Retailer keeps tabs on morning glory seeds
TLC Florist & Greenhouses in Oklahoma City noticed an interesting phenomenon that began this summer: groups of teenagers heading straight to the seed display, grabbing packets of morning glories. "They were definitely not your typical garden center patrons," said owner Linda Shackleford. A quick Internet search clued her in. Apparently, the bored teens were using the seeds to concoct a makeshift hallucinogenic drug. Shackleford and her staff quickly clamped down, refusing to sell the seeds to younger customers. The situation even garnered a warning for parents on the local TV news. Shackleford said it was quite a nuisance for a while, but things have calmed down.
