Datura Sold As Peyote

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.
 
that dude who sold it to him should have his balls snipped off and fed to rabid dogs


not cool at all

good that ur friends ok though


two words - FUCK DATURA
 
im gonna read the OP now, but first i need to say THATS FUCED! who does that shit wtf.

ive never heard of anyone being so messed up as to go around doing that, but if i find someone i will be sure to start a lynch mob. thats taking it way too far.
 
I laughed at the part where he demanded beer in the hospital. "Nurse, get this patient a six pack".

The dealer is a cold hearted psychopath to do that to someone. He could have died. It's one of the most fucked up things to do to someone. U really have to be screwed up in the head to purposely put a teenager through that. It could have fucked him up for life.
 
I'm glad that no one else has experienced this! I have absolutely no fucking clue WHY misrepresenting datura as peyote is somewhat common here. Considering my "drug scene" is for the most part all about friends helping each other out, and making a little money.

It has been quite a few years since I've specifically seen anyone with datura thinking that it's peyote, so I don't think it happens much anymore, but people still to this day today have this misconception that peyote fucks you right up and lasts for a few days!

Al though close to death, my friend ended up being fine. He's a hardcore psychonaut, but not necessarily the most informed one either! He said he went to the top of the mountain, he had been as high as he possibly could be, so maybe in a sick way it was good that it was him rather than some kid that may have been mentally devasted by it?

Feel free to laugh, he laughs about it some 8 years later! What else you gonna do about it? All you can do is make people aware that they need to know what they're taking, and laugh about it.

Hopefully people will learn something and maybe get a nervous chuckle out of this, but here's some more details about his trip:

His delerium started with him going home in the middle of the night and going into his mom's office. His mom came in and asked him what he was doing. He was sorting through files as if he was at work. She told him to go to bed and sleep "it" off. A little later he ended up in his dad's office this time. When his parents came in, it was about 4 a.m. on a monday morning and he was talking on the phone but no one was on the other end. When he got off the phone he told his parents that he needed to drive to their cabin some 2 hours away and pick up his drumset! His buddy's were coming over to jam! (Remember it's 4 a.m. on a monday while he's talking to a dial tone).

His parents took him to the hospital and because he was so delerious, he didn't know he was high so the doctors thought he may have fallen on his head. After they did some tests they realized he was on something. His mind convinced him that he was there for a broken arm, so imagine this: The doctor is talking to him about taking drugs and my buddy thinking his arm is broken says, "I know what you're gonna say doctor, just stay off of it for a week and I'll be fine"!
 
someones needs to dose him out something good and leave him in the woods...

i would rather like to be heavily dosed with acid and left in the forest..

Nah...

If you were going to take revenge on someone for something like that you would break both of their legs, drive them out to the desert and leave them with only a gallon jug of water with quite a lot of LSD in it.... actually that would be a waste of DMT....

Give the fucker some datura tea to sip on....
 
thats really fucked up for someone to do that to someone else.

however, its pretty fucked up that someone would just swallow that without any knowledge, pretty stupid.
 
I would probably take revenge on someone for something like this, i know the whole eye for an eye thing is not a great way to live but he could have died.

he would be getting dosed with datura completely unknowingly if he did that to me....

granted im not dumb enough to eat a datura seed pod....

I would also do this based on the principle that the dealer would definitely never do this again after that experience.
