[edit] clarification

The statement that morning glory seeds are 5-10 percent as potent as LSD doesn't really make sense to me. Is LSA that potent? Or Something? What is the objective standard here. I think that needs a citation and restatement. User:awaggener

I'm pretty sure that it is the LSA that is that potent. Look at erowid under LSA Cloaked Dagger 13:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I am so offended!!! No one realised that the morning glory is the national flower of Korea, and also is the name of an awesome import store chain? Blueaster 07:29, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cyanogenic Glycoside Content

Does anyone know any references for the cyanogenic glycoside content of morning glory seeds? My suspicion is that the reason the majority of people get violently ill is that the seeds contain a precursor to cyanide, which results in similar effects to those reported on erowid and it's links about morning glory seeds. Any comments? Vaaht 19:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

If you happen to know your chemistry you could research extraction techniques for morning glory seeds. Specific separation techniques using polar and non-polar solvents result in the separation of two different chemicals (or groups). One is responsible for vomiting (according to anecdotal evidence) and the other is responsible for the headache/fisheye effect. You may be able to tell whether or not cyanogenic glycoside could possibly be one of those chemicals. From what i've read, the nausea chemical is soluble in non-polar solvents... glycosides are polar, I think, so that couldn't be it? I'm really not too sure, just trying to give you some leads.

[edit] morning glory - invasive

Unfortunately, tho lovely, the morning glory is so invasive that it has taken over all of the flower beds and is now traversing the lawn. Is there any way to eradicate this plant?

[edit] Expansion

This page seems to be overly obsessed about the entheogenic qualities of morning glory. I don't really know much about the flowers, or have sources of information so I can't do much for this article. I'm just saying this plant should have a page of comparable quality to other flowers and plants instead of being random trivia and a portal for druggies.Mx. Terra 00:22, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

oops, my earlier comment was false. morning glory is the name of a korean-based chain store, but its not the moogoonghwa. that is actually the rose of sharon. Blueaster 05:52, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
