Rivea Corymbosa - Psychedelic LSD Alternative
Erowid on Rivea seeds: About Rivea
Known to natives of Mexico as Ololiuhqui (also spelled ololiuqui), its seeds, while little known outside of Mexico, were perhaps the most common hallucinogenic drug used by the natives.
In 1941, Richard Evans Schultes first identified ololiuhqui as Rivea corymbosa and the chemical composition was first described on August 18, 1960, in a paper by Dr. Albert Hofmann. The seeds contain ergine, an ergoline alkaloid similar in structure to LSD.
The Nahuatl word ololiuhqui means "round thing", and refers to the small, brown, oval seeds of the morning glory, not the plant itself, which is called coaxihuitl, "snake-plant", in Nahuatl, and hiedra or bejuco in the Spanish language.
Rivea Corymbosa seeds, in Spanish, are sometimes called semilla de la Virgen (little seeds of the Virgin Mary).
Rivea seeds are also used by Native curers in order to gain knowledge in curing practices and ritual, as well as the causes for the illness.
A simple water extraction of Rivea Corymbosa seeds has also been reported to be effective. (Usually Rivea seeds are crushed and left to soak in water for a few hours, then the water is drunk after straining discarding the Rivea seeds. But we do not recommend doing this as the powers at be may not like it, so just plant the Rivea seeds instead and watch them grow into beautiful flowers)
