From the foreword to Jonathan Ott's Pharmacotheon.Jonathan Ott lives in México on a ranch in the mountains of the state of Veracruz. His ranch bears the name “Ololiuhqui.” This name has its special significance. That is, Ololiuhqui is the Aztec name for one of the ancient Mexican magic drugs, the seeds of plants from the morning glory family (Convolvulaceae). Ololiuhqui has a connection to my friendship with Jonathan. My chemical investigations of Ololiuhqui seeds led to the unexpected discovery that the entheogenic principles of Ololiuhqui are alkaloids, especially lysergic acid amide, which exhibits a very close relationship to lysergic acid diethylamide (=ʟsᴅ). It follows therefrom that ʟsᴅ, which hitherto had been considered to be a synthetic product of the laboratory, actually belongs to the group of sacred Mexican drugs.

Albert Hofmann. Hofmann's Potion (documentary). (YouTube, 4:53)When I discovered LSD, it was believed it was a product of laboratory. And then we discovered that this compound had existed already for thousands of years in the plant kingdom...not exactly LSD, but practically.
Stanislav Grof Interviews Dr. Albert Hofmann (1984). MAPS Bulletin 9.2 (Fall 2001): 22–35Grof: Have you actually tried the [ololiuhqui] yourself?
Hofmann: Yes, I did. But, of course, it is about ten times less active; to get a good effect, you need one to two milligrams.
Grof: And what was that experience like?
Hofmann: The experience had some strong narcotic effect, but at the same time there was a very strange sense of voidness. In this [void], everything loses its meaning. It is a very mystical experience.
