  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’ve eaten the seeds, they’re nasty unless dried out. Read the dangers beforehand. It’ll mess with your vision the next day, supposedly there is a chance of going blind. The hallucinations I experienced were pretty convincing, you might want to have a friend keep an eye on you. My buddy overdid things and got picked up by the cops, they put him in the psych ward

        Nah, that’s what I expect. I have the chillest sober sitter in the world. I’m already going blind, so vision stuff doesn’t freak me out.

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

    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.

      Yup. I don’t regret doing it, and the short duration was one of the things that pushed me over the edge. I wasn’t looking to exit reality for hours at a time. It was an… interesting and instructive experience, but I didn’t feel the need to repeat it again. DEFINITELY have a sober sitter with you, I was apparently trying to throw myself off the stairs.

  I tried stramonium a couple times by smoking some seeds, I would describe it as unpleasant enough to not bother again, in the just not worth it category.

  • Xanthrax@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    How was it unpleasant? You don’t have to answer. Im curious.

      Bear in mind that it was a small dose.

      It’s hard to describe, my best shot would be a bit like vertigo but without any of the motion sickness. I had a sensation that what I was seeing wasn’t entirely right while everything was perfectly normal.

  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.

  Hi, drug nerd here. Especially psychedelic plants and fungi.

  Don’t.

  And not just because I tried it in my twenties and had a really horrible time. But also because I’ve learned a lot in the last two decades about the plant, and that potency of the alkaloids and it can vary significantly.

  A dose someone took in a trip report where they had mild effects could cause temporary or permanent blindness for you. Because the plant that you are consuming may be a lot more potent than theirs was.

  But yes, the trip is horrible. If you want to know what it’s like it’s a form of delirium. So if you’ve ever been up for long periods of time in your mind has started playing tricks on you it’s like that. On top of this you also experience urinary retention, which means I spent the night getting up to use the bathroom while delirious and being unable to pee.

  And remember I mentioned temporary blindness, I had what you could call the opposite of tunnel vision. I wasn’t able to focus and could really only see using my peripheral vision. This effect lasted well into the next day.

  And while I was actually high, I was mostly experiencing audio hallucinations and I just wanted it to be over so I tried to sleep through it.
