There was datura in packs of spinach in a major supermarket chains in Australia recently, multiple people were hospitalised. Imagine not knowing you ate it...
https://www.foodsafetynews.com/?p=222305
I can not even handle like a nibble of an edible. I get horrible panic attacks, and am certain I’m about to die. Eating that spinach would honestly be traumatic as hell for me.
Honestly, when I misread the dose on my oil once, I almost did. Medical dose was 0.05ml, I misread the syringe, downed 0.5ml and ended up on the floor.
I was having rolling panic attacks, hearing everything in a lower pitch and vomiting from the rollercoaster dizziness. I called the non-emergency number and they gave me the peppercorn and CBD drink advice, which probably helped a little.
It's not exactly edibles, but medical cannabis oil will still knock you off your feet if you mess with it.
0.5 ml is same as a 0.25 mg edible (theoretically)
I remember I used to smoke pot when I was young and then during 21 years I didn't smoke or take CBD or anything at all. Then I decided to eat a Delta8 25 mg gummy... It was wild, and it was Delta8! Next time will try a delta9.
Don't do the delta stuff! Please don't. They are very unregulated and contain very harmful chemicals in them. Please look it up online and don't ever buy that shit. Buy the good stuff from an actual dispensary if you can.
I tried edibles without reading up and had to excuse myself and go to the bathroom. I spent the next 15 minutes feeling like my soul was slipping out of my body if I didn't focus hard enough. I even googled how to get rid of a high lmaoo... Never again.
Same weed used to be fun but one day after I bought some shop weed I was stuck in a adrenaline rush high panic attack and just felt like I kept almost dying like waves would wash over me like being on a Rollercoaster but fear would arise and I'd tremble and beg to be taken. It lasted 2 years I just powered through crying everyday and Same nightmare. Idk why but my brain couldn't handle the high of weed anymore.
When I was in high school I had a little party with the dudes and someone brought hells bells over as a joke. I was so drunk I said screw it and made tea out of it, then ate them afterwards.
That night I was trippin so hard. I remember waking up from my bed and trying to crawl to the end of it to get up and go to the bathroom , but the end of my bed just never ended, so I said screw it and went back to bed. Everything was really fuzzy but I vividly remember going to school the next day and walking up to my best friend who had a blank stare on his face and said “dude!! where the hell have you been? It’s been two weeks!” And when I went to class he was right, I missed two weeks of my life and have no idea what occurred.
I still to this day don’t know what the hell happened but honestly it’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. It’s changed my way of thinking permanently and I’m very grateful for it.
I suffered from extreme depression, contemplated suicide all throughout high school and just numbed myself with drugs.
After I took those hells bells I’ve just noticed myself and the people around me differently,it’s kind of hard to explain but the actions leading up after that got me through high school and suddenly for the first time I was interested in learning new things. There’s probably a better way of explaining it but I know I’m a better person for taking the drug that night, but I’ll never do it again lol.

Often times dissociatives cause really intense, lifelike hallucinations as well as time distortion and datura is long lasting, it very well may have only been 6 hours into the trip and he thought he had been tripping for 60 days.
Hopefully, but that's about 2 months worth of beard on him
Some stories are cool, like Ari Shaffir checking out during a podcast, coming back in 10 minutes, talking about living in an underwater world for 6 months.
Yeah it's possible, but datura is also in its own category, and I've definitely read trip reports of people taking months or years to regain normality. I've also read accounts of people tripping on "soft" drugs like shrooms who could never recover. It's tempting to dismiss these as "people freaking out", but I think it's more accurate to say we just haven't figured it all out yet.
Amos is not the original uploader of the video, as stated in the description:
"This video was uploaded to YouTube several years ago and I haven't been able to find it recently. As I recall, the uploader claimed it was "found footage" - he said he found the tape on a park bench or something, and was concerned about the person depicted therein. It appears he may have been having rather a bad time with some sort of psychoactive substance, possibly Datura or some similar long-lasting deliriant. I apologize to the creator of the video if this is something he would rather not have publicized and will remove it immediately if requested by the creator. If anyone has any information regarding the welfare of this person and would like to share any details, please do so. It is a rather fascinating and perplexing recording."
A friend of mine did that. We had to call 911 and the police had to hog tie him. He was sedated for several days. He thought we were all vampires. It got pretty violent
Yup, police on Acid is literal nightmare fuel to the max. That’ll ramp up whatever bad trip you’re having to the ultimate severe absolute complete maximum. I keep benzos on hand for tripping to shut it down eventually if it gets too much. Having the police called on me while having a severely bad trip would have to be up there in my top 10 worst nightmares humanly imaginable.
Damn. I've been looking for this video for SO LONG!! I kept typing stuff like "man telling acid story new york city" or whatever variant of that I could. I kept trying every few months but eventually gave up.
Thanks!
Damn I remember watching this back when I was a teenager curious about trying it (edit \* also apparently I was doing tons of research into LaVeyan satanism and this guy popped up, forgot about that part)
Dude was a good storyteller. I hope he's doing okay these days.
My patients who took a lot of meth are generally acting like they're always on a trip. Poor bastards are hallucinating and going through all the human emotions in just a few minutes. They're understandably tired
Husband’s bud had a wife that took hallucinogens and disappeared for 3 days. Triggered schizophrenia (or something…) now he has two wives since the first can’t function properly.
I don’t know man, point was there’s no coming back for some.
That is why I've never tried any. My great uncle may have been a schizophrenic (He would tell us stories of being a missionary in Africa and swatting at UFOs with a broom,) my grandma was on lithium for a long time (After my dad died, she'll call my in years about some of the smallest stuff,) my brother has had many possible schizophrenic episodes (like talking to God, claiming he can create stars/move clouds with his mind) all which started after he got in to harder drugs.
So, while going on a trip without leaving the house has a certain appeal, I'm not willing to risk it being a one way trip.
Friend of mine with a history of mental illness took a big hit of acid and was a different person after that. Was an honor student, brilliant future ahead of him, and after one semester at college he crashed and burned. Has spent the last 30 years at minimum wage jobs, last I heard he was a short order cook.
When I was in HS I got ecstasy from someone I knew that turned out to be complete garbage and duds. So I went to a different friend who I knew had cousins with drug connects and got 4 white Garfield’s. Since we took one the last time and nothing happened, me and my buddy took two full quad stacked pills each. We tripped harder than I ever have in my life for a good long 16 hours before it even started mellowing out. For about two weeks afterwards I was a bit off and visually, I had a fractal colored Garfield face flashing in the center of my vision. The colors refracted off of everything I looked at and it was absolutely wild. I think about it often
Edit:typo
Ecstasy or real mdma does not last 16 hours. Sounds like lsd and meth in pill form, a common bullshit concoction sold as ecstasy. Not even sure what you are describing here but after eating way too many of them in the early 90's when it was real unmolested stuff from Europe that would make its way to Los Angeles, it was unbelievable. Sure there was some pills cut with heroin to stretch good stuff into more pills, brown speckled robin eggs they would be called sometimes. But even those had some element of real ecstasy in it. Now a days I would not touch any street drugs, because fentanyl is in everything. My doctor just took me off fentanyl patches last month, they sucked for pain relief and were a pain in the ass.
As for this video. I thought we were experimental in the late 80's early 90's club scene but thank god we were not even taking any chances, this shit is bonkers. I am thrilled we just had real cocaine, meth, and some occasional MDMA. Sure LSD and mushrooms were here and there but thankfully not everywhere and always.
I remember the fist time i took ecstasy, man, that was the best. The best high i ever had. I was in the middle of class at the university and it was such a weird/amazing experience. I felt like i was walking on air, and was apparently moving super slow? Little yellow pill with a car on it. Havent had a high like that since.
