Morning Glory Seeds

The seeds of the morning glory (Ipomoea) contain substances that are similar to those in lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), a hallucinogenic drug. People who eat morning glory seeds may feel different. However, the experience is not identical to an LSD-type "trip," even though the seeds are sold on the street as an LSD equivalent. Morning glory seeds are easy to purchase legally, but many varieties available in garden-supply stores have been treated with insecticides and other toxic chemicals that will induce vomiting if the seeds are eaten.
