Cops are now forced to warn kids that eating plant seeds to get high may make you really sick

 The Seekonk Police Department is getting the word out to parents that some teens have been eating plant seeds in order to get high from their hallucinogenic properties.



Police Chief Craig Mace said his department first heard of the problem when some teens who had eaten the seeds in neighboring Somerset got sick and were hospitalized.



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.”
