    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!

    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.

      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

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

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

      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.

    • Kaput@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      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 ⁨2⁩ ⁨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.

    Some things get around because they’re so pretty, don’t worry about it

    Birds?

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

      But birds aren’t real, haven’t you heard?

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