Tlitliltzin / morning glory

Research corpus coverage

Chemistry notes

• Principal reported constituents include ergine (LSA), related ergoline alkaloids from symbiotic fungi; broad class: serotonergic/adrenergic ergolines.

Traditional / historical use

Documented traditional use — not a claim of established efficacy.

No traditional-use records in this corpus.

Modern evidence

• Historical tlitliltzin identification is debated; commercial seeds may be treated with pesticides.

  MODERATE · Psychoactive and other ceremonial plants from a 2,000-year-old Maya ritual deposit at Yaxnohcah, Mexico

  Identity/attribution caution.

Human

• High risk

  Safety severity is HIGH: nausea, vasoconstriction, anxiety; treated seed coatings add toxicological uncertainty

  Intrinsic toxicity · HIGH · Psychoactive and other ceremonial plants from a 2,000-year-old Maya ritual deposit at Yaxnohcah, Mexico

Cats

• High risk

  ASPCA lists Morning Glory (Ipomoea spp.) as toxic to cats; indole alkaloids are identified as toxic constituents, and ingestion may cause vomiting. Large amounts of seeds may cause hallucinations.

Dogs

• High risk

  ASPCA lists Morning Glory (Ipomoea spp.) as toxic to dogs; indole alkaloids are identified as toxic constituents, and ingestion may cause vomiting. Large amounts of seeds may cause hallucinations.
