Ahh, this dear plant brings back memories from my childhood. I had found one flowering in our front yard and thought the blooms were do gorgeous that I picked a few to show my dad and asked him to look it up. We did it together and we were both fascinated by its history and how it affects the human body. He wasn't too concerned about the toxicity (My sister and I were both well old enough to know better than to eat random plants outside) but it made for a very interesting and educational bonding experience with. Despite its dangers, it will forever have that nostalgic experience attached to it for me. Thank you for doing a video on it, God Bless. 😁
wait so how do you get sick from it is it like eating the plant and swallowing or just ingesting it any way, and one questions, how do you use it to get "high" or hallucinate like can you smoke it and if so what part?.
The problem With Datura, is each plant varies wildly in potency. If you wish to play with this plant, you need to test your dosage by plant, by starting small and growing until Threshhold dose. Do Not Reccomend, I am an experienced Psychonaut/Herbalist and if you are reckless with this plant, it will take your life, or have you take yours. This plant demands respect. EVERY PLANT VARIES IN POTENCY
Based on everything I’ve read on this, stay the fuck away. Stick to shrooms. While shrooms can go bad because bad trips are always a possibility. Everything I’ve read about datura is essentially a trip into Silent Hill’s Hell Dimension…
I have a massive Datura plant in my backyard, when the flowers bloom at night you can actually watch it bloom and the whole plant shakes as the flower comes out of the pod and opens, the smell is very pleasant. The roots grow laterally for quite some distance and new plants will pop up next season several feet away from the main plant. My plant started from a small pot and now is around 20ft wide. Each year when winter comes the plants die out above ground so you cut off all the stems above ground and the following year they will grow back from the original spot and producing plants farther each year away from the original plant location. The original plant can die completely and the plant will still sprawl underground and pop up in various new locations many feet away.
I just found 2 strange plants pop up in my garden - plant ID did not give me much but briefly just enough to go on line and search. Mine has smooth leaf margins. L I recall from my neighborhood walks, it is this plant some people used to have in their front flowerbed, a few years ago. I guess I will get rid of it, at least in the garden 😀
Datura is known as devil's trumpet. The flower stands straight up. Angels trumpet droops towards the ground. Datura was used to heal Shiva s wound when he swallowed the deadliest poison to save the entire universe and it is a favourite flower, and pod also is his favourite favourite because the seeds were used to treat him. Datura causes hallucinations if used in excessive amounts.
it's absolutely amazing how all the plants around it are totally dead dried, yet Datura looks like plant from the best garden. Such contrast is rarely seen.
Weird thing is, if you cut open a green pod down the center and peel it open, because of how the seed are placed in four chambers in the pods, it looks very much like the human brain. Also the walls of the inside of the pod is the same texture of that of an apple. I was surprised how much moisture this plant retained. Must learn more.
@@hexshadow7080 This is Datura Stramonium also known as Jimsonweed. This is not considered to be sacred..the one which you talking about is Datura Fastuosa D. Metel also known as Purple Hindu Datura.
@Áldelbert Lıev Yes we are nature worshipers. There are many Rig vedic hymns in our Hindu ancient texts seeking the blessings of the five basic gross elements or the pancha mahabhoota of Nature: akashor firmament Air , Fire, Water, and Earth. The Rig Veda makes a clear reference to the presence of a protective layer which we know now to be the ozone layer.
First is Datura wrightii or Wright's Datura. It is also called ''Sacred Datura.'' The second plant with greyer leaves and smoother margins, is the common moonflower, D. innoxia. You returned to the Wright's, for the duration of the show.
Brugmansia is the angel trumpet. It is a tree in the nightshade family with the same alkaloids as datura. The flowers trumpet shaped flowers hang straight down as if playing music from heaven. The datura is called devil's trumpet because the flowers point straight up, as if they are playing a tune from underground or hell.
