I knew a kid who would do datura. Surprisingly normal dude for someone who would occasionally decide to microdose hell itself lol
My ex’s dad swore he knew how to do datura just right so you could have an ok trip
Honestly the man was a riot
Datura stramonium. It's relatively common where I live. I smoked its seeds a couple of times, it was weird and unpleasant just enough to not want to keep experimenting. Would not recommend.
It's a fascinating plant, but I think I'll leave this one to the medicine men.
Hold on... that's a common weed where I live
If that's datura, which it looks to me like it is, you don't want any part of it. It's pretty much universally regarded as giving one of the worst, most unpleasant trips imaginable, and its effects last at least 24-48 hours or even longer. It's also just outright toxic depending on the dosage. It's just not worth it.
...so you know those recipes for homemade pepper spray? Would it be possible to make datura spray? Asking for a friend....
Sounds like this was basically the plot of the first Nolan Batman.
Did I just start my supervillain arc!?
Amazing. Bunch of stoned-out-of-gourd-anarchist-ninjas trying to burn Gotham to the ground and the only saviour is a playboy billionaire
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!
Yeah, I've seen posts on Reddit that went like “I thought surely datura can't be that bad... I can now report that it's absolute garbage of a drug and the worst experience I've had in my life”.
It's worth it to be sure to make no mistake
All species of Datura are extremely poisonous and psychoactive, especially their seeds and flowers, which can cause respiratory depression, arrhythmias, fever, delirium, hallucinations, anticholinergic toxidrome, psychosis, and death, if taken internally.[
I was surprised to see one growing unbothered on a sidewalk in Réunion island. I immediately recognized it cause I had looked it up days before after reading about it in the book Earth's Children. I checked and it seemed to be Datura Metel. Afaik not the best pick if you want to talk to your DNA memory ancestors, Altair-style.
You want morning glories, not datura
I had one just this morning.
Gimme that HBW
What happened to my cigarette?
