The main psychotomimetic constituent of the seeds of both species
|
|||
|
|
[Ipomoea tricolor & Rivea corymbosa] are ergine (d-delta-lysergic acid
|
|||
|
|
amide) and isoergine (d-delta-isolysergic acid amide) which occur together
|
|||
|
|
with minor alkaloids: chanoclavine, elymoclavine, and lysergol.
|
|||
|
|
Ergometrine appears to be present in the seeds of I. violacea, but
|
|||
|
|
absent in R. corymbosa. The total alkaloid content of R. corymbosa seed
|
|||
|
|
is 0.012% ; of I. violacea, 0.06% - and, indeed Indians use smaller quantities
|
|||
|
|
of the latter than of the former.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I. violacea, often referred to by it's synonyms I. rubro-caerulea and
|
|||
|
|
I. tricolor, is represented in horticulture by a number of "varieties,"
|
|||
|
|
such as: Heavenly Blue, Pearly Gates, Flying Saucers, Wedding Bells,
|
|||
|
|
Summer Skies, and Blue Stars - all of which contain the hallucinogenic
|
|||
|
|
ergot alkaloids.

"The main constituent of the seeds of Rivea corymbosa is ergine or d-lysergic
|
|||
|
|
acid amide. Minor alkaloids present are the related d-isolysergic acid amide
|
|||
|
|
(isoergine), chanoclavine, elymoclavine and lysergol. The seeds of Ipomoea
|
|||
|
|
violacea have a similar composition, but instead of lysergol, they have
|
|||
|
|
ergometrine (ergonovine). Later, very minor amounts of two alkaloids
|
|||
|
|
ergometrinine and penniclavine - were found in I. violacea by chromatography.
|
|||
|
|
the total alkaloid content of the seeds of Ipomoea violacea is approximately
|
|||
|
|
five times as great as that of the seeds of Rivea corymbosa: 0.06% in the
|
|||
|
|
former; 0.012% in the latter. This difference in the alkaloid content
|
|||
|
|
explains why Indians employ smaller doses of seeds of the Ipomoea than of the
|
|||
|
|
Rivea.

The investigation of a third magic drug, ololiuqui, took an unexpected turn.
|
|||
|
|
Ololiuqui [also called coaxihuitl (Aztec), badoh (Zapotec), yucu-yaha
|
|||
|
|
(Mixtec), xtabentum (Maya), flor de la Virgen, yerba del las serpientes
|
|||
|
|
(Spanish), snake plant, etc.] is a green twining herb of three species of the
|
|||
|
|
wild American morning glory, with long white blossoms and round brown (badoh)
|
|||
|
|
or black (badoh negro) seeds. The priests ate this plant to induce visions
|
|||
|
|
and satanic hallucinations, believed to have been messages from the gods. The
|
|||
|
|
patients of professional soothsayers (piuleros) drank alcoholic beverages
|
|||
|
|
(pulque, aguardiente, etc.) containing the crushed seeds; in the ensuing
|
|||
|
|
sleepy-narcotic state they revealed information about themselves that the
|
|||
|
|
piulero could use to forecast the client's future or prescribe for his
|
|||
|
|
illness. The brown seeds have been identified as Rivea corymbosa; the black
|
|||
|
|
seeds, as Ipomoea violacea.