I read a historical article about George Washington when they were camped during the winter in valley forge Pennsylvania. They must have been low on food and some of the soldiers were gathering up this bushy plant adding it to some other things and making a salad that many soldiers consumed. They said of the soldiers experienced extreme drunkenness and hallucinogenic effects. The plant was called Thorn Apple, which is just another name for datura stramonium or jimson weed. None of the soldiers had any long-lasting effects and I believe some said it was enjoyable
No way?!!! I live in the Southwest. I cleared out a good number of these for about 3 hours before dusk set in. I swear I fell asleep and I had some super crazy space dreams!!! 💯 Craziest dreams ever!!! 😂They were enlightening as well.
Let me know if I'm wrong but I believe you are talking of the nightshade family, Datura being the delerium (not hallucinogen) giving plant. It's name is the devil's trumpet which have erected flowers, the angels trumpet doesn't have erect flowers which is called Brugmansia. Nice to see someone talking about this beautiful plant thankyou 👍
You're correct. Always thought it funny how we have labeled/compartmentalized the type of psyche experience these plants invoke. Morning Glory makes you trip and hallucinate. Evening glory makes you delirious
A guy that I went to school with ate some datura seeds and went permanently blind. Another person I knew ate some seeds and told me he couldn't eat,sleep or drink anything for 3 days and felt like he was on fire. I'll pass on the datura.
Are you sure he did not put the juice in his eye instead? That is the only case where I found a reference to blindness. No idea why someone thought it was a good idea to put anything other than water and clinically proved medicine in your eyes.
Permanent blindness that is. As for the other things, they seem ordinary, but probably due to overdosing due to Datura's delayed response and its waking dreams being so believable, it is hard to tell when it is working.
Another way you can identify it is through the smell of the foliage. It has a strong, characteristic rank odor when rubbed or bruised, somewhat like that of wet dog and stale peanut butter.
I believe the flowers also, the foul smell and bright color have them open at night to attract moths for pollination, Almost how some stench in other plants use flies for the purpose. Because moths fly at night and the flower too open to attract them at night is why we call it the Moonflower.
Interesting that just like Ipomoea alba (which belongs to the convolvulus family), the Datura also has large white trumpet blooms, that are very fragrant that attract moths at night. They even share the same common name ...Moonflower.
datura is a deliriant, don't try to take it without knowing this. the high from it is incredibly dysphoric unlike psychedelics and therefore it's an incredibly niche type of substance, the hallucinations from deliriants are also way different than psychedelics. psychedelics have like vibrant colors and whatever, deliriants are mostly black from my experience. I've talked to people that weren't there, I've seen the infamous "hat man". another thing to note is that every deliriant I tried gives you intense cottonmouth
Just two words for Datura : STAY AWAY! It can ruin you for life. Just one go and you may never come out of it. This is something for advanced Shamans. And believe me, you're not one !!! Even they are intimidated by it .
I was chastised by an elder for messing with the amanita mushrooms.. no joke don't mess if you're just on your journey.. the time will be right when it is right
I have them in my garden here in Denmark. The seed came from a trip my parents went on over 30 years ago. They still come by them self every year since
I think the reason its called the devil trumpet is because it draws you in with its beauty but if you take it as a drug like many do it will take hold of you like a devil and make you see malevolent things
I love making a salve with the leaves and flowers for bruises, sprained, sure muscles or joints. I have actually smoked it for asthma. Only a small little puff. I strongly suggest using caution with this plant though. Enter at your own risk
I hallucinated for nearly 3 days after eating 4 belladonna flowers after stripping the veins out. It was not what I would call a fun experience. I have read about daturas potentially help with Parkinson's disease which I'm very interested in as my mother passed away from late stage Parkinson's. My wife and I helped her manage it holistically for over 6 years. I'm a massive fan of plant medicine & have been building my herbal library up & knowledge. Love seeing your videos & I love my datura garden as do the pollinators 💖
I've had one of these plants in my yard next to the birdbath so im thinking maybe a bird got the plants started. Didnt know what the plant was till today looking online . Was surprised it is poisonous .. I had to sub/like for your hat choice
I have grown and am growing the double yellow , double purple which are absolutely beautiful and the peachy trumpets . They grow super easily from a branch and even the seeds grow well .
