clarification

The statement that morning glory seeds are 5-10 percent as potent as LSD doesn't really make sense to me. Is LSA that potent? Or Something? What is the objective standard here. I think that needs a citation and restatement. User:awaggener

I'm pretty sure that it is the LSA that is that potent. Look at erowid under LSA Cloaked Dagger 13:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Korean Morning Glory

I am so offended!!! No one realised that the morning glory is the national flower of Korea, and also is the name of an awesome import store chain? Blueaster 07:29, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well did you add it? Be Bold! - Xer0X 12:32, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the "Korean Morning Glory" is actually another species, and is also poisonous: better be careful! cojoco (talk) 02:12, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cyanogenic Glycoside Content

Does anyone know any references for the cyanogenic glycoside content of morning glory seeds? My suspicion is that the reason the majority of people get violently ill is that the seeds contain a precursor to cyanide, which results in similar effects to those reported on erowid and it's links about morning glory seeds. Any comments? Vaaht 19:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you happen to know your chemistry you could research extraction techniques for morning glory seeds. Specific separation techniques using polar and non-polar solvents result in the separation of two different chemicals (or groups). One is responsible for vomiting (according to anecdotal evidence) and the other is responsible for the headache/fisheye effect. You may be able to tell whether or not cyanogenic glycoside could possibly be one of those chemicals. From what i've read, the nausea chemical is soluble in non-polar solvents... glycosides are polar, I think, so that couldn't be it? I'm really not too sure, just trying to give you some leads.

morning glory - invasive

Unfortunately, tho lovely, the morning glory is so invasive that it has taken over all of the flower beds and is now traversing the lawn. Is there any way to eradicate this plant?

Expansion

This page seems to be overly obsessed about the entheogenic qualities of morning glory. I don't really know much about the flowers, or have sources of information so I can't do much for this article. I'm just saying this plant should have a page of comparable quality to other flowers and plants instead of being random trivia and a portal for druggies.Mx. Terra 00:22, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

oops, my earlier comment was false. morning glory is the name of a korean-based chain store, but its not the moogoonghwa. that is actually the rose of sharon. Blueaster 05:52, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The shamans of the south and,cental evan north America where not drugies.There way of healing wether spirtual or phisical is somthing of a socialolgical conotation.And if you dont want the same sub form of judgment placed on you dont belittle what you clearly dont understand. For the record it takes soaking one once of seed for a week or so in vodka per person on an spirit quest.This would help a bitter point of view as well release your soul. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.110.219.112 (talk) 18:47, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

4chan...

Someone change "over 9000" to the real number :p —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.24.200 (talk) 23:18, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this was fixed back in 2008, but somebody did it again on the 16th of this month. Went ahead and changed it to the last non-vandalized version, "over 1,000". Then again, maybe some phrasing less suggestive than "over 1,000" should be used to make future vandalism less likely? :-) Mr. Accident (talk) 17:16, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just vandalized it back because that was the first thing that came to my head when I saw that ;) 72.230.135.196 (talk) 12:51, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recreational Use Section

the recreational use section sounds more like an anti-drug pamphlet than an encyclopedia entry. This is bad practice - give the information, not your opinion.

"If you do not like hallucinating, don't ingest the seeds. The seeds are especially dangerous if you have a history of liver disorders. During pregnancy they can cause uterine contraction that can lead to miscarriage. The seeds are vasoconstrictive, so leave them alone if you are elderly or have a history or family history of cardiovascular disease (heart attack, blood clot or stroke)."

The second person tense needs to be removed. Any objections? Phoniel (talk) 19:55, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with Convolvulaceae

Morning Glory is just another name for the correct name. Thus, it should be redirected to the correct name as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Plants#Plant article naming conventions. --Notmyhandle (talk) 01:58, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oasis

I had always assumed the Oasis line was more to do with the English slang term than the flower... Anyone got anything more authoritative than "I had assumed"? Cambion (talk) 11:56, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
