Ergine

Ergine, also known as LSA or d-lysergic acid amide, is a naturally occurring psychedelic alkaloid of the lysergamide class. It is found in various species of morning glories and Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds.

Chemistry

Ergine is a member of the lysergamide class of compounds, which are derived from the naturally occurring ergot alkaloids. It is chemically similar to LSD, but with a significantly lower potency. Ergine is a chiral compound with two stereocenters, meaning it has four different stereoisomers.

Natural occurrence

Ergine is found in a variety of plants, most notably the morning glory and Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds. It is believed to be responsible for the psychedelic effects reported by people who consume these seeds.

Effects

The effects of ergine are similar to those of other psychedelic drugs. They can include visual hallucinations, altered thought processes, and a distorted sense of time. However, the effects are generally less intense than those of LSD.

Legal status

The legal status of ergine varies by country. In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule III controlled substance, meaning it has a potential for abuse and dependence, but also has accepted medical use.