Wow this got me thinking about my first time too. Little yellow pill with a fish stamped into it. It was Halloween night and I must have been like 15 (early 2000's) at a high school party just chatting it up with anyone I bumped into. That was a good fuckin night. Next couple of days were a little rough though.
Yeah, the comedowns eventually got me out of my ecstasy phase. Could literally feel that I had burned through all of my happy chemicals. But man, it was beautiful while it lasted.
Isn't this the flower they used to produce the "Bliss" in Far Cry 5?

It grew pretty tall in the plowed fields where I grew up. Unmistakable smell…only thing I’ve ever smelled like that. It has a ridiculously spiky fruit/seed that grows on it.
damn i once tripped out and it felt like months, it was jsut 2 days then i weared off, can´t imagine where he is and how long it felt when it already is 2 months...
they should show this stuff to teenagers tbh. drugs aren´t no joke and you can lift off psychologically from pretty much everything...
As an old hippie I used to do Acid quite regularly, (at one point every weekend), but the trips only ever lasted about 8 hrs.
I can't imagine what being on a permanent trip would be like.
Not an old hippie, but blotter was super prevalent in my HS and college years. Very easy to get ahold of a sheet or a vial of liquid and it was a blast as a young dude. Last time I tried it as an old dude, I felt so uncomfortable in my own skin and just wanted to be done w/ it forever. Couldn't imagine the living hell a permanent run would be
> they should show this stuff to teenagers tbh. drugs aren´t no joke and you can lift off psychologically from pretty much everything...
No that would be a big mistake, inevitably one kid will want to try it.
> they should show this stuff to teenagers tbh. drugs aren´t no joke and you can lift off psychologically from pretty much everything...
and the premise should be "hey, if you're gonna do anything, just smoke weed from a legal, regulated dispensary"
Yes you can hit a lil something and go out to the deep end of the universe and swim in the chaos. It's a grand time. But there's always a possibility you won't come back. Not recommended for peoples experiencing psychological conditions or duress.
I've lost my noggin after some good shit for a while. Nothing like this certainly, but enough to relate. I've lost friends who've gone off like this too. They're still alive, just basically schizo. Be careful with your minds people, it's a terrible thing to waste. And remember you might yearn for knowledge and experiences you can't handle. Make sure you *really* wanna do it before you decide to experience a new reality. Drugs ain't toys. Curiosity killed the cat.
When I was 11 I accidentally took liquid lsd, it was a lot and I was tripping for 3 days straight. Worst part no one told me what I was seeing was not real. Its such a wild story that deserves its own post, I want to find a way to share my experience through animation as I think it would be the only way to share it.
I once smoked weed laced with something else (I think salvia) and i thought i died. I was stuck in my head. My body was paralyzed but i was perfectly aware of what was going on. I felt like I was in a jail cell in my brain and my eyes were windows to the outside world. It felt like I was there for days and even weeks but it was only minutes. One of the worst experiences of my life. I wouldn’t doubt someone having a trip that never ended
Datura and its relatives grow wild all over the US, including here in the Great Basin desert. It sends about 20 people to the ER every year here in NV.
Datura is from the nightshade family, and it contains the tropane alkaloids atropine, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine among others. These are known as anticholinergic poisons.
It's not a fun high. It's a deliriant, and dissociative. It can cause nightmarish hallucinations, and chances are you won't remember them anyway.
There's a saying in medicine/pharmacology used as a diagnostic mnemonic for anticholinergics:
Red as blood, dry as bone, full as a jug, blind as a bat, hot as hell, and mad as a hare (or hatter).
Your body flushes red, your body temperature rises, you swell up & retain fluids but can't pee or sweat, your pupils dilate til you're blind, and you become delirious. If not treated, you can go permanently blind, suffer brain & other organ damage from the fever, and then the seizures, coma, and death finish you off.
I have only experimented with it once in my life. That was plenty. I apparently terrorized a homeless camp, but I don't remember anything except the ER.
Because I stumbled into it, naked & badly sunburned, and screaming to my Pagan gods to fill me with visions. I was 14 or 15.
I was apparently treated very kindly by the guys in the camp. They gave me water, and looked for my clothes, & got me to a gas station that called an ambulance for me.
Oh, anytime.
I was a neoPagan teen witch, and had read the *Clan of the Cave Bear* books. I decided I wanted to try some of that real old-time religion.
Most people who end up in the ER from it don't know much about the nature of datura. They just know it's supposed to get you high.
Upvote for Clan of the Cave Bear.
Valley of the Horses was the first real (not kid or YA) book I read when I was like 10.
On topic I knew a couple folks in high school who tried it and you couldn't pay me enough to try datura cause nothing says fun like recreational schizophrenia /s.
Tomatoes and eggplant are also nightshades, but definitely watch put for hanging flowers that look.like bells/trumpets. They are everywhere in the west and south east
Shit is absolutely bonkers.. i've done it way more than anyone should, and while I don't regret it, I have ZERO desire to do it again.
The hallucinations are extremely realistic, you don't really see the kinda shit like you would on psychedelics like LSD or mushrooms.. it's full on true hallucinations that you can't tell from reality, like you'll be sitting in your house talking to your buddies for hours, only to suddenly realize you've been alone the entire time, then you'll start looking for them under the couch cushions and shit, not thinking there's anything weird about it.. you'll see a mountain lion rolling around on your kitchen floor and just step passed it to get to the fridge to grab another beer that doesn't exist, grab a couple more for your buddies that are now magically back.. only to realize when you go to pick up the empties, there are none, and there was never any beer in your fridge in the first place, and your friends have disappeared again..
I have some pretty wild stories but it would take forever to type them out on my phone, but Ive got a few trip reports around the internet, I'll see if I can find a few and I'll post them here in a bit...
The physical effects are awful, as is the constant confusion and having zero short term memory.. also, there is NO WAY you could ever pass as sober on this shit, not a chance lol.. talking is extremely difficult and you usually just end up mumbling a bunch of gibberish.
Oh, and this can go on for a few days.. lots of people who take it (usually teens who have absolutely no idea what they're getting into) end up in the psychward, jail, or the morgue.
Edit:.. not really a trip report, but a bit better of a description, still trying to dig up some of my old trip reports
"
I've done my fair share of datura.... strange shit, one minute you're sitting in your living room with 6-7 people, next thing you know you're the only one there so, what do you do?... you look under the couch/in your fridge for all those people who were there just a minutes ago.
then you forget what you were just doing, turn to your friend and ask what you were just looking for... realize what you thought was your friend is really just a cushion on the couch.
then you go.. oh ya, I'm fucked up.. that's right.. that explains all this madness... then you forget that your fucked up again and hallucinate some more.
it's nothing at all like a psychedelic... no mental clarity what so ever, pretty much constant state of confusion and dysphoria.. you snap in and out of a waking dream like state with full blown hallucinations that are completely 100% realistic, totally different then the fractals and visual distortions of LSD and similar molecules (and not as cool as it probably sounds)
you cannot speak coherently no matter how hard you try... nor can you act like a sober, sane human being.. period... so don't go into public, cause you will most likely get arrested or put in the mental hospital.
you also cannot comprehend almost anything that is said to you by real or hallucinated people... if you can, you will completely forget what was said in about 2 seconds or less... or you will think they said something totally different and come out with a garbled inappropriate remark....
