Morning Glories

There are over 1000 species of morning glory in the family Convolvulaceae, belonging to the following genera:

* Calystegia
* Convolvulus
* Ipomoea
* Merremia
* Rivea

The seeds of many species of morning glory contain d-lysergic acid amide also known as LSA. Heavenly Blue Morning Glory’s are a well known species that contain LSA. This differs from LSD only in that it has a NH2 where LSD has a N(C2H5)2, but LSD is some 50 to 100 times as potent.

Heavenly Blue (I. violacea) alkaloid percentages:

* d-Lysergic acid amide (ergine) = 0.035%
* d-Isolysergic acid amide (isoergine) = 0.005%
* Chanoclavine = 0.005%
* Elymoclavine = 0.005%
* Lysergol =—%
* Ergometrine = 0.005%
* Total alkaloids = 0.060%

Ergometrine has uterus-stimulating properties. DO NOT USE IF PREGNANT!
