomoea seeds that contain ergot-like alkaloids have been used for hundreds of years in Central America as a hallucinogen. The hallucinogenic seeds were consumed by the Aztecs who called them tlitliltzin.
Seeds will retain their original potency for about a year when stored in a dark place that is dry and cool. After about a year, they will start to lose strength, but can still be used.
How To Use Morning Glory Seeds
First you have to get seeds that are not treated with some kind of chemical that makes ingesting them unpleasant or dangerous. Seeds are sometimes specifically treated to discourage people from using them as a mind altering substance.
You can buy safe untreated morning glory seeds here. They ship from the USA to most countries. The seeds are 100% legal almost everywhere (including the USA). Look for crimson ramblers, flying saucers, heavenly blue, or pearly gates (they are the ones that contain the highest concentrations of psychoactive chemicals).
The main active chemical found in the seeds of morning glory plants that produce mind altering effects is commonly called LSA (chemical name lysergic acid amide). LSA produces effects that are very similar to LSD (chemical name lysergic acid diethylamide), although there are subtle differences.
To get an idea of what to expect, read some of the experiences written by morning glory seed users. As with LSD, good and bad experiences are possible. The best way to ensure positive results is pay attention to proper set and setting.
The most common way of ingesting morning glory seeds for their psychoactive effect is to grind them with a mortar and pestle (or something else that will do the same job). You can mix the ground up seeds in some water and consume them like that, or put them in gelatin capsules.
There are about 40 morning glory seeds per gram of material. The first time you try them, about 80 seeds or 2 grams should be consumed. If you do not feel much, increase the dose by 80 seeds (2 grams) each time you try (wait 5 days between attempts), until you find a dose size you like.
Ingestion of morning glory seeds will cause some amount of nausea in most people. Anyone interested in isolating LSA in a more pure form (in order to minimize nausea and other problems) may wish to preform an LSA extraction.
All parts of the morning glory plant are legal in the USA but extracted LSA is a controlled (illegal for most people) substance. Persons residing in the US (and other countries where LSA is illegal) should refrain from any type of extraction because of the legal restrictions.
Like hawaiian baby woodrose and ololiuqui seeds (which also both contain LSA), morning glory seeds that contain LSA should not taken by pregnant women because they may cause a miscarriage. These types of seeds may also cause problems, and should not be consumed by people with liver problems like hepatitis and jaundice.