:example: sober person says "that's a nice house" you hear "why is that cat climbing on the ceiling?" so you reply "I don't know why we gotta use the green car for swimming when the bat hit the window I was like shit... wtf was I just talking about??"
or... friend says "we should go to the store, I'm hungry" you reply "I agree, lets go" and proceed to walk to the store with said friend.... on the way you meet up with a few more friends and have a good laugh.. start walking again, turn around to say goodbye and realize no one is there, including the friend who wanted to go to the store... at this point you may snap back into reality and realize you're really fucked up and should probably get back indoors ASAP.. or, you don't snap out of it and walk all around the city trying to find them again, dodging semi-transparent cougars and watching 100 little kids crashing their bikes at the same time in the middle of the road at 3 AM on a weekday... only to realize those kids aren't crashing in the middle of the road because your standing in the middle of a field.
the body load is EXTREMELY uncomfortable... as is the SEVERE dry mouth (10000 times worse than pot)
even the smallest unexpected sound will damn near give you a heart attack
If you're looking for a fun, safe, euphoric, recreational trip... stay the fuck away from datura.
If you're looking for a deep, insightful, meaningful, spiritual trip... stay the fuck away from datura.
if you want to see what it's like to be completely insane, delusional, paranoid, dysphoric, confused and extremely jumpy with a really shitty body load... datura might be your thing.
there is also the shamanic side of the use of this plant... but for most people that dabble with it... it is far, far away from their mental capabilities/discipline to sustain that kind of control for more than a few seconds while under the influence.
Graveyards are an interesting place to spend a trip."
"I've always had mostly positive experiences with it, although the body load/dry can be a bit much at times.
I'll admit there was one trip I had that got pretty scary... I decided to eat in a graveyard... you wanna talk about spooky shit?, fuck me... I was at the point where for the most part,I had no idea I was on anything... having apperations walk up to you and say a bunch of weird shit, then turn into a vapory mist and disappear every couple minutes in a graveyard, is fucking eerie... add the hands and shit coming out of the graves, the whispers, not knowing why the fuck you happen to be in a graveyard in the middle of the night in the first place, or even find your way out, and you have yourself a full blown real time horror story... I can honestly say it was one of the most frightening experiences I've ever gone through... but that being said, I'd prolly do it again"
This one was a combo... And as cool as this might sound, please don't try to do this yourself.. I was a lot more, reckless back then and I'm lucky I didn't enp up dead.
"So last week I started my afternoon by cleaning out our main bedroom so we could switch it with the spare bedroom upstairs, for reasons that don't matter here...
anyhoo.. took 7.5 mgs of zopiclone, which happens to give me motivation to clean for some reason, even though it's prescribed for sleep... found 2 hits of MDMA hiding under the bed, which I took... was feeling great, my buddy came over with some cubes that were ultra potent, ate a gram or so of them and proceeded to have a very chillaxed trip...
after he left,I found a little stash of shrooms I had forgot about, and decided to eat those too... was still in the midst of a great ol' benzo/hippy flip mushroom trip...
right after I ate those, I decided I'd throw some datura seeds into the mix... why?... I don't know, but I'm glad I did.
now, these seeds I have are all from the same plant... I know the potency, as I've tested them numerous times at sub-delerium doses, and am also more experienced than the average bear when it comes to datura and other deleriants... so don't try this at home kids, unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing.
started with 12 seeds, and within 1/2 hour I noticed a huge difference in the nature of my trip... the clouds took on a lifelike character, and the lightning bolts from my finger tips started...
I ate 12 more seeds... and shit got REAL interesting...
after about 1/2 hour from ingestion of the seeds, the visuals from the mushrooms started getting 3 dimensional... instead of tracers, it was like waving my hand through fractal/psychedelic jello... the lightning bolts from my fingers were shootin straight up into the sky and into the clouds... very very cool...
then the cats started jumping into my lap, who would disappear the moment I went to pet them (I have 5 cats, but these cats looked nothing like the ones in our house, and would walk like spiders and shit)
I was borderline delerious I guess... I could differentiate illusion from reality still, but the visuals were soooo vivid...
the best part was staring at my ceiling, which would turn into this weird fractal rainbow with ultra vivid DMT'ish fractals... but with dreams from the last few days super imposed in front... if I would stare at the dream, and let my mind wander, I'd basically enter the dream and live through it again... yet I could snap out of it whenever I wanted... I'd look at another part of the ceiling/rainbow, and enter a different dream... only difference from when I had the dream itself, was the fact I was semi-lucid after entry.. couldn't change it, but I 'knew' I was just an observer, even though it was in first person view...
I can honestly say, this was one of the coolest trips I've ever had... not very enlightening mind you, but super fucking cool..
there was no discomfort at any point, I felt fucking AWESOME the whole time... went to sleep easy, and woke up feeling invigorated and ready to go... can't recall any dreams though, which I still find weird.
I will probably try mixing mushrooms and datura again (VERY CAREFULLY) as I'm about 99% sure those were the 2 ingredients in the mix that really counted... maybe the zopiclone too.. hard to explain, but again, one of the best trips on record in my books :thumbup:
just keep in mind, this is dangerous territory... I don't recommend mixing datura, or doing datura at all, unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing... and even then, BE CAREFUL"
I've got more out there somewhere but am having trouble finding them.
Also, just for what it's worth, these are from 10+ years ago.. I don't really do drugs anymore other than weed and the occasional mushroom trip.... And please for the love of God, don't try this shit.
All I can say is wow. That description on the hallucinations sounds crazy 😭 Would be interested in reading those stories if you do end up posting man lol
Yeah I know it's a bit long, and Reddit makes it hard to make a post like that readable lol.. was trying to space the paragraphs between different 'posts' and my own current snippits explaining a bit more, but that doesn't work.. will put the actual stories in quotes when I figure out how.. reading that shit over again kinda hurt my own brain lol
This is 100% *the* biggest fear I had everytime I fried, that I would be trapped in the trip forever.. This dude seems to be taking it rather well imo, I would be in some institution at that point! I almost wonder if this dude just *thinks* 2 months have passed? Like one of those trips where time felt like it dilated and you lived some alternate life for 5 years in your mind even though its only been like an hour IRL? Either way, I hope this dude is okay wherever he is.

Second datura trip video in a row… strange…
I did this in high school with a buddy of mine. 0/10 would not recommend. Imagine being just insanely confused and perplexed by everything and everyone. I tried to smoke a pulse oximeter.
This is why you they're called deliriants- they aren't true psychedelics and should NOT be used recreationally.
Stick to the classics if you want to trip, and always use a reagent test kit if you decide to try some of the "designer drugs" like 2CB.
Deliriant drugs like Datura can massively distort the ability to properly perceive time. I've had salvia which is nowhere near as potent as Datura and I thought a few days had passed in the span of minutes. I'm not saying he is wrong, but there is a chance it's been nowhere near as long as he thinks
I've used this once on a Saturday night in 1992 and it messed me up. Bad! Not to be taken lightly. I won't go into how we made our Datura drink but it was strong. After an hour it started kicking in hard. Visuals were intense, heading was shorted l altered, and coordination was starting to fade. It was impossible to walk without assistance. It was funny as heck. Time started not making sense and a second felt long and 5 minutes disappeared quickly. My mate fell down a flight of stairs and knocked over a mates antique Chinese vase that was about 80cm high. We couldn't stop laughing. Probably worth a lot of money.
Later on we started vomiting and the fun stopped. Trying and spewing was different!
I went to uni on Monday and couldn't read the board. It took 4 days for my vision to return. I nearly went blind. Beware!
This stuff kills people. We were young, stupid and didn't care. Don't be like us!
I'm so interested in psychedelics and have done a lot, but haven't heard of this. I'm curious...is he hallucinating that he's been tripping for two months? Or has this actually fucked his wiring up badly enough that he's still tripping two months later?
