Hey i'm new to the forums and thought I would share an experience report from a few months ago.
When I decided to take this drug I was in a state where I'd do anything to escape my mindstate at the time. Although the experience itself wasn't too bad after doing research on how dangerous this drug is I don't ever want to do it again. My mum also looked after someone in intensive care who developed a psychosis after using Datura.
It started at my mate's house, I made up a tea solution with one and a half flowers and let it sit overnight. When I woke up I downed the tea on an empty stomach. The first effects I noticed was a dry throat and mouth, so dry I couldn't even swallow saliva or drink water, it felt disgusting. I started to feel nauseous and ended up throwing my guts up. Once I'd thrown up I felt better, but strange. I decided to have a lye down and as soon as I closed my eyes I experienced some strange CEVs. They weren't seen with my eyes, but vividly in my mind, like if someone was to visualise an object. The difference was I had no control over what I visualised, so it was like I watched a movie played out in my head. I saw some awe striking things with lots of detail and colour.
As I was lying on the bed one of my mates started talking to me, I replied and we had a short conversation till I opened my eyes and noticed he was at the other end of the room. Everyone was staring at me cause i'd been talking to myself. I shouted 'how did you get over there so fast, wasn't I just talking to you here?' and he said no as they all laughed. I found it quite amusing and started laughing too. This continued to happen as I closed my eyes again. It was like i'd fall into conversing with him, without realizing it, I'd do it unconsiously, forgetting it was fake and had happened previously. As soon as I opened my eyes and realized no one was there I'd realize I was talking to myself again. Very strange.
I felt much better now, the dryness of throat and mouth had dissapeared and I no longer suffered from any nausea so I decided to walk down into town with some mates. I don't remember much until we got into town and decided to catch a bus home. We jumped on the bus got our tickets and sat down. I thought two other mates were sitting up the back, as I was down the front, so shouted out to them as they shouted back. I later found out my friends were not on the bus and I was just embarassing myself. The bus drove on it's route until it reached my street, the driver drove right past my street and I shouted "NO NO turn right! You missed my house!', expecting the driver to deliver me to my house. I realized I had to get off at a stop and wondered why I'd shouted at her.
I got off at the next closest stop and began my walk home. I have no idea why I decided to go home whilst on Datura, dumb idea. On my walk I was alone, but I kept having conversations with my friends in the same way I had the conversations on the bed. I'd be walking, and I'd hear someone talk to me and reply to them, then as I turned to look towards the voice, I'd see them for a split second until they vanished into thin air. I believed I was with around 4 or 5 people when I was alone the whole walk. I decided that all my friends had invisibility cloaks and they were playing tricks on me. Everytime I looked at them as they dissapeared I got really mad cause they wouldn't stay visible and shouted and cursed at them. At one point I was trying to pull tree's out of the ground believing they were hiding underground. I also searched through people's gardens looking for where my friends had gone. I passed quite a few people while undertaking these strange acts, and got very strange looks from people, I ignored them thinking my actions were perfectly normal.
On the walk home I continously found a cigarette in my hand alight, and i'd put it in my mouth and take a drag but not feel any smoke in my lungs. I'd look at my hand and notice the cigarette had dissapeared. I also felt and heard my phone vibrate and ring in my pocket. I'd pull it out, answer it, and start talking to someone on the phone when I noticed it went silent. Look at my hand and realize the phone was gone. This kept happening quite a few times and no matter how many times it happened I was unable to realize it was a hallucination until after it had dissapeared.
Once I reached home my mother opened the door, I introduced my friends asking if they could come in for a bit. I went into the kitchen and told my invisible friends to make themselves at home if they were hungry or thirsty all while my mum watched in disbelief. I remember my mum asking where my friends had gone and I looked around noticing they had dissapeared. I told her they were probably under their invisibility cloaks or hiding in the bushes outside. She sat me down and asked what drugs I had taken, not realizing how fucked I was I lied and said none. She ended up tellling me she'd called an ambulance, thinking I had gone insane, which caused me to run away as fast as I could from her house.
I ended up walking back into town and was talking to my invisible friends as I walked through the main street. I decided to start walking back to my friends house thinking I was with two other people the entire time, and I was furious as they kept dissapearing on me. I reached my friends house and by then the drug had worn off. I kept asking my friends if they had been with me at all today and they said no they'd been at home. Confused I realized I had been delusional on Datura all day, and told my friends as they laughed at my strange conclusions and experiences.
Datura was very strange, and very confusing. Whilst on the drug you don't know what's real and what's not, and it puts you in a dream-like state, where you can accept very delusional beliefs. Although the experience wasn't frightening, it was very confusing and frustrating and I don't plan on doing it again.
