Jimsonweed Puns

I know datura is poisonous when ingested, but I’m currently freaking out a bit.

I was just on a walk and stumbled upon some datura skeletons with dried up seed pods and decided to pick one to put in a little vase at home. I stayed clear of the seed pod as to not get pricked, and just pulled off from the stem with no gloves.

Almost immediately I became incredibly nauseous and dizzy, and almost thought I’d lose my lunch.

Can anyone tell me if I’m in the clear? I mean, datura isn’t poisonous to touch, right? Send help!

I live in Virginia, and I only seed datura, specifically stramonium on the roadside. I don't know if it's just easier to spot on the road or if It actually prefers the conditions. I don't know why.

I was exploring my woods and I think I found some jimsonweed. I've heard it could get you high. Should I take it and if so how?

I know there has been an ongoing debate about historical distribution of D. stramonium in Europe. Last I checked it seemed the experts were on the side of it being introduced to Europe in colonial times, though a lot of writing refers to it existing in ancient times. I know info about archaeobotany has been moving fast so was wondering if there are any new updates on this? Thank you.

First, this plant is VERY dangerous. PLEASE DO NOT attempt to take it solely based on reading this reddit post, I am not responsible for your injuries/deaths if it comes to that. Do your own research.

Recently, I got the brilliant idea to do jimsonweed (datura stramonium). I understand how risky and incredibly dangerous it is. Believe me, I understand and respect the risks 100%.

Anyway, I did my research for about a month before actually purchasing the seeds. I found a wonderful website that sold them for gardening and medicinal purposes, and i bought them. They came in a little envelope with a big disclaimer written across the front, I assumed that this meant it was the real deal (as the toxic part is also the psychedelic part).

I told my friend about it, let's call him Thom, and we decided for safety, we would alternate. Here was our plan: I was going to trip first while Thom watched over me to make sure I didn't literally die or do something dumb. A week later, he would go while I watched him. It seemed like a solid, cautious plan. Then we actually did it.

I took about 10 seeds orally. Then we put on a movie and waited. After around 2 hours, I still had felt nothing. No confusion, no dizziness, no hallucinations, no anything. I felt dead sober. After around 4 hours from consumption, I still didn't feel anything, and we decided we would try again another time.

I couldn't find much on the internet, so now I've come to reddit. I did read that all jimsonweed has different levels of hallucinogenic properties, so that is my best guess. Otherwise, I'm wondering if I should crush them, make a tea, eat more, etc. but I'm not an expert, so I didn't want to make assumptions about something lethal.

Thanks!

Well where I should start. I’m going to try to make this as easy to fallow as possible I hope I can actually do that because I can barley fallow it myself. I recall my friend David telling me about Angels Trumpet and how cool it was but I guess he left out all the bad shit he saw. I had come across the plant itself many times never knowing what it actually was. I had obtained a large quantity (about 90) Datura Stramonium seeds from a friend. I read a few hundred articles about it in various places on the internet. I read that datura contains both atropine and scopolamine that interface directly with the CNS (central nervous system) so I know this is going to be very hard to control and could have prolonging aftereffects. I came to the conclusion to do a small amount.

Now to the story, it was a Friday night I was bored nothing to do so I figure it was about time to take the seeds a bought nearly a month ago. I wanted to do it when I had a long period of time to recover. So I took a deep breath and poured 35 seeds into my mouth and chewed them for about 2 seconds and about gagged and quickly swallowed them and chased it with water. About 5 mins later I remember this should take about 30 min to 3 hrs to start so I start playing half life and at about the part when you start meeting marines is when I felt a little weird.

I take a look around and feel my legs getting a little numb so I figured I have to stand up for a bit well that didn’t work I just fell over. I remember taking it and remember other people saying that they get all drunken feeling so I just disregarded it and got back on my computer. I feel a lot weirder now then I did on the floor, I don’t know how long I was there but all I know is that I’m in a different state of mind now. I look back at my monitor and I try to move the mouse and it’s gone. After a wile of trying to find it I give up and use my keyboard. All I wanted to do is play some music so after like 60 Ctrl-Alt-Dels I come to the conclusion it’s frozen so I restart. Nothing happened, I do it again and again and finally it starts (I’m not sure if this was just the datura or my computer was fucking up). The computer started and I forgot my password and I am so mad, all I want to do is play some music. Then I punch the keyboard it works but my sink started t

The seeds look a little premature but im going to see if can successfully grow anything from it. Datura stramonium: toxicity(high). So I should be careful.

