We’re growing a bunch of morning glories on a string trellis thingie along the ramp up to our apartment, and I just really love it each morning seeing a handful of the day’s babies.

      You don’t want to eat them on their own though, if you eat enough for a reasonable dose you’ll probably trip but you’ll also probably vomit all over the place which isn’t the most enjoyable combination. There’s things you can do to make them fitter for human consumption but this is typically illegal. If you must eat them raw it’s best to clean them and drink some ginger tea beforehand if you want to keep them down long enough and be prepared for a taste not unlike nuts salted with the dried product of Satan’s taint sweat.

        Seconded. I’ve had LSA from morning glory seeds and the high was unpleasant due to the nausea. I pulsed them into a meal and drank them with ginger and lemon tea.

        I’ve not minded the taste personally. They are very hard is the main problem. I haven’t had enough for a high but maybe a slight buzz? I considered them for a legal way to microdose for a while there. May research that some more…

          Hawaiian Baby Woodrose is a better species for this kind of thing at any rate as it’s far stronger, though they’re specifically banned in a fair few places. I’ve heard it’s a bastard to cultivate as well but I could be wrong.
