From "Plants of the Gods" by Richard Evans Schultes & Albert Hoffman
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Common Name: Badoh Negro, Piule, Tlitlitlzen
|
|||
|
|
Botanical Name: Ipomoea violacea L.
|
|||
|
|
Usage: Oaxaca, southern Mexico. Known to Aztecs as Tlitliltzen
|
|||
|
|
and employed in the same way as Ololiuqui, Ipomoea is
|
|||
|
|
called Piule by the Chinantec and Mazatec, and Badoh Negro
|
|||
|
|
by the Zapotec.
|
|||
|
|
In southern Mexico this vine is respected as one of the
|
|||
|
|
principal hallucinogens for use in divination,
|
|||
|
|
magico-religious and curing rituals.
|
|||
|
|
Preparation: A drink is prepared from about a thimbleful of the
|
|||
|
|
crushed seeds.
|
|||
|
|
Effects: The alkaloid content is 5 times that of Turbina corymbosa:
|
|||
|
|
accordingly the natives use fewer seeds. The same alkaloids
|
|||
|
|
are found in other Morning Glories, but usage is restricted
|
|||
|
|
to Mexico (see Ololiuqui)

|
Common Name: Ololiuqui, Badoh
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Botanical Name: Turbina corymbosa [synonym: Rivea corymbosa]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
History: The seeds of this Morning Glory, formerly known as Rivea
|
|||
|
|
corymbosa, are valued as one of the major sacred
|
|||
|
|
hallucinbogens of numerous Indian groups in southern Mexico.
|
|||
|
|
Their use goes back to early periods, and they were important
|
|||
|
|
in Aztec ceremonies as an intoxicant and as a magic potion
|
|||
|
|
with reputedly analgesic properties.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Usage: At the present time small round seeds are utilized in
|
|||
|
|
divination and witchcraft by Chinantec, Mazatec, Zapotec, and
|
|||
|
|
others and, as has been recently stated, "today in almost all
|
|||
|
|
villages of Oaxaca one finds seeds still serving the natives
|
|||
|
|
as an ever-present help in the time of trouble."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Preparation: The seeds, which must be collected by the person who is to be
|
|||
|
|
treated, are ground by a virgin on a metate, water is added
|
|||
|
|
and then the drink is filtered. The patient drinks it at
|
|||
|
|
night in a quiet, secluded space.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Effects: Ergoline alkaloids were found to be the psychoactive
|
|||
|
|
principles, lysergic acid amide and lysergic acid
|
|||
|
|
hydroxyethylamide, closely related to the potent hallucinogen
|
|||
|
|
LSD, being the most important constituents.
