Cheers for that, Now been researching around and from what i gather Ipomoea purpurea contains LSA, but in less amounts than Heavenly Blue Morning Glory, Is that correct?

All of them contain alkaloids, just a question of what and how much. Not to say that they all contain LSA. However I can't comment on that particular species' activity or the nature of it. Heavenly Blue morning glories are fucking everywhere. You could always grow your own too. Look for a perfectly heart shaped leaves with rounded parts at the top near the stem. the m of the leaf if you will. Then the stem is smooth, no hairs.

Thnx for the description, I'll keep my eyes open for any Heavenly Blue. When you say "Heavenly Blue morning glories are fucking everywhere" are you referring to Victoria, Australia?
But until I do find some Heavenly Blue can anyone confirm the specimen I posted above contains LSA.
Cheers

Just in general. They are very showy like those so they have a tendency to be grown on people's mailboxes, fences, etc etc. I haven't been to your country so I wouldn't know. However, the Heavenly Blue are still generally the most widely grown cultivar. There are two white ones one is Pearly Gates and the other are Wedding Bells that are both active. However I have seen white ones growing that looked almost identical save for the rounded part at the top being just slightly angular. At least here the Pearly Gates are more common. Then the Blue Stars seem pretty common at least as seed in the store, but I don't often see them growing. They are white flowers with blue streaks radiating from the center. I planted a stand of these for Albert Hoffman when he passed. The other one is Flying Saucers. I hardly ever see the seed let alone anyone growing them. They are purple streaks. There's actually another thread going that shows seed packs of the Heavenly Blue and Flying Saucers right now.

So those are supposed to also be active. I was skeptical but I have to admit that they should do the trick. Sometimes when it rains a ton they will just bloom and not set seed. Just keep your eyes peeled and let us know how it goes.