I would highly recommend mullein over datura for relieving congestion. I'm a professional herbalist with over 40 years experience & I can't think of a single reason I would give this to a client. I do grow it, however, as I enjoy looking at it & I can point it out to students as toxic. It grows wild here in SW Idaho & I've heard stories that some native tribes used it for young men in coming of age rituals under strict supervision of elders. I can not verify that, however.
Another youtuber describes Datura as a deliriant and not a hallucinogen because you will literally be seeing things that don't exist and not seeing things that do. You could wander into car traffic and get hit by someone driving because you can't see them. One person talked to their CD tower for two hours and it talked back. Some people have come off of their datura experiences seriously damaged and possibly schizophrenic. Do not eat the seeds.
This plant contains Atropine. I think another name is Belladonna Atropa. Atropine is an anticholinergic. Meaning it blocks one of the main neurotransmitters of the Autonomic nervous system rest and digest which is acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is also essential for muscle signals as it is released into the neuro muscular junction when a signal is sent from your brain to move a muscle. Among other things Atropine is a first line cardiac drug for slow heart rhythms. It blocks effects of rest and digest and allows more of the adrenergic sympathetic system to take over. It's also used in a breathing treatment for COPD, allergic reaction, and asthma called Atrovent. Hint, the atro is for Atropine. Atropine is also a main drug used in emergency reversal of chemical warfare nerve agents like Sarin or VX gas, both of which excessively overstimulate the rest and digest system by overload and prevention of breakdown of acetylcholine. Atropine and similar compounds are also used to dry up excess secretions during certain surgeries or to treat certain conditions where fluids and mucous are a problem.
I'm in Maine and this plant showed up last year. I've lived her almost 82 years, and I've never run into this plant. I let it grow, did a search and found it was Jimsome Weed that caused problems in Jamestown, VA with its properties. I pulled it up at maturity. This year in a different place, another plant showed up and it is huge with so many prickly balls I clipped off into a garbage bag. Our town just legalized MJ, is this plant coming from those that indulge, are the two plants used together for a high or something. Only way I know how this plant got into my yard I White flowers are beautiful, they stink with a heavy sickening smell.
Carlos Castaneda talks about this plant in his books.... If I remember correctly it is said that only if the Spirit of the plant chooses you then it maybe ok to take it in a particular way ceremonially. This plant may be for only very few individuals. Not for most common people.
I grow one in my garden for the flowers that you can watch open at dusk every nite & they last one day. My plant last year had seven open every evening. Bees love them. Not stupid enough to eat them like some people. Once i reached down a horses throat & retrieved a oleander leaf she was swallowing tho.
I pulled a seed pod from one of these growing in someone’s front yard. Neither my friend or I took any. My friend refused to, and even though I was abusing Benadryl at the time I had to say no.
We got this exact type growing in gardens here in South Africa known as Moon flower. Only for flowering and garden purposes, but have heard some people make like a tea type of concoction from the flowers but the effect could be severe hallucinations for up to a week, which could and have ended up as bad as it gets (suicide). I have this in my garden, pretty but I will never go down the recreational route with this plant
Is it dangerous to touch the seeds? A friend gave me one of the prickley pods. It opened up and dropped a lot of seeds. I collected them up. Any dangers in just just touching it.
How safe is it to use topically? I understand different fluctuations of percentages from different people who make ointments but like how unsafe is external usage?
Thank you for commenting but I'm not qualified to answer this question. I consider it an advanced medicine for intermediate or advanced herbalists only, not beginners. My focus is usually more on edible plants. Happy foraging!
