One known case involved a suicide that was reported in 1964 after ingestion of morning glory seeds. [81] Another instance is a death due to falling off of a building after ingestion of Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds and alcohol. [82] A study gave mice 3000 mg/kg with no lethal effects.

Students are ingesting a seed that can cause psychosis, auditory and visual hallucinations, spatial and temporal distortion and other side effects. Forget pot -- students use familiar method to ...
In Mexico, the only place in the world where the ingestion of morning glory seeds has an established tradition of shamanic usage, a hallucinogenic dose is said to be only thirteen seeds, a ritual amount based on religious numerology rather than chemical analysis."

The seeds of A. nervosa contain ergot alkaloids varying considerably in concentration with LSA weight ranging between exactly similar looking seeds from 3 μg to 34 μg (avg 17 μg). [17] However, in its effects, LSA is about one tenth as potent as its cousin LSD, making a threshold dose level for LSA (D-Lysergic Acid Amide) about 500 μg. [18]
It is rumored that I. tricolor seeds are coated with a chemical that induces sickness so as to dissuade people from using them as a drug, but this is probably a rumor that stems from several factors: - I. tricolor seeds, by themselves, induce sickness as a result of glycoresins [7] [8] and the very ergolines that are desired by users.

Lysergic acid, also known as D-lysergic acid and (+)-lysergic acid, is a precursor for a wide range of ergoline alkaloids that are produced by the ergot fungus and found in the seeds of Turbina corymbosa (ololiuhqui), Argyreia nervosa (Hawaiian baby woodrose), and Ipomoea tricolor (morning glories, tlitliltzin).
The most well-known ones are Ipomoea tricolor (“morning glory”), Turbina corymbosa (coaxihuitl), and Argyreia nervosa (Hawaiian baby woodrose). The more well-known analog, lysergic acid amide (syn. ergine), is more prominent in analytical results because LAH easily decomposes to ergine.
The study emphasizes the need for continued monitoring of chlormequat in foods and people, along with further research to understand its health effects at current exposure levels.
