Getting high from morning glory seeds certainly isn’t a new phenomenon — it was big back in the flower-powered ’60s — but these days teenagers looking for a cheap and easily obtained buzz are bringing it back. According to our alarmist friends at Fox News, teens are purchasing morning glory seeds in bulk, crushing them up and ingesting them for a potent high that can last up to six to nine hours. It works because the seeds contain Lysergic Acid Amide — a chemical similar in composition to LSD. “There are reports of kids thinking they can fly,” says one concerned gardener.

An extensive home experiment to find out if the seeds will have a similar effect on adults is currently planned by yours truly (check out some preparation tips here — try them at your own risk!) I’ll pass along my results as soon as I land.
