As with most "drugs" 90% of the information out there is fear mongering, most of it talking about bad trips not so much physical effects except nausea. Are bad trips and depression really that common? The only other psychedelic I've done is dmt and never had a bad experience so I guess I'm not overly worried but would love some info from people who have used it.

The 420chan /del/ board was a fun read back in my youth so I'll share what I gathered:

  1. Datura (morning glory) is very difficult to dose as the toxins are not evenly distributed throughout the plant. You can take 5 seeds and feel nothing or take two seeds and be gone for two days or worse.
  2. it is a delieriant, not a psychedelic (hence /del/ not /psy/). You will see shit that is not there, think you are in different locations, talk to people who dont exist, etc. It is more like of doing a bunch of benedryl than of shrooms or acid.
  3. It was never described as a "good time". Instead more like some spiritual journey. At best you think youre having a deep conversation with your unborn daughter, when you're really pacing back in forth, leaving a trail of partially chewn doritos on the floor. If you think you're going to chill and listen to some music well actually you're watching family guy for hours, actually the tv has been off this whole time, actually your on your deck and you've broken your favorite bong.

Have a trip sitter.

Datura (Datura stramonium) and Morning Glory (Ipomoea alba) are two very different plants in completely different taxonomic families. Datura is in the nightshade / Solanaceae family while morning glory is in the bindweed / Convolvulaceae family. what they have in common is that some people use a rather vague common name of "moon flower" to describe their blooms.

if I were going to reference an near authoritative compendia of psychoactive plants on the internet, their processing/use/experiences/chemistry/ethnobotanical info, I would refer people to Erowid. not 4chan.