I read that desert shamans in the Southwest would take the root and grind it in a powder for a tea in initiation rites. I’ve also seen people on UA-cam take the seeds.
in Indonesia, we xultivate Brugmansia, a cousin to Datura, similar flower shape but have an orange color and the fruit does not have a spike like Datura
Chems from this plant are still widely used as medicine. Only I don't think I'm the modern age they derive Atropine from the plant. Probably synthesized in a lab
1 leaf under the pillow at night will induce quite vivid dreams, often lucid. That i can state as fact as it has worked for me. And it has been said that 2 under the pillow will result in wildly erotic dreams. That has proven not to be the case in my experiments
Not all of them have a pure white flower. In East KY, the ones that grow there have a bluish tint inside their small trumpet. Also, hummingbird moths visit the flowers at night.
Well... No. There are 18 species of Datura worldwide and about 7 in the U.S. I don't bother to identify them to the species, and some may be more toxic than others. I study edible and medicinal plants, so for me a plant is either edible, medicinal, or toxic. Some plants may be all three. It seems many of the people commenting on this video have a fourth classification: hallucinogenic. So if some want to argue that it's not really that toxic, that's fine. My intended audience is not people using the plant as a hallucinogen. I consider it deadly or at least very dangerous for people wanting to forage edible or medicinal plants. For information on its use a hallucinogen, one would have to look elsewhere.
It's a bad trip and users may get permanent brain damage or die. We had a cow go crazy and chased us out of the pasture. When we came back in a truck with a gun to put the poor cow out of it's misery she was dead. The only possible plant the cow could have eaten probably mixed with other vegetation was Jimson weed. Look up where the name came from when starving colonists in Jamestown cooked up a mess of greens.
My brother was cutting back one of his that he had growing (with gloves on) and accidentally rubbed his eye, and his pupil pretty much took up his entire iris for 2 days
So…. I have no plans on ever trying to identify this plant and I would never ever attempt this but I’m just curious… what if you smoked it..? Would you die?
I deadhead mine all the time..i have the smooth leaf type of moonflower..the flowers are huge and beautiful. We have them around our pools landscape..beautiful for night swimming . And they smell like lemmon or citrus. We live them..i do wash my hands after touching them but sometimes forget and ive never felt any negative effects.once they take route look out!.they produce a tremendous amount of seeds but do pop up off old root after established. They will take over your garden beds so be prepared to pick the baby plants when they sprout. The established ones that come off old roots you will have to dig..Our flowers are from my mom's seeds we took years ago. She passed away 6 years ago so it's a comfort for me and they smell great, especially now that we have a ton of flowers. Enjoy!
Most common medicines can be toxic and dangerous if used in the wrong way. I think Datura Stamonium is beautiful. I use it homeopathically which is engaging with the subtle holographic imprint of the plant rather than any of actual leaves or flowers 🌺🪷🪷🪷 🌿🌿🌿
It grows all over my yard in the summer. Some are still in my garden as I type. I know of its deadly reputation, but l love the flowers. But next summer, I will try to eradicate it permanently.
Safe to smell, not safe to eat. To me the flower smells like a sweet desert rose. The foliage, if crushed or rubbed, has a rather sickly odor, kind of like a cross between wet dog and stale peanut butter.
This one put a friend of mine in the hospital back in the teenage days... for eating 4 seeds! That being said, it does work great, even better then cocaine, as a topical pain killer. (It's in natural baby-teething tablets) The flowers tend to attract unique moths at night, and the smell of the flowers is unmatched but really only when the moon is out. If you wanna trip, stick with mushrooms, this one will detach you completely from reality. Beyond hallucination, you will be delirious and not know where, what, when or who... worse yet you'll barely remember the experience... if you survive it. A proper name for this plant is the DEVILS' WEED.