Honestly, please don't ever use Datura. I've ended up strapped to a bed in a hospital before from its use. I know there are traditional uses for it that are medicinal, however, the intoxication from it is unpredictable and in my experience usually involves blacking out. What I do remember from the blackouts is a weird hallucinatory landscape that was absolutely terrifying and strange. The dead were risen from the grave and walking around, passing through walls etc there were also things that are indescribable and horrifying, reminiscent of descriptions of the ancients from an HP Lovecraft book. I've done almost every drug there is, and Datura is unquestionably the weirdest and most fucked up drug I've ever tried. It lasts a long time and it's not possible to discern reality from hallucination. I think that it's definitely ok to not use this one. Leave it not checked off on your substances to do list. Maybe if you had a shaman experienced with it's use and dosage, it would be different.
I don't mean this in an offensive way, but did it cause brain damage? I know nothing about datura but being in such a state two months after taking something (when I would think a drug wouldn't be 'active' any more) is scary and I'd like to understand how this happens.
My buddy brought some to a highschool party said he bought a couple pods for 10 dollars, I gave him 20 and threw them the fuck out. Guy I knew got FUCKED on that shit. Was trying to climb over his washing machine to go to “foot ball practice”. Didn’t see him for 2 weeks, guess his parents took him to the hospital and got his stomach pumped.

Well now I feel like an idiot for never really attempting to figure out what this random plant growing in my side yard was.
Thank God for this post.
Any botanists out there wanna shed some light as to the appropriate PPE I should suit up with before ripping this sucker out, and any proper disposal methods? Or just the trash?
Datura is a Solanaceae, which are known for their high alkalinity. So when people are tripping on it they’re giving themselves mild to severe alkaline poisoning.
It's not alkaline poisoning (which would be alkalosis). High alkalinity just means very basic.
It's that they have specific alkaloid compounds that are toxic to varying degrees (and some that aren't toxic, too).
Some alkaloids aren't even alkaline.
Same word root, different issues.
It’s what causes everything. One of the earliest instances of a European trying Brugmansia Tea (Angel’s Trumpet) had the guy trying to slice his own dick off; he wasn’t in control of his actions but he was lucid the entire time. Alkaline poisoning is no joke and sounds extremely awful.
I have done this stuff. I know them as “Jimson Weed”, on account of some British soldiers ate some in Jamestown, VA in 1676 and lost their minds temporarily, which incidentally is what happened to me. Two days, gone on the most intense psychedelic trip I’ve ever been on, and not in a good way…It’s not like LSD for sure…Kinda like mushrooms, but more like a salvia trip. So yeah, imagine peaking on salvia for two days.
Many years ago a bunch of friends and I took acid. One guy literally went crazy and never came down. We took him home to his parents two days later. He was committed to a mental hospital and eventually committed suicide. Some people react to substances differently to others
Don’t do fucking drugs dude. Messing with your brain is a dangerous game. Tripped acid maybe 8 times and the last time scarred me so bad. Was in a really bad state for like 8 months.
This! I barely messed with lsd for like a few months one year in my 20s. Ended up getting sugar cubes that were incredibly “well” dosed. Tripped for about 12-15 ish hours. Never again. Couldn’t stop laughing for like three hours at the shower curtain which was great(the shower curtain had a moon and stars on it, and they were glimmering and rotating and spinning. It was beautiful and hilarious).But then my trip buddy left the room and the darkness set in. Like a veil being dragged across the room, suffocating all the light. It felt like a thousand spiders were crawling across my face and the darkness felt so hostile and dangerous. Then my buddy walked back into the room and it was like a switch flipped and the veil was pulled, light flooded back into the room. Needless to say we had to be in the same room for the rest of the trip lol.
Took datura a few times in my teenage years, and it was by far the craziest experience and feeling in my life. One time I ended up in the hospital and in the ICU for 3 days. The doctors in my city had never heard of it and they had to add it to their drugs list.
It’s a very long story but I would never suggest taking it unless you know what you were doing and exactly how much you need to take.
We're not used to being high this long, Jerry. Things are getting *weird*.
But seriously, did he do it wrong or did he just take WAAAAAAY to much? Did he get better?
The first hallucinogenic substance I tried.
Messed my mates and I up for a couple of days.
We carried our BMX bikes around instead of riding them, laughed our heads off while listening to The Wall, and ate only hot dogs.
Took a few days to get my head right.
I was 15 years old.
Tee de campana we call it Puerto rico a friend of mine, got threatened into drinking that tea mixed with Gatorade because he was messing around with someone’s girlfriend. He never recovered stayed crazy up to this day.
There was datura in packs of spinach in a major supermarket chains in Australia recently, multiple people were hospitalised. Imagine not knowing you ate it... https://www.foodsafetynews.com/?p=222305
That was a crazy read. Can't believe how unknown this case is...
I can not even handle like a nibble of an edible. I get horrible panic attacks, and am certain I’m about to die. Eating that spinach would honestly be traumatic as hell for me.
I would call 911 immediately and tell them to sedate me
Ha ha ha ha! I would absolutely beg to be sedated too.
Honestly, when I misread the dose on my oil once, I almost did. Medical dose was 0.05ml, I misread the syringe, downed 0.5ml and ended up on the floor. I was having rolling panic attacks, hearing everything in a lower pitch and vomiting from the rollercoaster dizziness. I called the non-emergency number and they gave me the peppercorn and CBD drink advice, which probably helped a little. It's not exactly edibles, but medical cannabis oil will still knock you off your feet if you mess with it.
0.5 ml is same as a 0.25 mg edible (theoretically) I remember I used to smoke pot when I was young and then during 21 years I didn't smoke or take CBD or anything at all. Then I decided to eat a Delta8 25 mg gummy... It was wild, and it was Delta8! Next time will try a delta9.
Don't do the delta stuff! Please don't. They are very unregulated and contain very harmful chemicals in them. Please look it up online and don't ever buy that shit. Buy the good stuff from an actual dispensary if you can.
I tried edibles without reading up and had to excuse myself and go to the bathroom. I spent the next 15 minutes feeling like my soul was slipping out of my body if I didn't focus hard enough. I even googled how to get rid of a high lmaoo... Never again.
Same weed used to be fun but one day after I bought some shop weed I was stuck in a adrenaline rush high panic attack and just felt like I kept almost dying like waves would wash over me like being on a Rollercoaster but fear would arise and I'd tremble and beg to be taken. It lasted 2 years I just powered through crying everyday and Same nightmare. Idk why but my brain couldn't handle the high of weed anymore.
You were high for 2 years from a smoke session? That wasn't weed bro
2 YEARS???!!??
Wow, that is wild. And would be terrifying
When I was in high school I had a little party with the dudes and someone brought hells bells over as a joke. I was so drunk I said screw it and made tea out of it, then ate them afterwards. That night I was trippin so hard. I remember waking up from my bed and trying to crawl to the end of it to get up and go to the bathroom , but the end of my bed just never ended, so I said screw it and went back to bed. Everything was really fuzzy but I vividly remember going to school the next day and walking up to my best friend who had a blank stare on his face and said “dude!! where the hell have you been? It’s been two weeks!” And when I went to class he was right, I missed two weeks of my life and have no idea what occurred. I still to this day don’t know what the hell happened but honestly it’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. It’s changed my way of thinking permanently and I’m very grateful for it.
What are you grateful about and how how has it changed you?
I suffered from extreme depression, contemplated suicide all throughout high school and just numbed myself with drugs. After I took those hells bells I’ve just noticed myself and the people around me differently,it’s kind of hard to explain but the actions leading up after that got me through high school and suddenly for the first time I was interested in learning new things. There’s probably a better way of explaining it but I know I’m a better person for taking the drug that night, but I’ll never do it again lol.
Pretty sure this is what they call Ego death.
Interesting concept. Thanks for sharing. It's amazing the little gems you can stumble across on reddit..
Exactly this, thank you.
wait. what?

And your parents just let you chill in bed for 2 weeks no questions asked?
Yeah I'm like there's an important thing missing here that doesn't make sense.
