Morning glory (Ipomoea spp.) is a member of the Convolvulaceae family, and =
this plant (especially the seeds) contains hallucinogenic alkaloids similar=
to lysergic acid, or LSD. If enough of this plant material is ingested, si=
gnificant and potentially even life-threatening central nervous system effe=
