§ 46. Dr. D. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that the plant Morning Glory, Ipomoea purpurea, growing in Great Britain, possesses as a property of its seeds a mental poison which is a potential drug of addiction; and whether he will make an investigation, with a view to taking steps to prevent the use of this drug.
§ Mr. BrookeI am aware that reports have appeared in the Press that the seeds of Morning Glory grown in North America have been found to contain a hallucinogenic drug. There is no evidence that seeds of this plant sold in this country contain the drug, but I am making further inquiries.
