is she talking about eating it or smoking it? hey swoosh, can you imagine tripping datura with felix?
She wants to eat it. I gave her pretty much everything she needs to know to make it somewhat a safe experience. But Idk how anybody would wanna go through with eating that, not to mention you can end up near blind with all sorts of issues like that other guy you posted lol. Smoking it's the way to go, which is why I recommend it, really enhances the buzz, adds something mysterious to it i'd say, only lasts about 3-4 hours, and may offer some minor hallucinations. One guy on erowid claimed he seen birds flying in and out of his window, seems pleasant lol. Lmao. I could if i tried, but i don't wanna. Kid would easily be ranting and raving off that shit :S
i actually dont know weather i am smoking or eating it,so far smoking has seemed the safest way to go. especialy if my parent wants me back early for somthing unforseen.... im going to be sleeping over at my friends house for a few days and he'd said he'd be a sitter. those of you who say i may regret this could possibly be right but most likely i won't... because if i don't do it it is that which i will regret. thanks for hat erowid quote, i found outy my mum put a blocker on the p.c that doesnt show anything related to drugs sex or violence.... respect for the plant and high caution are really not something i have to be reminded of. i bore that into my head when i decided on thi9s crazy adventure. i regard thius plant as not really a recreational drug but more as a drug of understanding.... something special. and regardless of weather this makes me feel like shit or not i most likely will try it again..... until i see its weet side.... but not soon after the first time though.
I would never reccomend datura for "tripping". its not tripping, its insanity/delerium. that said, i DO consume about 5 seeds once a week just before bed, in order to often make my dreams more vivid and increase the chance of entering a lucid dream.
I've never physically eaten datura, but I have the experience of the effects all the same. Pure insanity. You aren't going to get anything beneficial from this, that is assuming you are actually going to eat the plant like you should if you really want to experience it. But trust me. Your defensive attitude won't serve you well. This plant is going to completely destroy you, and you'll be in hell, and you will in all likelihood never be the same and never fully leave that hell. Curiosity killed the cat. That should be the slogan for datura. We are talking one of the most deceptive and malevolent spirits around, and you actually WANT to invite her into your being LOL. Good luck though, hope you learn something.
i apoligize if i came off as defensive. however you did mention befor that you have not tried it. i will take your opinion to mind but it will be mixed in with all the oter opinions as well, i want to try smoking it at first to get a small 'taste' of the effects, so that i may be prepared for the (from what iv'e heard) more intense effects of eating. but i thank you nonethelessd for your cautious input. and i kindly ask that you please refrain from laughing at me.
someone bookmark this thread for whenever she comes back saying how she sees miniature octopuses swarming sidewalks
BTW - just noticed you are 16. OK. I know other people have tried to discourage you from doing it and you sounded more or less committed to trying it. At first I wasn't going to flat out say don't do it because people are free to do whatever they please, but now that I notice you are 16, I feel obligated to really speak out. I don't want to come off as preachy, because in the grand scheme of things I am not even that much older than you, but at 16 most people don't even have a fully developed sense of personality yet. You are trying to become an adult, and without sounding corny or old-fashioned, it really is a transformation and a difficult one at that. I think that at such a tender age, the mind is busy trying to integrate everything through a massive shift in perspective that will completely change who you are, and to have an experience such as datura while all this is going on would be even more detrimental than I thought. I strongly encourage you to re-evaluate your decision and motivations for wanting to do this.
i don't think all these negative replies are gonna help her out at all lol. Take into consideration how inclined she is to do it already. Might aswell stay positive. There really is some potential for some benefits, but those are the people who have a strong will, respect for the drug, and the right mindset. Sayin all that kinda shit won't really aid her in accumulating those three things for the trip. Considering she takes it lightly, doesn't go in with a balls to a wall dose, and has a trip sitter, there isn't much room for anything going wrong. Yeah there might be a temporary rough end during the experience, but most psychedelic experiences of any kind contain that. GL edit - yeah. 16 years old though. Questionable intentions and motives. Datura really is something very powerful. Not to be taken lightly at all. Hope u got the right attitude for this substance
no shit...it isnt gonna get the point across either - from what i hear though, datura is a very negative "trip" so maybe once she experiences it, it wont even matter. i seriously dont understand the appeal of any substance many many MANY people have referred to it as a DEMON and EVIL plant. and from the one link to the dude that did it - he even said "ive tried lsa lsd mdma meth crack weed speed slavia heroine and many many other crazy fucking drugs"...so...you make your decision OP, I guess OP you say you dont want to regret not taking it, but you may take it and regret that you ever did...
curiosity bro. I once was 16-17 and inclined to try the shit. But those kinda experiences and all the shit I read was enough to make me never go past simply smoking it. there are chances of something beautiful for a trip but most of the stories on erowid seem to consist of people saying, "well at least i had the CHANCE to learn the hard way".
i want to try it to gain an understanding of the good and bad side of everything. datura is a plant that a lot of people have conflicting ideas on and that in itself makes it interesting to me. also, some of the stories i've read on the internet about datura put an air of mysticism around the subject and that is also enticing. i also want to gain an experiance of delieriants because i want to know everything. so my main reason for this is i am on a quest of knowledge, perhaps i can learn from this and perhaps not. either way i don't think i'll regret doing it. even though i may be 16, i really just don't think it matters. and thanks to thg people who had helpful information
o, and i think i may either make a tea or smoke it..... all i know is that im gonna stay away from eating it for now.
it is certainly one of the most, if not THE most interesting plants i have heard about. when my friend was brewing up some tea last summer, i would swear that the air became heavy and there was a definite "presence" which was very tempting. consistent with a lot of reports it was definitely feminine... next time i brew morning glory tea, i may add about 1/10th or less of a flower of datura. then again i may not. may i ask when you're planning on doing this?