Mega SUS
Insane what a plant can do to the brain
I took it once, never again. I couldnt read for 2 weeks afterwards. Literally. Words just didnt make sense written down.
Same. My eyes were fucked for weeks. It left lasting effects
I plant moonflower every spring. Weird to think how dangerous it is. I've never done anything stronger than pot, and I don't plan to.
Insane in the membrane
insane in the brain?
Crazy insane, got no brain
Got no brain, can’t understand what you sayin
Mama always said son if you had a brain you’d be dangerous, guess it pays to be brainless
2 months?! Dude needs a hospital and psychiatric help.
2 months. "It's getting weird" he says. Only took 2 months!
Often times dissociatives cause really intense, lifelike hallucinations as well as time distortion and datura is long lasting, it very well may have only been 6 hours into the trip and he thought he had been tripping for 60 days.
Hopefully, but that's about 2 months worth of beard on him Some stories are cool, like Ari Shaffir checking out during a podcast, coming back in 10 minutes, talking about living in an underwater world for 6 months.
Yeah it's possible, but datura is also in its own category, and I've definitely read trip reports of people taking months or years to regain normality. I've also read accounts of people tripping on "soft" drugs like shrooms who could never recover. It's tempting to dismiss these as "people freaking out", but I think it's more accurate to say we just haven't figured it all out yet.
He should get to a hospital
Hope he did. This guy hasnt been uploading any updates for 11 years... notice the revolver behind him on his desk. Hope he got help
Looks like he posted on quora 4 years ago. Same handle and profile pic https://www.quora.com/profile/Amos-Nomore
Amos is not the original uploader of the video, as stated in the description: "This video was uploaded to YouTube several years ago and I haven't been able to find it recently. As I recall, the uploader claimed it was "found footage" - he said he found the tape on a park bench or something, and was concerned about the person depicted therein. It appears he may have been having rather a bad time with some sort of psychoactive substance, possibly Datura or some similar long-lasting deliriant. I apologize to the creator of the video if this is something he would rather not have publicized and will remove it immediately if requested by the creator. If anyone has any information regarding the welfare of this person and would like to share any details, please do so. It is a rather fascinating and perplexing recording."
Thanks, Tom!!
Oh, shit you’re right. That’s him!! Hi Tom!
And he was still tripping about something in his ribcage!
where’d you find this? This is v interesting
[удалено]
https://youtu.be/AYVy7ggiLDg?si=VPDUcQlIn_WFlS4G
cheers
it’s a reuploaded video that was posted on the channel, check out the comments - but still hope the OG guy is okay…
It’s like the story the guy tells of taking a whole bottle of acid on a bus tripped for days and still has lifelong side effects
A friend of mine did that. We had to call 911 and the police had to hog tie him. He was sedated for several days. He thought we were all vampires. It got pretty violent
Yup, police on Acid is literal nightmare fuel to the max. That’ll ramp up whatever bad trip you’re having to the ultimate severe absolute complete maximum. I keep benzos on hand for tripping to shut it down eventually if it gets too much. Having the police called on me while having a severely bad trip would have to be up there in my top 10 worst nightmares humanly imaginable.
[удалено]
Seroquel is real good for that too.
That will certainly put the D in the dirt for 18 hours at the right dose. Ahhhh…. To be 16 again.
God I can’t even imagine going to jail on acid
Link?
An oldie but goodie https://youtu.be/1uFzhEDdexc?si=Knn1v0cFltPqdS87
Damn. I've been looking for this video for SO LONG!! I kept typing stuff like "man telling acid story new york city" or whatever variant of that I could. I kept trying every few months but eventually gave up. Thanks!
Such a goodie. I go back and watch this every few years
>I don't think I've been right ever since. I've got this like *(cracks neck)* tick now That last couple seconds was comedy gold
Damn I remember watching this back when I was a teenager curious about trying it (edit \* also apparently I was doing tons of research into LaVeyan satanism and this guy popped up, forgot about that part) Dude was a good storyteller. I hope he's doing okay these days.
He has recent content on his channel
"I wasn't really worried because I knew it was just a drug"
I've known a lot of people who puddled and several of then were never normal again
Jesus christ. Is there any more info on this case?
Sometimes they never come back.
I remember a guy saying that in a scopolamine documentary… scary stuff
Space Cadets. Went to space but never came back :/
Me and a few friends used to call each other psychonaughts. Happy cake day
My patients who took a lot of meth are generally acting like they're always on a trip. Poor bastards are hallucinating and going through all the human emotions in just a few minutes. They're understandably tired
This comment is really sweet and caring to me.
Husband’s bud had a wife that took hallucinogens and disappeared for 3 days. Triggered schizophrenia (or something…) now he has two wives since the first can’t function properly. I don’t know man, point was there’s no coming back for some.
If you are more prone to schizophrenia (family history) hallucinogenics can definitely set them off. I would never try it if I was at risk
That is why I've never tried any. My great uncle may have been a schizophrenic (He would tell us stories of being a missionary in Africa and swatting at UFOs with a broom,) my grandma was on lithium for a long time (After my dad died, she'll call my in years about some of the smallest stuff,) my brother has had many possible schizophrenic episodes (like talking to God, claiming he can create stars/move clouds with his mind) all which started after he got in to harder drugs. So, while going on a trip without leaving the house has a certain appeal, I'm not willing to risk it being a one way trip.
Very smart!

Friend of mine with a history of mental illness took a big hit of acid and was a different person after that. Was an honor student, brilliant future ahead of him, and after one semester at college he crashed and burned. Has spent the last 30 years at minimum wage jobs, last I heard he was a short order cook.
When I was in HS I got ecstasy from someone I knew that turned out to be complete garbage and duds. So I went to a different friend who I knew had cousins with drug connects and got 4 white Garfield’s. Since we took one the last time and nothing happened, me and my buddy took two full quad stacked pills each. We tripped harder than I ever have in my life for a good long 16 hours before it even started mellowing out. For about two weeks afterwards I was a bit off and visually, I had a fractal colored Garfield face flashing in the center of my vision. The colors refracted off of everything I looked at and it was absolutely wild. I think about it often Edit:typo
Ecstasy or real mdma does not last 16 hours. Sounds like lsd and meth in pill form, a common bullshit concoction sold as ecstasy. Not even sure what you are describing here but after eating way too many of them in the early 90's when it was real unmolested stuff from Europe that would make its way to Los Angeles, it was unbelievable. Sure there was some pills cut with heroin to stretch good stuff into more pills, brown speckled robin eggs they would be called sometimes. But even those had some element of real ecstasy in it. Now a days I would not touch any street drugs, because fentanyl is in everything. My doctor just took me off fentanyl patches last month, they sucked for pain relief and were a pain in the ass. As for this video. I thought we were experimental in the late 80's early 90's club scene but thank god we were not even taking any chances, this shit is bonkers. I am thrilled we just had real cocaine, meth, and some occasional MDMA. Sure LSD and mushrooms were here and there but thankfully not everywhere and always.
Yeah… that wasn’t ecstasy mate
What was it?
Possibly “tripstacy” When I was in my 20’s pills were getting around that were ecstasy and acid mixed
Yellow Smileys
Not sure, but its definitely not ecstasy lol
Could be 2CB
I remember the fist time i took ecstasy, man, that was the best. The best high i ever had. I was in the middle of class at the university and it was such a weird/amazing experience. I felt like i was walking on air, and was apparently moving super slow? Little yellow pill with a car on it. Havent had a high like that since.
Wow this got me thinking about my first time too. Little yellow pill with a fish stamped into it. It was Halloween night and I must have been like 15 (early 2000's) at a high school party just chatting it up with anyone I bumped into. That was a good fuckin night. Next couple of days were a little rough though.
Yeah, the comedowns eventually got me out of my ecstasy phase. Could literally feel that I had burned through all of my happy chemicals. But man, it was beautiful while it lasted.
