Teens are always trying to find the next stupid thing to get them high. This new experiment didn’t turn out so well. The Seekonk Police Department are spreading the word about these dangerous little devils, letting parents know it could cause hospitalization.
From CBS:
Now, the seeds have been found in the Seekonk School District.
“We as human beings have a tendency to come up with different ways to become impaired, or however you want to describe it,” said Mace.
He’s referring to Sleepy Grass, Hawaiian Baby Woodrose, and Blue Morning Glory seeds.
The seeds have a hallucinogenic effect because they contain LSA – which is similar to LSD.
“Here we have a natural product that’s intended for ornamental purposes, and somehow, someone figured out that it could cause a hallucinogenic effect,” said Mace.
“Parents should know if their children are into planting flowers or not, so if they see these things in the household, the radar should be on, the red flag should go up.”
A memo from Seekonk Schools Superintendent Arlene Bosco about the seeds was posted on the Seekonk Police Department Facebook page Tuesday night. She said the Somerset teens were not seriously hurt.
Many stores sell these seeds, they cause a host of problems from hallucinations to nausea and vomiting. I’m not exactly sure why people think the high is worth the pain!
