  The seeds are carried by birds and can survive in a dormant state for years.
  Lots of stuff like trees washed away by rivers end up floating in the ocean.
  But it’s also perfectly feasible that a limited trade happened far in the past.
  Polynesians show that you can reliably cross even the pacific on boats made using stone tools and fire.

    Humans before the Ice Age were fishing for tuna in the deep sea and were coastal hopping everywhere there are coasts to hop.

    Limited trade… There were full on global trade networks through most of human history. Ironically, not as much across the Atlantic, because civilization in the Americas was centered on the West coast

    But you find all sorts of stuff turning up everywhere. Not much of it, and most of it is lost to history, but enough to establish that global trade networks were the norm and not the exception

  Graduate students famously never make mistakes (like including their own hair in samples) and also never smoke weed. So that couldn’t be it.

    They especially don’t smoke weed. No sir!

  I walk past this plant all the time and I’m super tempted.

    i’ve not done datura myself but by all accounts it’s much more like benadryl than salvia, to the point that benedryl is described as being “like datura junior”. you should check out some of these trip reports and think long and hard about if that experience is worth the risks to you.

    Don’t, every trip report is horrifying, there are better ways to get high, that are also safer.

    On top of being a bad experience datura doses are very hard to get right, you are very likely to overdose and die. And like I said, If you don’t die, you will get a traumatic experience that can possibly fuck your mental health for decades.

    Alternative drugs exist if you want to get high. Please check trip reports and harm reduction sources before trying anything.

      Like salvia but worse. And every salvia story is awful.

    isn’t that like the nightmare drug, that you can rather easily die from?

      Yeh, I just want to make a weak tea and slowly try it out.

    I also did salvia but I wouldn’t touch datura with a 10 ft pole.

    • Lemminary@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Oh god, I wouldn’t touch salvia divinorum either unless you want an intense, mind-melting trip that lasts 5 minutes and a sweaty itch all over your body that lasts for 8. That’s not a recreational trip, that’s for people who want to feel uncomfortable as a new life experience.

    There’s a bunch of Datura species, that looks like Datura wrightii.

    It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios!

  Wouldn’t there be other possible plants that would provide the same alkaloid compounds?
