T-Rex: What's the story...
T-Rex: MORNING GLORY?
T-Rex: Morning glory refers to plants of the family Convolvulaceae, across circa 60 genera, but particularly species of the genus Ipomoea.
T-Rex: The conspicuous flowers generally open in the early morning.
Utahraptor: So, they need a little time to wake up, wake up?
T-Rex: Huh?
T-Rex: No, I just explained, they're up early!
T-Rex: Sheesh, some people don't get anything.

The author writes:

Many species of morning glory produce seeds containing ergoline alkaloids, some of which can act as psychedelic hallucinogens in humans.
