Opinions - Is Datura enjoyable?

[jesusfreak666er]

I'm looking for new hallucinagenic trips since my area lacks a good source of lsd and shrooms are a task to come by. What is a datura trip like? From the reports I have read it does not seem too enjoyable. If it is not enjoyable why do you do it? thanks in advance.

Not enjoyable at all. Many people go crazy. When one "trips" on usally does not know they are "tripping" and beleives everything they see as real. Not to mention how deadly they can be

To have a new experince and learn might be why some use it. To each their own

SWIM has never heard any enjoyable reports about datura. It is a deleriant so you wont even know you are tripping. SWIM believes it was Terrence McKenna who once said that Datura will take you to a place you never wanted to go. Just because it is not enjoyable does not mean you wont learn anything but datura is definitely not for inexperienced users. If you plan on trying it please think twice and by under no circumstances should you take datura alone. For most drugs, trip sitters are not necessary but for datura a trip sitter would be HIGHLY recommended. If you do not know you are tripping you might do something harmful to yourself or someone else.

Some psychonauts including SWIR just feel like they need to try every psychadelic plant and chemical in existance on the planet earth (and other planets if they could get a ride there). This is why many people try datura. Besides that, there are some idiots who take it without really knowing the effects. BAD IDEA! If anyone plans on taking datura please reconsider. If you are dead set on trying it then know the effects and have a trip sitter present.

People who enjoy Datura and do it more than once are far and few between. Datura is not a psychedellic like LSD or shrooms. Datura induces a state of temporary insanity, and is very physically toxic as well.

Most people that do Datura have not done it before and are curious and don't understand what is really does.

I've never taken datura although swim imagines that it would be quite unpleasant as swim also imagines any deleriant would be unpleasant. Swim has overdosed on benadryl, which is supposed to be a deleriant at high doses, before while just trying to get some sleep and has found it to be EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Perhaps you would enjoy salvia divinorum or a hallucinogenic research chemical (one that is supposed to be light in effects if you've never taken hallucinogens). Also, shrooms aren't particular difficult to grow if you're very interested in trying them. Swim considers herself quite experienced with hallucinogens and would never, ever touch datura.

I have attempted to "trip" on benadryl, boy was that a dumb thing. thanks for the info, I think i will stear clear of datura.

I have done datura several times in the past but my problem is that I do not remember much of the experiences. But during the trip I have had a intresting time but there are only small memories. much like trying to remember a weak dream.

Someone I knew was nearly committed to a mental institution after taking atropine (an active ingredient in datura) by his parents. He kept takling to people who were not there and so on. He didn't do it again.

Although i agree that Datura isnt something really one will get a recreational experience from. SWIM has used various deleriants and found some to be very interesting but never really "recreational." (cyclizine is a typical example)

not everyone uses drugs because they are enjoyable. The Daturas and related plants tend to be used by those who are looking for spiritual growth rather than enjoyment. The also have some medicinal uses for example it has been used for its sedative effect.
Swim has used Thornapple and Henbane more than once. The best way he can describe the effect to you is its like being in a waking dream. In fact trying to remember what happened the next day is like trying to recall a dream. You can be quite beligerent or even violent under its effect.
It produces a feeling in your often called cotton mouth which feels like your walking through a desert and your mouth is drying up. No amount of liquid you drink can satisfy it. He has to say though that this is uncomfortable not unbearable.
He never expereinced an hallucination while awake under its effect but he has had some extreamly strange dreams at higher doses where its sedative effects knocked him out for a couple of hours.
Often during these dreams information is presented to him in the form of a book, scroll or PC screen and he just have to sit there and read it!

This forum does not support or encourage the use of datura, and related species, in any way, shape, or form. The average effect will land you in the hospital in leather-restraints for 3 days until you stabilize. If you are stupid enough to go ahead and try this, you will get what you deserve. And if we hear about you giving this to anyone else - you better run.

Um sorry Nagognog but I have to say your post is obnoxious and without purpose.

Compound of experience well teaches us that Datura is a plant with greatly differing potential ; thus you might find a very weak plant and eat 100 seeds and feel nothing , while on the other you can eat as low as 20 and be completely blown.

The effects of this plant are very medicinal if used with care ; and can even save someone's life in an uncontrollable allergic reaction or exposure to toxic chollinergic gasses such as VX... reminded me of the Rock movie ; if Nicholas really had injected atropine into his heart he would have had extreemly dilated pupils and have turned very weird ; how unknowledgeable are holywood's film-makers !

SWIM have had very good experiences in communing with small dosages of datura ; it can lead SWIM into worlds unspoken of. It even has aphrodisiac qualities at very small dosage !

Although SWIM does not recommend it ; because of it's dangerous qualities, SWIM would say if SWIM absolutely have to experiment with it ; start very low and only one a week at most until you find your preferred dosage.

Namase,

Ahu

We are not talking about people using 2mg of atropine sulfate for insecticide poisoning, or other medical uses. We are talking about people using Datura to get what they hope is a high. They won't get a high like smoking grass or dropping acid. They will get poisoned and end up needing medical intervention - unless they have large friends to restrain them from harming themselves for 3 or so days.

No way will this forum turn into a "How To Get High on Datura" place. We have already had idiots asking how to put this on blotter-paper to sell to kids! Forget it!

If you had read the mass of experiences here, you'd probably agree that it is not something most people can handle, datura is dangerous to most and it's not a fun drug. We vallue people's experiences with this and information about it, but when members claim it is not dangerous or that it is something that has to be experienced, we draw the line. What you write here affects those who read it. With dangerous drugs like atropine plants (you cant get much more dangerous than that) this responsibility is even larger.
