It's not something I have ever heard. Most animals relish it. Maybe you are thinking of some other plant in the same family, coffee, quinine? The seeds, I believe taste like coffee. The whole plant is of great medicinal value particularly as a diuretic, solvent of bladder stones and skin complaints, although not much used these days.

Remember this, can't find where the purple hazey info came from man. Something to do with MESHELL's relentless task to find good plant stuff (allegedly). Although more plant's popped up like.
Wild lettuce Lactuca virosa Bitter lettuce, Opium Lettuce
Biennial herb : Wild lettuce contains a sedative milky latex that can induce opium like sensations. Wild lettuce is a valuable remedy for insomnia and muscular arthritis....

Wild lettuce, I will need to get some of that. I hope if you grow it in the garden it stays wild and doesn't become tame

Might be able to make a pair of rubber gloves out the latex milky sap too

it might have been bindweed that had the hallucinogenic properties but for sure, Morning Glory has

I think they've now bred out the woo woo stuff that used to be in Morning Glory.

I think the seeds were coated with something - Morning Glory seeds that is.
