Mucuna pruriens kanske ?

Det lutar nog åt det, men jag är inte 100% säker ännu. Behöver jämföra lite bladbilder om jag hittar några bra.
Det stod något på ett ställe man kunde röka bladen med effekten "mild stoning" samt något om afroditikum.
Tänk om jag sysslar med något olagligt?
Common name: Cow itch, velvet bean, bengal bean

Family: Fabaceae
Mucuna pruriens is an annual (or sometimes short-lived perennial), leguminous vine capable of growing to 6m in length. The leaves are alternate with three large, rhomboid-ovate leaflets. The flowers are white to dark purple and hang in long racemes. M. pruriens produces clusters of pods that are curved (c. 4 to 8cm long) and contain 2 - 6 seeds. The seeds vary in colour from black, white to mottled. The pods are covered with reddish-orange hairs that are readily
dislodged and can cause intense irritation to the skin (Michael 1989). It has been planted as a cover crop under coconut plantations in Sri Lanka (Ravindran 1988) and the pods and beans have been used to feed livestock (Ravindran 1988).
It is native to India and has become pantropical. It is recorded as a weed in Mozambique, Mexico, Madagascar, Jamaica and many other pan-tropical countries (Holm et al. 1979). It has a tendency to scramble over other vegetation, sometimes climbing to the tops of trees (Michael 1989). Michael (1989) listed M. pruriens as a significant potential weed threat to northern
Australia. The plant generally requires a hot, moist climate for maximum growth' although cultivars have been developed which can grow in temperate climates (Whyte 1953 in Ravindran 1988). M. pruriens (L.) DC. and var. utilis (Wight) Burck. are cultivated as pasture plants in Queensland. The plant can grow in a range of habitats and could become naturalised in grasslands, bushland, riverine forest and forest edges throughout tropical and subtropical regions. Eradication is not considered feasible due to the plant's widespread use as a pasture legume.
