Lysergic acid amide (ergine) is tentatively identified as a component of Argyreia nervosa.

"Baby Wood Rose (Argyreia) and the related Morning Glory Ipomoea belong to the Convolvulaceae. Species and varieties of both have shown the presence of ergoline alkaloids. Recently, we have received several queries about the use of the seeds of these plants by the drug abuser. The flower of the Wood Rose contains four seeds, and the abuser may use from four to twelve seeds. He scrapes off the outer coat ing of the seeds before chewing them, or taking them in a capsule. He may take Dramamine or some other antinauseant at the same time, to try to prevent nausea. Morning glory seeds, usually "Heavenly Blue" or "Pearly Gates" have been abused for a number of years. Reportedly about 350 seeds, or approximately one pound, will make about 25 doses. The abuser washes the seeds to remove pesticides, grinds the seeds in a pepper mill and puts the powder in gelatin capsules. He may soak the powder in cold water for about 45 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid from the mash and drink it."