Listen to me... you know how in grade school they try to convince you that if you try drugs, you'll immediately die? I have done a lot of drugs. Datura is that drug, for real.
super hallucinogenic ! but a horrifying experience, luckily when I tried it back in the 80s I had a couple friends that watched me...kept me from going to the hospital or jail.
Any one can post on UA-cam - does not mean they know what they are talking about. Research from a fact based source, your local extension agent is a good one, free and fact based.

Atropine is also a main drug used in emergency reversal of chemical warfare nerve agents like Sarin or VX gas, both of which excessively overstimulate the rest and digest system by overload and prevention of breakdown of acetylcholine. Atropine and similar compounds are also used to dry up excess secretions during certain surgeries or to treat certain conditions where fluids and mucous are a problem.
I'm in Maine and this plant showed up last year. I've lived her almost 82 years, and I've never run into this plant. I let it grow, did a search and found it was Jimsome Weed that caused problems in Jamestown, VA with its properties.
I pulled it up at maturity.
This year in a different place, another plant showed up and it is huge with so many prickly balls I clipped off into a garbage bag.
Our town just legalized MJ, is this plant coming from those that indulge, are the two plants used together for a high or something. Only way I know how this plant got into my yard I White flowers are beautiful, they stink with a heavy sickening smell.
Carlos Castaneda talks about this plant in his books.... If I remember correctly it is said that only if the Spirit of the plant chooses you then it maybe ok to take it in a particular way ceremonially. This plant may be for only very few individuals. Not for most common people.
I grow one in my garden for the flowers that you can watch open at dusk every nite & they last one day. My plant last year had seven open every evening. Bees love them. Not stupid enough to eat them like some people. Once i reached down a horses throat & retrieved a oleander leaf she was swallowing tho.
I pulled a seed pod from one of these growing in someone’s front yard. Neither my friend or I took any. My friend refused to, and even though I was abusing Benadryl at the time I had to say no.
Not a hallucinogen, a delirient
👍
it does make extremely nasty hallucinations 😳😱
I've eaten it, it is definitely both of those things 😂😂
Anticholinergic hallucinogen. Nothing like the pleasant effects of serotonergic hallucinogens id imagine
We got this exact type growing in gardens here in South Africa known as Moon flower. Only for flowering and garden purposes, but have heard some people make like a tea type of concoction from the flowers but the effect could be severe hallucinations for up to a week, which could and have ended up as bad as it gets (suicide).
I have this in my garden, pretty but I will never go down the recreational route with this plant
Is it dangerous to touch the seeds? A friend gave me one of the prickley pods. It opened up and dropped a lot of seeds. I collected them up. Any dangers in just just touching it.
How safe is it to use topically? I understand different fluctuations of percentages from different people who make ointments but like how unsafe is external usage?
Thank you for commenting but I'm not qualified to answer this question. I consider it an advanced medicine for intermediate or advanced herbalists only, not beginners. My focus is usually more on edible plants. Happy foraging!
I read that desert shamans in the Southwest would take the root and grind it in a powder for a tea in initiation rites. I’ve also seen people on UA-cam take the seeds.
hey buddy...do you have any idea how to use the plant?
@@rishisoobah6725 let me know if you come to know bro
in Indonesia, we xultivate Brugmansia, a cousin to Datura, similar flower shape but have an orange color and the fruit does not have a spike like Datura
This plant has been used as medicine for over 3000 years. We as humans need to go back to learning how to use natural medicines
Chems from this plant are still widely used as medicine. Only I don't think I'm the modern age they derive Atropine from the plant. Probably synthesized in a lab
Weirdly I remember Datura extract being used in some kind of Tripple A medicine, can't quite put my finger on it.
1 leaf under the pillow at night will induce quite vivid dreams, often lucid. That i can state as fact as it has worked for me. And it has been said that 2 under the pillow will result in wildly erotic dreams. That has proven not to be the case in my experiments
Not all of them have a pure white flower. In East KY, the ones that grow there have a bluish tint inside their small trumpet. Also, hummingbird moths visit the flowers at night.
