>>Datura is a deliriant. Such definition includes very little context. You should try more functional, mindful set&setting based approaches.

  Here is some context: https://www.bionity.com/en/encyclopedia/Psychedelics%2C_dissociatives_and_deliriants.html https://www.bionity.com/en/encyclopedia/Psychedelics%2C_diss... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliriant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliriant

    Cocaine is anesthetic in one context and stimulant in another. Meth can be sedative in specific contexts (according to dr. Andrew Weil). The classification above may be partially useful, but obviously not effective.

Erowid stories of Datura are some of the more terrifying ones on the website. Example: https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=17700 https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=17700

  I'm not familiar with the drug so I couldn't speak to how close or far away that story is from a typical Datura experience - which is perhaps the most interesting thing to know - but reading that whole post it really felt more like somebody practising creative writing than a genuine account. Of course it's possible the author just writes about a true story that way to try to be more fun to read, but there's just something about it that makes my spidey-sense suspect it's a piece of fiction. Does anyone else get the same feeling?

    I know 2 people who have tried it and that account matches extremely closely to what I've seen, it's not a substance to be messed with, it's got some incredibly dark energy. I totally believe that trip report based on what I've seen. I'm not an alarmest person but seriously: Datura is no joke.
