From "Plants of the Gods" by Richard Evans Schultes & Albert Hoffman
Common Name: Badoh Negro, Piule, Tlitlitlzen
Botanical Name: Ipomoea violacea L.
Usage: Oaxaca, southern Mexico. Known to Aztecs as Tlitliltzen
and employed in the same way as Ololiuqui, Ipomoea is
called Piule by the Chinantec and Mazatec, and Badoh Negro
by the Zapotec.
In southern Mexico this vine is respected as one of the
principal hallucinogens for use in divination,
magico-religious and curing rituals.
Preparation: A drink is prepared from about a thimbleful of the
crushed seeds.
Effects: The alkaloid content is 5 times that of Turbina corymbosa:
accordingly the natives use fewer seeds. The same alkaloids
are found in other Morning Glories, but usage is restricted
to Mexico (see Ololiuqui)
Common Name: Ololiuqui, Badoh
Botanical Name: Turbina corymbosa [synonym: Rivea corymbosa]
History: The seeds of this Morning Glory, formerly known as Rivea
corymbosa, are valued as one of the major sacred
hallucinbogens of numerous Indian groups in southern Mexico.
Their use goes back to early periods, and they were important
in Aztec ceremonies as an intoxicant and as a magic potion
with reputedly analgesic properties.
Usage: At the present time small round seeds are utilized in
divination and witchcraft by Chinantec, Mazatec, Zapotec, and
others and, as has been recently stated, "today in almost all
villages of Oaxaca one finds seeds still serving the natives
as an ever-present help in the time of trouble."
Preparation: The seeds, which must be collected by the person who is to be
treated, are ground by a virgin on a metate, water is added
and then the drink is filtered. The patient drinks it at
night in a quiet, secluded space.
Effects: Ergoline alkaloids were found to be the psychoactive
principles, lysergic acid amide and lysergic acid
hydroxyethylamide, closely related to the potent hallucinogen
LSD, being the most important constituents.
