Help me indentify this Ipomoea species

It would be wise to hold off tasting any part of a plant until you've positively identified it. "Body load and nausea" sounds to me rather similar to mild poisoning so please be more careful!
The buds and flowers look like some member of the pea and bean family [Papillonaceae] - what do the seed pods look like? (And don't be fooled by the leaves looking 'about right' - that is of minimal identification value here!)
You should be aware that quite a number of beans are poisonous when raw. Your experiment should not be repeated with this species. Never ingest an unidentified plant.

Hello downwardsfromzero
You're absolutely right !
This plant is called Lablab purpureus, and it can grows everywhere around the globe.
It has no data of hallucinogenic effects as far as I've searched about it.
As you've stated that the leaves makes it look like a cousin to the Ipomoea genus.
I've seen its seeds and I was doubting them from the beginning, but I wanted to test them and see what could've happen.
I think this experience really showed me how unidentified plants can be really dangerous, I'm sure that I learned from you this lesson and to never approach and do similar things as I did
I guess this was the reason for me of joining this community To Learn And To Expand.
Thank you downwardsfromzero

In this case it was the effects of cyanogenic glycosides that you likely experienced:
"Young immature pods can be cooked and eaten. These plants are widely grown in northern Africa and parts of Asia as a vegetable crop for the flowers, leaves, immature seeds and edible pods. Mature, dried seeds are toxic due to high levels of cyanogenic glucosides and should be boiled in two changes of water before eating to remove the toxins. "
