DRACUT (FOX25, myfoxboston) - Many kids are flocking to the garden store to buy flower seeds, but they have no interest in planting them. Officials say they're chewing Morning Glory seeds to get high because the seeds contain a chemical commonly found in LSD.

These news folks are on the ball, huh?
 
Why do articles always make up that drugs aren't individual chemicals but rather some cocktail of chemicals? "A chemical commonly found in LSD," No it is a chemical very similar to LSD that can be found on blotters sold as LSD, that does not make it part of LSD, its like these journo's have no capacity to think whatsoever.
 
wow this is breaking news.
I heard about morning glories when i was in middle school like 10 years ago. And I have a feeling my parents probably knew about morning glories when they were teens. Haven't people been chewing morning glories for like hundreds (if not thousands) of years? This isn't even news, it's like how every year there seems to be "breaking news" that kids are drinking cough syrup to get high. We need to quickly make everything illegal, that will solve the problem of teens wanting to experiment. :\
 
Yeah, I suspect it'll go the same place: nowhere.

There's nothing new about this. THe "Commonly found in LSD" thing is just retarded. how can something be found in LSD, LSD is a pure thing. It's not like Tar heroin.

You seem to think journalism is about the truth, and not ratings. That's just silly. If that were the case, we wouldn't have CNN at all!
 
^ I am fully aware of what journalism is about, to say LSA is "commonly found in LSD" is a totally false and transparent statement that doesn't do much, if anything to accomplish high ratings.

I don't expect a fucking pro drug use, 100% chemically and factually correct article, I just notice that basically every article on drugs that mentions a precursor or related chemical to a drug will refer to it as an "ingredient" or a component of the drug which is just stupid.
 
The American grasp of chemistry is close to nil. Nobody can comprehend that mixing chemicals creates a unique compound, rather than a mixture. They think it's more like cooking food or something.
 
The Meth stories are the worst in this regard.

"Meth contains Drano, Lye, Starter Fluid, Lithium Batteries, etc"

The CSA lists LSA as a Depressant.
