I think I can remember that the Ivy leaf varieties don't conatian significant amounts of alkaloid, but thats just from memory, there are loads of something similar growing where I'm living at the moment, but haven't bothered investigating.

I've tried common morning glory (purpurea) at 200 seeds without effect, but 100 tricolor do the trick just fine. Very easy to get hold of in (semi)bulk too. Back in britain I got hold of 1500 seeds for £10-15.

whats the chance of being poisoned?

Depends on what you mean by poisoned

If you meant "overdose" on LSA... I wouldn't worry about it.. and certainly not until you reach 400-1000 seeds (which I wouldn't advise - for that kind of dose you may as well use HBWR). If you meant pesticides / chemicals for seed treatment, just focus on sellers that state "untreated" or "organic" seeds.

If you meant the ivy leaf seeds, I wouldn't like to say as I've not tried them, but a quick search found this:

"Ipomoea hederacea seeds have been used in traditional folk medicine as a purgative"

pugative.....not for me...i swear ive thrown up like 4 seperate times in the last 2 weeks....im done with pukeing ...thanks man , cuz i would have tried em

 

[Pariah]

Hmm,

Unless you're confident with extraction, Morning Glory / HBWR / Rivea probably isn't for you if you want to avoid puking / nausea...

 

[pooz321]

well since it was used as a purgative it means it probably enduces more nausea then the others....and when i said not for me i meant the hederacea, not mg all together
