This flowering plant belongs to the species of morning glory, native to Latin America. Experiments have proven that one can attain a hallucinogenic state with increased visual sensitivity, feeling of relaxation, and attain the ability to bring back memories from one's childhood. Some have even stated experiencing surreal experiences that reach intensity levels beyond that of LSD. The seeds are used by the Aztec priests to communicate with their gods. Moreover, the extract of the seeds is used to treat digestion issues, reduce pain and also in the treatment of tumours.
