long drawnout datura experience
me and many of my friends have been "playing"/experimenting with datura for quite some time, my first trip was about 15 years ago.... since my first time i usually took the way of 'over-dose', that is take an amount that will put you in a place where you have no control over the trip, talking to people that arent there, playing out senarios that arent real, saying things that make no sence, etc. etc..... the reason is that if you dont get over the 'threshold' you feel like total shit for the rest of the day or longer, i mean bad news... unless you take the minute dose before bed route...ive eaten several whole seed pods at a time, in tea or raw...(i prefere tea)... because its the most potent part of the plant, but have tried every other part as well... smoking the leaf for example is nice and mellow and can impart a more visual experience and is good for asthma....
we usually have baby sitters because most people black out, and if someone writes down what you do and say, not only will it be hillarious, but it usually jogs the memory... (for some reason i dont fully black out at all) or you may hurt yourself, ie. woody tried to drink gasoline, and amy wanted to drive, tom did a strip tease in front of a friends parents...
everyone who does it says "im never doing that shit again", but some of us are drawn back to it for some dumb reason, ernie more than anyone i know which may be the cause of his bad eyesight.... a couple people have had 'bad' nightmarish or paranoiac trips, but in hindsight it was predictable and could have been avoided... most people are some where else, but having a relatively good time where ever it is that they are... amy rearanges leaves on the forest floor for example... critter has had the most fun ive ever seen anyone have on this plant (he usually has many varieties growing at his house) he spent the day on his knees laughing his fool head off... in the morning he ran/hobbled to the out house, he came back shaking his head... "i felt the diarrhea in my pants, felt it running down my legs, felt it in my shoe... but when i got to the shitter, there was nothing there"....drift thought he had hallucinated the joint we passed him and lost it in the couch...
i have yet to try the ointment of which there's the one 'recipe' at erowid, but have heard bits of folklore like the symbolism of 'witches' 'riding the broom stick' apparently slathered with such a concoction, perhaps including muscarine mushrooms.... but have full intention of doing so soon....(not in the winter in MN however... out door stuff... and not with a broomstick)