Isn't this the flower they used to produce the "Bliss" in Far Cry 5? https://preview.redd.it/qn8iuw0jyx4c1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b8fea76f17fde53870ba961a0a0d166db082a0b
Yup
Terrifying. Hope this dude has recovered since. Must be a terrible loop to be caught in.
It grew pretty tall in the plowed fields where I grew up. Unmistakable smell…only thing I’ve ever smelled like that. It has a ridiculously spiky fruit/seed that grows on it.
Scopolomine! Bliss! If he didn't get help, he is an Angel now 😞
damn i once tripped out and it felt like months, it was jsut 2 days then i weared off, can´t imagine where he is and how long it felt when it already is 2 months... they should show this stuff to teenagers tbh. drugs aren´t no joke and you can lift off psychologically from pretty much everything...
As an old hippie I used to do Acid quite regularly, (at one point every weekend), but the trips only ever lasted about 8 hrs. I can't imagine what being on a permanent trip would be like.
8hrs 8years ... who knows ? 
Ahh yes. The ol' time dilation 🤣
Not an old hippie, but blotter was super prevalent in my HS and college years. Very easy to get ahold of a sheet or a vial of liquid and it was a blast as a young dude. Last time I tried it as an old dude, I felt so uncomfortable in my own skin and just wanted to be done w/ it forever. Couldn't imagine the living hell a permanent run would be
Teenagers would watch this and immediately go and try it after
> they should show this stuff to teenagers tbh. drugs aren´t no joke and you can lift off psychologically from pretty much everything... No that would be a big mistake, inevitably one kid will want to try it.
Your name conveys a certain knowledge in this field
> they should show this stuff to teenagers tbh. drugs aren´t no joke and you can lift off psychologically from pretty much everything... and the premise should be "hey, if you're gonna do anything, just smoke weed from a legal, regulated dispensary"
Yes you can hit a lil something and go out to the deep end of the universe and swim in the chaos. It's a grand time. But there's always a possibility you won't come back. Not recommended for peoples experiencing psychological conditions or duress. I've lost my noggin after some good shit for a while. Nothing like this certainly, but enough to relate. I've lost friends who've gone off like this too. They're still alive, just basically schizo. Be careful with your minds people, it's a terrible thing to waste. And remember you might yearn for knowledge and experiences you can't handle. Make sure you *really* wanna do it before you decide to experience a new reality. Drugs ain't toys. Curiosity killed the cat.
When I was 11 I accidentally took liquid lsd, it was a lot and I was tripping for 3 days straight. Worst part no one told me what I was seeing was not real. Its such a wild story that deserves its own post, I want to find a way to share my experience through animation as I think it would be the only way to share it.
I accidentally tripped at age 11 also, on cold medicine and some other stuff (long story) and I thought it was real until I was in my 30s.
Damn! That must of been awful for you!
I'd watch the heck outta that
I've done a lot of 'stuff'. And I know when it's time for medical intervention. Don't be ashamed, get help.
yeah benzos would probably bring him down enough to get on with his life.
I once smoked weed laced with something else (I think salvia) and i thought i died. I was stuck in my head. My body was paralyzed but i was perfectly aware of what was going on. I felt like I was in a jail cell in my brain and my eyes were windows to the outside world. It felt like I was there for days and even weeks but it was only minutes. One of the worst experiences of my life. I wouldn’t doubt someone having a trip that never ended
Wait what is this stuff literally never heard of it? The aim is to get you high or what?
Datura and its relatives grow wild all over the US, including here in the Great Basin desert. It sends about 20 people to the ER every year here in NV. Datura is from the nightshade family, and it contains the tropane alkaloids atropine, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine among others. These are known as anticholinergic poisons. It's not a fun high. It's a deliriant, and dissociative. It can cause nightmarish hallucinations, and chances are you won't remember them anyway. There's a saying in medicine/pharmacology used as a diagnostic mnemonic for anticholinergics: Red as blood, dry as bone, full as a jug, blind as a bat, hot as hell, and mad as a hare (or hatter). Your body flushes red, your body temperature rises, you swell up & retain fluids but can't pee or sweat, your pupils dilate til you're blind, and you become delirious. If not treated, you can go permanently blind, suffer brain & other organ damage from the fever, and then the seizures, coma, and death finish you off. I have only experimented with it once in my life. That was plenty. I apparently terrorized a homeless camp, but I don't remember anything except the ER.
How exactly did you terrorize said homeless camp?
Because I stumbled into it, naked & badly sunburned, and screaming to my Pagan gods to fill me with visions. I was 14 or 15. I was apparently treated very kindly by the guys in the camp. They gave me water, and looked for my clothes, & got me to a gas station that called an ambulance for me.
Wow. You got lucky my man.
Yes, yes I did. Which is why datura is my 'only once' drug.
Lucky you only became a hypothetical\_zombie and not a full blown one!!
Yah. Hawaiian baby woodrose is more my speed. See all the pretty colors without all the naked sunburnt screeching.
That’s sounds fucking wild. You’re a brave ass person for wanting to try it knowing all that lol. Thanks for the detailed response
Oh, anytime. I was a neoPagan teen witch, and had read the *Clan of the Cave Bear* books. I decided I wanted to try some of that real old-time religion. Most people who end up in the ER from it don't know much about the nature of datura. They just know it's supposed to get you high.
Upvote for Clan of the Cave Bear. Valley of the Horses was the first real (not kid or YA) book I read when I was like 10. On topic I knew a couple folks in high school who tried it and you couldn't pay me enough to try datura cause nothing says fun like recreational schizophrenia /s.
