I've tried Datura on 3 other occasions before last night, all of which have been much higher doses, 24 hour trips etc. My first one can be found here, quite a long TR - http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=84372. If you've made a hobby out of reading Datura reports like I have, then you've probably already read it.

I don't take Datura recreationally, so I don't want to hear any "Stay away from that shit" I enjoy gaining more of a control and understanding of Daturas effects and it's links to dreams and subconscious.

I decided I'd eat 15 last night as I had a terrible cough and I know that Datura can open airwaves (I know, not very scientific, but ya get me). It worked well and within 2 hours I felt a strange head pressure which eventually dissipated (or I got used to it) and my body felt quite relaxed. I couldn't concentrate on the film I was watching any more, so I went to bed.

There was random white light shows when I closed my eyes and everything in the room looked quite surreal.
I was thinking about T In The Park on Friday and the possibility of rain, or something like that, just like I usually do when lying in bed, then Whoosh I was standing at a bus stop.

It was like I just said "I'm not in bed, that's a silly thought"

The jump was instant and I was actually standing at this bus stop, I could feel the coldness, It was dark and I'd never been here before. And I was drunk, very drunk, stumbling at this bus stop with fuzzy thoughts about how I should get home. The bus started approaching and I decided I should just get on.
The bus stopped and I walked in, I stumbled past the driver to see the bus was empty, then I realised I had to pay, so I fell back towards the driver who I could not see at this point, this is when it got quite ominous, I tried to ask for a 95 and then it was like I had a hit of salvia, the idea of "bus driver" turned insane and every syllable was the most important thing in the universe, then this was replaced by the idea of "95" who was I to say "95" I didn't even know what it meant so how could I ask for it? And while all this salvia like business was going on I was actually falling through the bus like I was a ghost then It was like I thought : "I'm not on a bus, I'm in bed, duhh" and When I fell all the way through the bus (I could physically feel it, kind of like sleep paralysis) I was back in bed.

It's strange. There was a whole background story to this other-self that I was in and I could physically feel everything happening, I felt drunk as well. The loss of balance is associated with datura, so that makes some sense.

Just thought I'd write this to try and integrate it. I may as well share it at the same time eh?

Check my other report out if ya like and tell me your thoughts.
 
It really is an evil, dissociative and dangerous method of tripping. People don't really realize how much so when they're watching over those who are on it. That person could bash your brains out or choke you to death within seconds. You have absolutely no clue and no control.
 
Well if it continues to relieve me of symptoms, enabling me to sleep easier and have such real dreams if I can even call them that, then I don't think it should be ruled out as strictly bad and shouldn't be touched. Now overdosing is a different issue..

wat kind of friends do u have :P
 
Jesus; I've taken Datura with friends before, and none of them have ever come close to hurting me.
 
wat kind of friends do u have :P

What do my friends have to do with anything? Datura puts you in a mindset in which you have no fucking clue as to what is going on around you. The slightest thing can set you off.

I know of one person who was tripping on Datura. He had disappeared in the house and one of his friends went looking for him. There were at least 6 people in the house at the time. After about 5 minutes, they noticed that the other guy was gone too. So several went to look for them this time. They were in the backyard.

The guy who had went to look in the first place was on the ground, semi-conscious. His face had been bashed and several of his teeth were on the ground. The guy who was tripping was sitting on the ground, baseball bat in hand, swinging wildly at anyone who approached him. The guy who was attacked had to have major reconstructive surgery.

You can make all the jokes you want, but you're a fool if you turn your back on or let your guard down with Datura for one second. There are far too many alternatives to Datura out there to even remotely want to mess with this shit.
 
^That's strange even for datura. I'm quite experienced with datura and I haven't ever done anything dangerous to other people while high and neither have any of my friends. I'm sure it can happen, but it's by no means common.

Datura makes you very stupid and crazy, but you're generally only a danger to yourself (like if you wander off into a road or choke on something etc. etc.). I do agree with you about the lack of control, while on datura (especially higher doses), you basically become an action machine without any thought, you just do shit for no real reason. I don't do datura any more though, it's a dumb drug and it's much better to use safer and more enjoyable and controllable hallucinogens. The visuals however are very unique and strange.
 
