DRUG SEED PROBE
Morning Glory Under Cloud
(Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.)
LONDON, March 22.
The Pharmaceutical Society will investigate a flower seed sold throughout the country after reports that young people are using it to make an hallucination drug. The society is trying to find out whether it is being used, widely for illicit purposes. The seed, which can be bought in sixpenny packets from most seed merchants, produces Morning Glory, a blue trumpet-shaped flower.
Seeds of the plant contain one of the ingredients of L.S.D.-25, the “vision of hell” drug. The ingredient, lysergic acid, leads to spectacular and often frightening hallucinations.