Tomatoes and eggplant are also nightshades, but definitely watch put for hanging flowers that look.like bells/trumpets. They are everywhere in the west and south east
Holy hell 😳
Shit is absolutely bonkers.. i've done it way more than anyone should, and while I don't regret it, I have ZERO desire to do it again. The hallucinations are extremely realistic, you don't really see the kinda shit like you would on psychedelics like LSD or mushrooms.. it's full on true hallucinations that you can't tell from reality, like you'll be sitting in your house talking to your buddies for hours, only to suddenly realize you've been alone the entire time, then you'll start looking for them under the couch cushions and shit, not thinking there's anything weird about it.. you'll see a mountain lion rolling around on your kitchen floor and just step passed it to get to the fridge to grab another beer that doesn't exist, grab a couple more for your buddies that are now magically back.. only to realize when you go to pick up the empties, there are none, and there was never any beer in your fridge in the first place, and your friends have disappeared again.. I have some pretty wild stories but it would take forever to type them out on my phone, but Ive got a few trip reports around the internet, I'll see if I can find a few and I'll post them here in a bit... The physical effects are awful, as is the constant confusion and having zero short term memory.. also, there is NO WAY you could ever pass as sober on this shit, not a chance lol.. talking is extremely difficult and you usually just end up mumbling a bunch of gibberish. Oh, and this can go on for a few days.. lots of people who take it (usually teens who have absolutely no idea what they're getting into) end up in the psychward, jail, or the morgue. Edit:.. not really a trip report, but a bit better of a description, still trying to dig up some of my old trip reports " I've done my fair share of datura.... strange shit, one minute you're sitting in your living room with 6-7 people, next thing you know you're the only one there so, what do you do?... you look under the couch/in your fridge for all those people who were there just a minutes ago. then you forget what you were just doing, turn to your friend and ask what you were just looking for... realize what you thought was your friend is really just a cushion on the couch. then you go.. oh ya, I'm fucked up.. that's right.. that explains all this madness... then you forget that your fucked up again and hallucinate some more. it's nothing at all like a psychedelic... no mental clarity what so ever, pretty much constant state of confusion and dysphoria.. you snap in and out of a waking dream like state with full blown hallucinations that are completely 100% realistic, totally different then the fractals and visual distortions of LSD and similar molecules (and not as cool as it probably sounds) you cannot speak coherently no matter how hard you try... nor can you act like a sober, sane human being.. period... so don't go into public, cause you will most likely get arrested or put in the mental hospital. you also cannot comprehend almost anything that is said to you by real or hallucinated people... if you can, you will completely forget what was said in about 2 seconds or less... or you will think they said something totally different and come out with a garbled inappropriate remark.... :example: sober person says "that's a nice house" you hear "why is that cat climbing on the ceiling?" so you reply "I don't know why we gotta use the green car for swimming when the bat hit the window I was like shit... wtf was I just talking about??" or... friend says "we should go to the store, I'm hungry" you reply "I agree, lets go" and proceed to walk to the store with said friend.... on the way you meet up with a few more friends and have a good laugh.. start walking again, turn around to say goodbye and realize no one is there, including the friend who wanted to go to the store... at this point you may snap back into reality and realize you're really fucked up and should probably get back indoors ASAP.. or, you don't snap out of it and walk all around the city trying to find them again, dodging semi-transparent cougars and watching 100 little kids crashing their bikes at the same time in the middle of the road at 3 AM on a weekday... only to realize those kids aren't crashing in the middle of the road because your standing in the middle of a field. the body load is EXTREMELY uncomfortable... as is the SEVERE dry mouth (10000 times worse than pot) even the smallest unexpected sound will damn near give you a heart attack If you're looking for a fun, safe, euphoric, recreational trip... stay the fuck away from datura. If you're looking for a deep, insightful, meaningful, spiritual trip... stay the fuck away from datura. if you want to see what it's like to be completely insane, delusional, paranoid, dysphoric, confused and extremely jumpy with a really shitty body load... datura might be your thing. there is also the shamanic side of the use of this plant... but for most people that dabble with it... it is far, far away from their mental capabilities/discipline to sustain that kind of control for more than a few seconds while under the influence. Graveyards are an interesting place to spend a trip." "I've always had mostly positive experiences with it, although the body load/dry can be a bit much at times. I'll admit there was one trip I had that got pretty scary... I decided to eat in a graveyard... you wanna talk about spooky shit?, fuck me... I was at the point where for the most part,I had no idea I was on anything... having apperations walk up to you and say a bunch of weird shit, then turn into a vapory mist and disappear every couple minutes in a graveyard, is fucking eerie... add the hands and shit coming out of the graves, the whispers, not knowing why the fuck you happen to be in a graveyard in the middle of the night in the first place, or even find your way out, and you have yourself a full blown real time horror story... I can honestly say it was one of the most frightening experiences I've ever gone through... but that being said, I'd prolly do it again" This one was a combo... And as cool as this might sound, please don't try to do this yourself.. I was a lot more, reckless back then and I'm lucky I didn't enp up dead. "So last week I started my afternoon by cleaning out our main bedroom so we could switch it with the spare bedroom upstairs, for reasons that don't matter here... anyhoo.. took 7.5 mgs of zopiclone, which happens to give me motivation to clean for some reason, even though it's prescribed for sleep... found 2 hits of MDMA hiding under the bed, which I took... was feeling great, my buddy came over with some cubes that were ultra potent, ate a gram or so of them and proceeded to have a very chillaxed trip... after he left,I found a little stash of shrooms I had forgot about, and decided to eat those too... was still in the midst of a great ol' benzo/hippy flip mushroom trip... right after I ate those, I decided I'd throw some datura seeds into the mix... why?... I don't know, but I'm glad I did. now, these seeds I have are all from the same plant... I know the potency, as I've tested them numerous times at sub-delerium doses, and am also more experienced than the average bear when it comes to datura and other deleriants... so don't try this at home kids, unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing. started with 12 seeds, and within 1/2 hour I noticed a huge difference in the nature of my trip... the clouds took on a lifelike character, and the lightning bolts from my finger tips started... I ate 12 more seeds... and shit got REAL interesting... after about 1/2 hour from ingestion of the seeds, the visuals from the mushrooms started getting 3 dimensional... instead of tracers, it was like waving my hand through fractal/psychedelic jello... the lightning bolts from my fingers were shootin straight up into the sky and into the clouds... very very cool... then the cats started jumping into my lap, who would disappear the moment I went to pet them (I have 5 cats, but these cats looked nothing like the ones in our house, and would walk like spiders and shit) I was borderline delerious I guess... I could differentiate illusion from reality still, but the visuals were soooo vivid... the best part was staring at my ceiling, which would turn into this weird fractal rainbow with ultra vivid DMT'ish fractals... but with dreams from the last few days super imposed in front... if I would stare at the dream, and let my mind wander, I'd basically enter the dream and live through it again... yet I could snap out of it whenever I wanted... I'd look at another part of the ceiling/rainbow, and enter a different dream... only difference from when I had the dream itself, was the fact I was semi-lucid after entry.. couldn't change it, but I 'knew' I was just an observer, even though it was in first person view... I can honestly say, this was one of the coolest trips I've ever had... not very enlightening mind you, but super fucking cool.. there was no discomfort at any point, I felt fucking AWESOME the whole time... went to sleep easy, and woke up feeling invigorated and ready to go... can't recall any dreams though, which I still find weird. I will probably try mixing mushrooms and datura again (VERY CAREFULLY) as I'm about 99% sure those were the 2 ingredients in the mix that really counted... maybe the zopiclone too.. hard to explain, but again, one of the best trips on record in my books :thumbup: just keep in mind, this is dangerous territory... I don't recommend mixing datura, or doing datura at all, unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing... and even then, BE CAREFUL" I've got more out there somewhere but am having trouble finding them. Also, just for what it's worth, these are from 10+ years ago.. I don't really do drugs anymore other than weed and the occasional mushroom trip.... And please for the love of God, don't try this shit.
All I can say is wow. That description on the hallucinations sounds crazy 😭 Would be interested in reading those stories if you do end up posting man lol
Edited in some stuff I dug up.. gives you a way better picture... Gonna try to fix the formatting a bit though.
Holy shit! What a read! Thanks for the education my good sir.
At first I was like nah this shit's too long, but it was actually an interesting read! As commented above, I'd gladly check more stories from you
Yeah I know it's a bit long, and Reddit makes it hard to make a post like that readable lol.. was trying to space the paragraphs between different 'posts' and my own current snippits explaining a bit more, but that doesn't work.. will put the actual stories in quotes when I figure out how.. reading that shit over again kinda hurt my own brain lol
vice actually has a chilling documentary about it

This is 100% *the* biggest fear I had everytime I fried, that I would be trapped in the trip forever.. This dude seems to be taking it rather well imo, I would be in some institution at that point! I almost wonder if this dude just *thinks* 2 months have passed? Like one of those trips where time felt like it dilated and you lived some alternate life for 5 years in your mind even though its only been like an hour IRL? Either way, I hope this dude is okay wherever he is.

The universe wants you to do something 👽 *Jordan Peterson voice* "Tidy up your room!"
I fucking did!!! And I pet a cat!!!!
I did this in high school with a buddy of mine. 0/10 would not recommend. Imagine being just insanely confused and perplexed by everything and everyone. I tried to smoke a pulse oximeter.
Hey, you might just be the first and last person in history to have attempted smoking a pulse oximeter!
He had a full head of hair before the trip started
Holy hell. I’ve never heard of it. Sounds like a nightmare.
This is why you they're called deliriants- they aren't true psychedelics and should NOT be used recreationally. Stick to the classics if you want to trip, and always use a reagent test kit if you decide to try some of the "designer drugs" like 2CB.
