not to mention Datura (Jimson Weed) can be fatal due to all the Tropane alkaloids (the stuff in the Datura that makes you trip) due to the alkaloids being highly toxic. What's unique about Datura is that is actually causes true hallucenations which cannot be distinguished from reality. It may be described as a "real" trance when a user under the effect can be awake but completely disconnected from his or her immediate environment. In this case, the user would ignore most stimuli and respond to unreal ones.Unlike Psyilocybin and Lysergic Acid Diethlymide (LSD) which only cause sensory distortion. It truely is a dangerous drug. With the main alkaloid that makes you trip Scopolamine taking up to 13 hours to fully be metabolized by the body.Years ago, my friends used to collect Jimson Weed seeds and make tea - it looks like a morning glory, not sure if it is, or if it's in the same family. I did it a couple of times; small amounts. I wasn't so into it. But, some of my friends experiences were crazy. One woke up the next day in a construction site, naked - no memory of how or why. Another time, a friend went into someone's open garage and started searching around (he doesn't remember why). When police came and arrested him, apparently he was at one point asking them if he could make a grilled cheese in their toaster oven... he was talking about the police radio in their car.
After seeing those experiences, and a couple of others, I've been skeptical of that kind of stuff. (Not trying to talk anyone out of anything, just sharing a funny story.)