I ate 80 seeds last night and got proper psychedelic visuals for the first time on Datura. Lying in bed, whatever story I told in my head, it would be illustrated by fantastic 3D abstract shapes and multi coloured neon signs and other objects which are indescribable and don't exist. All the while I was going inbetween the self in my bed and the self which is still out at the party earlier. I was having full on conversations with people, questioning their existence. They seemed offended when I asked and they offended me back. They were quite adamant that they were in fact real, as much as I assured them that I wasn't actually there, I went home hours ago

With open eyes the walls would change colour, my perception of up & down was distorted, the sides, rims, corners of the wall were rippling fantastically.

When I was verging closer on sleep I got tunnel vision as I flew over a snowy but tropical, high definition landscape.

With this substance I think you just need to learn how to lie down and not move. It will make violent people more violent.. If someone has already considered hurting someone with a bat, then yeah they might do it.

It's partially about self-awareness and being prepared, and what your looking for in the drug. The visuals are well worth it, except from fake cigarettes, fake laptops and all the bugs... always fucking bugs.

I agree; the persons actions may have a lot to do with his/her personality in the first place. How does that person act when they're scared? How does that person respond to terrifying stimulus? How does that person behave when frustrated or angry? Does he/she have a tendency to snap when bothered? These are just a few things to consider before doing ANY drug with him/her. You wouldn't drink with the person who's an angry drunk would you? Then don't take other drugs with that person either, and definitely don't try to control someone who's having a bad trip. That's a very dumb idea. If I were having a bad trip; I'd advise everyone to stay the hell away from me. If you try to stop me; there's no telling what I may do to you. I'm sure it's the same for other people as well.

Just give them their space, and let them walk the trip off. After all; it's better to let him/her get himself/herself in trouble than to risk your ass trying to protect him/her. He/she needs to learn how to be more responsible, and if he/she does something stupid... that's his/her own damn fault; not yours. Honestly; I believe that guy was asking for trouble when he looked for the guy who left. He probably found the guy swinging at invisible people/creatures and panicking. Most likely he tried to stop him, and then payed the ultimate consequence, and got his face pounded in just like the invisible people.

When I'm having a bad trip I find something comfortable to lay down on, and tell everyone to not bother me. Just leave me alone, and let me get through this hellish experience on my own. I don't need your comfort; I simply need to close my eyes, and take my mind off whatever it is that's terrifying me; however, that's not always the case for me. Sometimes one of my friends will be an asshole, and tell me I'm on the moon, or that I'm in hell; burning for eternity, or some kind of stupid shit to fuck with my head. I learn to play along with stupid shit like that. It can be pretty fun sometimes, and I thank the person for fucking with my trip later.

I actually enjoy Datura a lot, and love to take it on an occasion. It's a really good way to give my mind something to figure out and/or solve some crazy problem out. It's like playing a virtual reality video game. Defeat the monsters, and escape the dungeon of doom. I'm just kidding. :D

Refreshing opinion. Drugs don't kill people, people kill people. It is quite good mind exercise. It's very satisfying when someone says to you "I am here, prove I'm not real" then you make them evaporate. The people seem very realistic and with developed characters, voice quality is brilliant to. Definitely not one to do a lot though, being unable to read is quite a bitch.
 
It depends on how you look at it. Blurred vision can be a positive thing when desired. You're absolutely right though; it's not a drug to do often. It makes a great occasion though.

To each his own.

LOL
so what ways to control datura did you learn about? do you understand daturas links to your consciousness now?



....its NOT POSSIBLE to control datura. stay away from that shit!
...im not posting this to make you angry, but i think youre REALLY not knowing what youre doing there.

anyways: good luck with whatever youre doing.
 
he never said he wanted to control datura, he said he wanted more of a control as in if someone with no experience took it they would trip the fuck out and panic, whereas the OP wants to be able to take it and try and guide his trip and understand everything thats happening, have a good trip.
 
Yeah; it's a lot more enjoyable to the more experienced. Drugs can be very uncomfortable to the beginner. I have a large appreciation for Datura's effects on me. Don't try to control them; the key is learning to accept them.
