Morning Glory Benefits & Information
Morning glory are the tiny, dark-colored seeds of the morning glory plant. While morning glory have been used traditionally in various cultures for their medicinal properties, they are also known for their psychoactive effects. Here are some of the potential benefits of morning glory:
- Psychoactive Effects: Morning Glory contain ergot alkaloids, known to have psychoactive effects similar to LSD. These alkaloids can produce vivid visual and auditory hallucinations, altered perception of time, and profound changes in mood and thought.
- Mood Enhancement: The psychoactive effects of morning glory seeds may also lead to mood enhancement, euphoria, and increased sociability. Many people who have used morning glory seeds report feeling more positive, creative, and energetic.
- Spiritual Exploration: Morning glory have a long history of use in spiritual and religious ceremonies. Some people believe that the psychoactive effects of the seeds can help them explore their spirituality, connect with a higher power, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
- Pain Relief: Some cultures use morning glory seeds as a natural pain reliever. The alkaloids in the seeds have been shown to have analgesic properties and may help to reduce pain and inflammation.
However, it's important to note that using morning glory seeds for their psychoactive effects can also have potential risks and side effects, including nausea, vomiting, headache, and other unpleasant symptoms. In addition, using morning glory seeds for recreational or spiritual purposes is illegal in many countries. Therefore, it is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before using morning glory.