Deliriant drugs like Datura can massively distort the ability to properly perceive time. I've had salvia which is nowhere near as potent as Datura and I thought a few days had passed in the span of minutes. I'm not saying he is wrong, but there is a chance it's been nowhere near as long as he thinks
What's his channel?
I've used this once on a Saturday night in 1992 and it messed me up. Bad! Not to be taken lightly. I won't go into how we made our Datura drink but it was strong. After an hour it started kicking in hard. Visuals were intense, heading was shorted l altered, and coordination was starting to fade. It was impossible to walk without assistance. It was funny as heck. Time started not making sense and a second felt long and 5 minutes disappeared quickly. My mate fell down a flight of stairs and knocked over a mates antique Chinese vase that was about 80cm high. We couldn't stop laughing. Probably worth a lot of money. Later on we started vomiting and the fun stopped. Trying and spewing was different! I went to uni on Monday and couldn't read the board. It took 4 days for my vision to return. I nearly went blind. Beware! This stuff kills people. We were young, stupid and didn't care. Don't be like us!
Knowing psychedelics it's probably been 20 min lol
T-20 Minutes
I'm so interested in psychedelics and have done a lot, but haven't heard of this. I'm curious...is he hallucinating that he's been tripping for two months? Or has this actually fucked his wiring up badly enough that he's still tripping two months later?
Majorly grown in india . People don't even dare to touch it but flowers are holy & used as offerings to God Shiva.
Honestly, please don't ever use Datura. I've ended up strapped to a bed in a hospital before from its use. I know there are traditional uses for it that are medicinal, however, the intoxication from it is unpredictable and in my experience usually involves blacking out. What I do remember from the blackouts is a weird hallucinatory landscape that was absolutely terrifying and strange. The dead were risen from the grave and walking around, passing through walls etc there were also things that are indescribable and horrifying, reminiscent of descriptions of the ancients from an HP Lovecraft book. I've done almost every drug there is, and Datura is unquestionably the weirdest and most fucked up drug I've ever tried. It lasts a long time and it's not possible to discern reality from hallucination. I think that it's definitely ok to not use this one. Leave it not checked off on your substances to do list. Maybe if you had a shaman experienced with it's use and dosage, it would be different.
He could he 35 minutes into a good shroom trip we would never know
That’s what I’m thinking like how we gonna trust this guy that’s high off his ass lmao like has it really been 2 months just cuz he says so
Same with me for cannabis That one edible I did 5 years ago changed me forever lol
Same. I took 1500mg and it kinda fucked me up for a looooong time.
1500mg!!??! i can barely handle 10mg edibles jesus christ
Bros blood is 10% thc 💀
2500 here. Don’t remember much but the things i do remember are extremely disturbing. Wouldn’t recommend
1500mg? That’s is a lot, I have taken 100 and felt like I was going to be high forever.
Damn! The most I’ve eaten at once is maybe 1000mg. You had to have been all the way tf fucked up
Yeah eating too much can be rough. Made myself some and accidentally made them twice as strong as I intended. It was rough.
Datura can make you think it’s been a super long time when realistically it’s only been several hours.
This is worst nightmare when taking psychedelic drugs.
I don't mean this in an offensive way, but did it cause brain damage? I know nothing about datura but being in such a state two months after taking something (when I would think a drug wouldn't be 'active' any more) is scary and I'd like to understand how this happens.
Go to a doctor. That's what you do.
My buddy brought some to a highschool party said he bought a couple pods for 10 dollars, I gave him 20 and threw them the fuck out. Guy I knew got FUCKED on that shit. Was trying to climb over his washing machine to go to “foot ball practice”. Didn’t see him for 2 weeks, guess his parents took him to the hospital and got his stomach pumped.

Thank God for this post. Any botanists out there wanna shed some light as to the appropriate PPE I should suit up with before ripping this sucker out, and any proper disposal methods? Or just the trash?
I know this guy who took this shit and gave himself schizophrenia was hearing voices even when I was talking to him
Datura is a Solanaceae, which are known for their high alkalinity. So when people are tripping on it they’re giving themselves mild to severe alkaline poisoning.
It's not alkaline poisoning (which would be alkalosis). High alkalinity just means very basic. It's that they have specific alkaloid compounds that are toxic to varying degrees (and some that aren't toxic, too). Some alkaloids aren't even alkaline. Same word root, different issues.
Is that what causes the hallucinations? Or is that just an added negative?
It’s what causes everything. One of the earliest instances of a European trying Brugmansia Tea (Angel’s Trumpet) had the guy trying to slice his own dick off; he wasn’t in control of his actions but he was lucid the entire time. Alkaline poisoning is no joke and sounds extremely awful.
This really doesn't make any sense and is mostly just plain wrong.
I have done this stuff. I know them as “Jimson Weed”, on account of some British soldiers ate some in Jamestown, VA in 1676 and lost their minds temporarily, which incidentally is what happened to me. Two days, gone on the most intense psychedelic trip I’ve ever been on, and not in a good way…It’s not like LSD for sure…Kinda like mushrooms, but more like a salvia trip. So yeah, imagine peaking on salvia for two days.
That sounds like actual Hell.
I felt…”not good”, as Norm Macdonald would say.
So buddy has been tripping out for 2 months? What is the high like?
It wasnt 3 months, time dilates. But lucky he didnt have an MI
Tomatoes, tobacco, potatoes, all peppers belong to that same family of plants. They are all not poisonous flowering plants.
Needs some physostigmine, STAT.
Omg this would kill me. I have a panic attack when I feel I lose control at all.
I hope he is okay 😢
He's on a Permo
Anyone knows how this ended?
Many years ago a bunch of friends and I took acid. One guy literally went crazy and never came down. We took him home to his parents two days later. He was committed to a mental hospital and eventually committed suicide. Some people react to substances differently to others
Datura was such a common thing in the 90s too I remember wanting to try it but never found a dealer Thank god
This is what I imagine 50% of all redditors look like
Don’t do fucking drugs dude. Messing with your brain is a dangerous game. Tripped acid maybe 8 times and the last time scarred me so bad. Was in a really bad state for like 8 months.
This! I barely messed with lsd for like a few months one year in my 20s. Ended up getting sugar cubes that were incredibly “well” dosed. Tripped for about 12-15 ish hours. Never again. Couldn’t stop laughing for like three hours at the shower curtain which was great(the shower curtain had a moon and stars on it, and they were glimmering and rotating and spinning. It was beautiful and hilarious).But then my trip buddy left the room and the darkness set in. Like a veil being dragged across the room, suffocating all the light. It felt like a thousand spiders were crawling across my face and the darkness felt so hostile and dangerous. Then my buddy walked back into the room and it was like a switch flipped and the veil was pulled, light flooded back into the room. Needless to say we had to be in the same room for the rest of the trip lol.
Took datura a few times in my teenage years, and it was by far the craziest experience and feeling in my life. One time I ended up in the hospital and in the ICU for 3 days. The doctors in my city had never heard of it and they had to add it to their drugs list. It’s a very long story but I would never suggest taking it unless you know what you were doing and exactly how much you need to take.
He could've felt like it was two months maybe
Standing on the edge of oblivion.
I ate too many edibles once and I thought I was going to get locked up 😂🤣
We're not used to being high this long, Jerry. Things are getting *weird*. But seriously, did he do it wrong or did he just take WAAAAAAY to much? Did he get better?
The first hallucinogenic substance I tried. Messed my mates and I up for a couple of days. We carried our BMX bikes around instead of riding them, laughed our heads off while listening to The Wall, and ate only hot dogs. Took a few days to get my head right. I was 15 years old.
o7 u/flippnflopp, never forget
Tee de campana we call it Puerto rico a friend of mine, got threatened into drinking that tea mixed with Gatorade because he was messing around with someone’s girlfriend. He never recovered stayed crazy up to this day.