Isn't this the plant that was used in the old days if you are sea sick?
Not sure about that, but scopolamine, one of the active ingredients of datura and other nightshades, is used for motion sickness patches.
These have been growing along the front sidewalk of my house I brush against them every day and I had no clue they could be toxic
people keep confusing this with the MOONFlower thank you for labeling this correctly..you are so correct....
Is it safe to plant brugmonsia next to fruit trees or vegetables? Will bees bring toxic to other vegetables and fruit tree when they pollinate?
I don't think so. I don't think datura would cross-pollinate with common crops.
I wouldn't think the plants pollen would be laiden with toxins. That would be kind of counter productive to reproduction
Do you REALLY Know if one leaf will kill you?
Well... No. There are 18 species of Datura worldwide and about 7 in the U.S. I don't bother to identify them to the species, and some may be more toxic than others. I study edible and medicinal plants, so for me a plant is either edible, medicinal, or toxic. Some plants may be all three. It seems many of the people commenting on this video have a fourth classification: hallucinogenic. So if some want to argue that it's not really that toxic, that's fine. My intended audience is not people using the plant as a hallucinogen. I consider it deadly or at least very dangerous for people wanting to forage edible or medicinal plants. For information on its use a hallucinogen, one would have to look elsewhere.
I actually smocked it before my bed during 5 days.It took away pain and fixed blood pressure.Amazing herb.
It's a bad trip and users may get permanent brain damage or die. We had a cow go crazy and chased us out of the pasture. When we came back in a truck with a gun to put the poor cow out of it's misery she was dead. The only possible plant the cow could have eaten probably mixed with other vegetation was Jimson weed. Look up where the name came from when starving colonists in Jamestown cooked up a mess of greens.
My brother was cutting back one of his that he had growing (with gloves on) and accidentally rubbed his eye, and his pupil pretty much took up his entire iris for 2 days
So….
I have no plans on ever trying to identify this plant and I would never ever attempt this but I’m just curious…
what if you smoked it..? Would you die?
Not the amount somebody I know tried. Had zero effect
I believe every single plant has use one way or another rather we’ve figured out those reasons. They are here for a purpose, just like us
I just touched the flower and the seed pod, not the seeds themselves.. is it dangerous??
Dangerous only if you eat more than 15 seeds .It is medicinal for skin and you can even save someone's life with this weed.
I deadhead mine all the time..i have the smooth leaf type of moonflower..the flowers are huge and beautiful. We have them around our pools landscape..beautiful for night swimming . And they smell like lemmon or citrus. We live them..i do wash my hands after touching them but sometimes forget and ive never felt any negative effects.once they take route look out!.they produce a tremendous amount of seeds but do pop up off old root after established. They will take over your garden beds so be prepared to pick the baby plants when they sprout. The established ones that come off old roots you will have to dig..Our flowers are from my mom's seeds we took years ago. She passed away 6 years ago so it's a comfort for me and they smell great, especially now that we have a ton of flowers. Enjoy!
In Spanish we call it Toloache, I just discovered on reddit that you can do the flying ointment and we happen to have a huge one in our backyard 😅
Is it Angel Trumpet or Devil’s Trumpet? I know there’s two species identified by these names. I thought Datura was known as Devils Trumpet?
I have those in front of my house. Blooms every night. Smells great!
Are all datura toxic?
The sap has a strong odor, the odor is a warning
So I have this plant ! Eastern NC. It ended up randomly in one of my flower pots
Most common medicines can be toxic and dangerous if used in the wrong way. I think Datura Stamonium is beautiful. I use it homeopathically which is engaging with the subtle holographic imprint of the plant rather than any of actual leaves or flowers 🌺🪷🪷🪷 🌿🌿🌿
This thing just made me sleepy as hell. Kinda nice tbh.
