I always thought "Engelstrompete" (Brugmansia) gives you the worst.

In my teenage years some mutual friends tried it. One ran off for a half a day into the forrest with a Garbage Bin Lid and a Wooden Spoon "to fight the dragon". He came back with a scratched face and body but was " sucessful" and happy(?) about somehow.

Still kinda funny though

On the other hand I heard stories like hell on earth. Fe something like its Raining Fire and all the other people are zombies. For 3-4 days. And he thought it was all real.

I looked it up, and it's apparently closely related to the datura genus, so that doesn't surprise me lol

Holy crap. Used in some cultures on unruly children so that their ancestors could directly admonish them!
