  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 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…

    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.[

    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”.

    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

  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.
