I'm sure you'll need an ID to buy flower seeds soon.

Teens Hospitalized With Hallucinations After Eating Seeds

POSTED: 11:57 am PDT June 9, 2005

OXNARD, Calif. -- Four Oxnard High School students were hospitalized Monday night after ingesting morning glory flower seeds in an effort to hallucinate, police said.

The three boys made tea and sandwiches with the seeds after hearing about their LSD-like effect from friends and the Internet.

The boys ate so many of the seeds that they did hallucinate, but they also suffered heart rates as high as 140 beats per minute, one of their mother's said.

Three of the boys were admitted at Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura, and one was not released until Wednesday, the mother said.

Four cases of hallucinating from ingesting morning glory seeds have been reported to the California Poison Control System this year, said

Dr. Judy Alsop, a pharmacist with the California Poison Control System, said four cases of hallucinating from ingesting morning glory seeds have been reported so far this year. While the seeds can kill laboratory rats, Alsop said it would be difficult for a human to ingest enough seeds to die.

The flower's seeds contain a compound much like the one found in LSD that causes visual hallucinations that can last for hours. The climbing plant grows readily in California.

I would have assumed that morning glory seeds were an integral part of the Viagra formula.

Oh yeah we were all over that in college.  Mandrake root too.  Problem with morning glory seeds is that nearly all commercial brands are treated to make dumbfuck hippies like us get sick when eaten.  So we dumbfuck hippies grew our own.  And the girls thought we were sexing up the rent house for them.

Ah hippie chicks.  /fond

Shit, you can have the morning glory that grows all over my yard.  That stuff grows faster than I can kill it.

Yah, me too (except we did it in high school). I used to collect the seeds to avoid the poisoning. Also, Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds and San Pedro cactus were readily available at the herb store. Did anyone ever eat a whole can of nutmeg? I was too scared of the horrible hangover to try it.

This explains a lot of posts.

Hey, I never smoke it!

I won't rule out the possibility of getting buzzed from the herbicide residues, tho...
