Belladonna...

[Drayen]

after reading about this on erowid i'm thinking of trying this out. it's become obvious through the trip reports that this isn't something to be taken lightly.
i'm wondering if there's anyone out there who's tried this before and knows a safe(for lack of a better word) way of using this plant for hallucinogenic(sp?) perposes?
ANY first hand info is appreciated.

this should go to the hallucinogen forum methinks

well, it isnt normally listed as a hallucinogen, so ...
all i can tell you is that you should have a guide for when you try it. maybe you should try datura and not belladona, for some (very few) people on erowid claim having had positive experiences with datura, but none talk well about belladona

I think that it is classified as an anticholinergenic (sp?) or deleriant...but not really a hallucinogen.

i haven't personally tried it but i came home when my brother and his friend were on it. it was a scary experience for me and all i was doing was watching them. be really careful and have someone there who is not on it. i left for a little bit and hwen i came back they were getting arrested(in my neighbors house). good luck!!!

I have tried this and I would recommend against doing it. There are just too many things that could go wrong. I too was bitten by the curiousity bug after reading trip reports and such. After my trip I think I read somewhere in the faq that approximately 75% of belladona trips end in some kind of poisoning. Needless to say you don't want to be downing some activated charcoal.
Anyways if you read the psychedelic faq it will tell you that the place to discuss anti-cholinergenics is in the psychedelic forum. There are a lot of posts there about it too. Try searching.

75% of belladona trips end in some kind of poisoningguess you hafta' expect that type of thing when tripping of a plant which is affectionately known as deadly nightshade.