I was browsing a list of natural drugs, and I came across Jimsonweed. I tried to do some research on it, but I really couldn't find much. I have some questions on it.

First of all. How dangerous is it? I know it's in the Datura family, which is the same as Angel's Trumpet, which I know to be highly poisonous. What are the real dangers of Jimsonweed, and where do they come from?

Second. Where would you actually get it? I live in California. Would I have to order it, or grow it myself?

Third. How do you actually do it? From what I've researched, you smoke it, but do you smoke the fresh, or dried leaves, and do you smoke it out of a pipe (crack pipe), bong, or a like a weed pipe?

Just a disclaimer. I'm merely curious about it. I wouldn't be doing it.

Are you an experimental botanist?

I had one of these plants pop-up and read all about them. Interesting:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datura_stramonium

If you’d like the seeds, I’ve been pulling the pods off the tree.

I have a bunch of this stuff just wondering how I should get rid of it! I have a lot of information on it

It's also called "datura".

Here I am like a chump, killing weeds to grow crops, when I could just cut out the middle part and sell the weeds straight to druggies.

I got this jimsonweed (Datura wrightii) in early October. I kept it from freezing during the winter. It's been in my courtyard; sunlight is maybe 1-5 PM. The winter has been somewhat wet. Lately I've been trying to avoid overwatering -- it wasn't watered last week, for example.

This was the one plant from which I was expecting the least trouble. It spread out some over the winter, but the pictures show problems:

• It had a lot more leaves in early December.
• The leaves have those little bits that someone suggested are bites, and I guess they spread into those larger brown damage areas.
• And today, to top all, I noticed that several leaves have white powder-looking stuff. It does not brush off when rubbed with fingers. A fungus, I guess? We got thunderstorms last night, for what it's worth.

Any suggestions?

(Until about the first freeze, I saw a lot of bugs that look like lacewings, but those are predators.)

So I was about 19-20 I grabbed a couple pants out of a cornfield during the fall. I came home and put some leaves in a strainer and boiled it for about 10 minutes then let it sit on a low temp for about another 7-8 minutes. It was done! I'm still young and highly uneducated about this plant. I've just heard that it was a crazy experience. An Experience that I clearly was not ready for. And yes Witches used a concentrated version of this plant made into an ointment and would cover a broomstick with it and insert it into their Vagina. Thats where the modern witch riding a broomstick comes from. Anyway, the last pot was dark amber, the first two were lightly colored almost looked like urine. Eh... So I drank 2 small cups of the first two brews, and I decided to drink the amber one... Thats when stuff starts getting weird. The sky turns purple, I can read the clocks anymore, the numbers were changing and looked like they had mold on them. So I called my friend because I needed a ride to pick up some Xanax and a bottle of Codine syrup incase anything went wrong. I took a few Xanax and Drank the syrup to calm down. He told me I was talking to people in the back seat that weren't there. I said haha gnarly, As I suddenly snapped back into reality for a split second. Then I'm out there again. Smoking imaginary cigarettes. I come home and go down stairs to lay down. This Is when I realize I may have taken to much. I dropped a cigarette I thought I was smoking and realized I never was. Ok this is getting boring so I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. I believe I may have gone to sleep for a little while, I wake up and I am inside a bar talking to people, were having a great time until it all goes black and I'm back inside my basement. My sense of reality is gone at this point. I slightly remember talking to someone who said they were dead.... freaked me out a little bit. So I go upstairs and start talking about going to dinner with the president and said I need to get dressed. My parents said WHAT? thinking I was just joking but they told me when they looked in my eyes they had never seen a look so lost, so gone, so insane. I tried to put shoes in the microwave to turn them into pop tarts... ahaha. After my mom stopped me from that she told me she loves me and didn't know what I was on so I had to leave the house and go sleep it off in my car. I said ok, so I'm chilling in my car when all of a sudden.... A FUCKING HEARSE PULLS UP!
