I had a buddy who was sold a datura seed pod as peyote when he was young (around 15) and ill-informed. He was gullible enough to believe it was a cactus because the seed pod has "spikes" around it. Some 40 something year old dirtbag weed dealer gave it to him for free, under the condition that he swallow it whole in front of him. He was told to choke it down whole (I'm assuming so he wouldn't bite into it, notice the seeds, and realize it's not a cactus?) and ended up in the hospital for about 2 days, not knowing he was high, thinking he was in the hospital for a broken arm.
He said some of the most intense parts of the ordeal that he can remember included thinking his hospital bed was a race car flying high speeds and there was a suitcase covering the brakes so he couldn't stop, and looking at the hospital window and seeing an ant farm of little gnomes shoveling tunnels with pitch forks.
When he got out of the hospital he told me that he took peyote and ended up in the hospital. After hearing that it lasted a couple days I quickly showed him a picture of a datura seed pod and asked him if that's what he took. Sure enough, he obviously took a datura seed pod, and I got to laugh at him for being so stupid while being relieved that he was okay. He honestly almost died. He was apparently pissing every couple minutes trying to flush it out, but refused to drink any water. He was so out of it that he refused water and was demanding beer, so they had to hook him up to a saline IV drip!
Has anyone else been offered datura seed pods as "peyote"? Not only has it happened to my friend but it has been offered to me before. Some street punk said he had peyote and he pulled out a bag of datura. I told him what it was, and it seemed like he honestly didn't know that it wasn't peyote. Luckily I knew what it was as soon as I saw it! Some other guy I know told me he took peyote and was high for a couple days seeing insects everywhere, only to pull out a datura seed pod. This all happened about 6 years ago, and I haven't come across datura sold as peyote since.
It seems somewhat prevalent where I am from, as many random people without much knowledge of psychoactives think peyote is a crazy trip that lasts for days. Which is exactly what datura is and peyote is not.