It grows all over my yard in the summer. Some are still in my garden as I type. I know of its deadly reputation, but l love the flowers.
But next summer, I will try to eradicate it permanently.
The leaf can be apply on human skin?
Yes
You sound really smart
I touched this plant and I feel paranoid
Just found a couple of these in my backyard
Datura better deter ya
I accidentally bumped into one of the daturas growing in my chicken run last week and I still feel the pain!
Is this also called moonflower
Some people use them for landscaping plants
Yeah I ate 5 flowers one time, and I thought I was going to die...
Oh the bliss....
Cross the streams...taste the void. Drink deep, or taste not the eternal spring.
I had a friend that made a tea out of this plant he hasent came to ever since hes crazy now and paranoid
Do you know what the flowers smell like or if they're safe to smell?
Got one in my backyard. They don't smell great, but I didn't get sick or anything.
@@conductorcammon Thanks for the response. I've heard from others that they smell incredibly nice, but that doesn't say much about the smell.
@@cadavercakes Thanks for the information.
Safe to smell, not safe to eat. To me the flower smells like a sweet desert rose. The foliage, if crushed or rubbed, has a rather sickly odor, kind of like a cross between wet dog and stale peanut butter.
@@jessicariddell1976 Okay.
Good interesting video thank you!
We got it in germany too. We call it Engelstrompete
This one put a friend of mine in the hospital back in the teenage days... for eating 4 seeds! That being said, it does work great, even better then cocaine, as a topical pain killer. (It's in natural baby-teething tablets) The flowers tend to attract unique moths at night, and the smell of the flowers is unmatched but really only when the moon is out. If you wanna trip, stick with mushrooms, this one will detach you completely from reality. Beyond hallucination, you will be delirious and not know where, what, when or who... worse yet you'll barely remember the experience... if you survive it. A proper name for this plant is the DEVILS' WEED.
Thanx Gingie!
Usually beautiful things are deadly
Do people call this devil's Trumpet as well?
Yes, devil's trumpet and sometimes it's called angel's trumpet
I've drank tea from Datura 4 times. I don't recommend it.
What is the dosage as a hallucinogen?
Its a delirium
Listen to me... you know how in grade school they try to convince you that if you try drugs, you'll immediately die? I have done a lot of drugs. Datura is that drug, for real.
Datura has a thorn?
Tiny spikes on the seed pods. They are sometimes called thornapples
Do these grow in the Sonoran Desert of Nevada?
I believe they do grow in Nevada, although I think southern Nevada is the Mojave Desert.
@@LegacyWildernessAcademy I've read that both deserts intersect with Nevada. The Sonoran Desert extends south into Mexico too.
Devels trumpet
And it calls out to the ignorant loud and clear!
Thank you
When I was a kid, I ingested two large seed pods of Datura. Ask me anything.
You skate? Haha, seriously though, how many seeds should you have done? Assuming 2 pods is quite macro
Glad you lived to tell about it . Sounds scary and dangerous .
super hallucinogenic ! but a horrifying experience, luckily when I tried it back in the 80s I had a couple friends that watched me...kept me from going to the hospital or jail.
I told him he shouldn't be telling everyone our special recipe!
Can i use the flowers to make wine
I suppose you could if your goal was to commit suicide. Otherwise, I wouldn't.
@@LegacyWildernessAcademy lol
It's also an hallucinogenic
I use the flower for smoke its good like marijuana
Use it..youll become zombie
no it takes like 50 leaves to die but the seed pods can kill one can kill an infiant
or small dog
Its a deliriant not a hallucinogen
Any one can post on UA-cam - does not mean they know what they are talking about. Research from a fact based source, your local extension agent is a good one, free and fact based.
Also called Loco weed 🤨
Cattle are known to injest it, and it has some very severe results ✝️🇺🇸😐
Have some growing in my yard now 🙂
It kind of looks like morning glory only really big
