A Mostly Positive Datura Experience

This is my account of smoking roughly 1/2 of a fully bloomed datura inoxia flower.

Setting - My bedroom.
Mindset - carefree, ready for sleep.

I’ve cultivated brugmansia and datura for it’s great beauty and fragrant blooms for more than a decade. I have done ample research over the years and met many people who have used Solonaceae plants in different ways. I’ve babysat people who ingested brugmansia flowers, and witnessed firsthand how incredibly powerful and dangerous this plant can be…

Therefore I approached it with caution and the utmost respect, yet I did not allow myself to feel fear in any way- so as to encourage a more positive experience if possible.

At roughly 11 PM, I decided to pluck a flower from one of the Toloache plants we have, and smoked roughly half of it (the white bell end, not the green top part) in a joint. It was shredded finely, the fresh plant matter was mixed together with some overly-dry cannabis that I had grown rather immune to, smoking over many months since harvest.

The presence of the wet flower material caused the joint to burn much more slowly, and required re-lighting several times in the beginning. I used the fresh material because drying the flowers did not seem to work, unlike the leaves, the flowers tend to rot or turn to mush. Perhaps a food dehydrator might be worth trying next time.

After the first 1/3 of the joint was smoked with some difficulty, the rest seemed to smoulder and burn well, without needing to be re-lit. In fact, it was quite enjoyable. No strong taste, and the wet plant matter balanced out the bone dry cannabis nicely and extended the life of the spliff.

The first effects I noticed while I was still smoking the joint. My chest and lungs felt more clear and open than usual. I appreciated this effect, occasionally taking a break from the joint to enjoy multiple large inhalations of fresh air, focusing on my breath and feeling my lungs expand nicely.

It took less than 10 minutes to finish. I noticed immediately upon finishing that I was already a lot more stoned than usual, I can’t say for sure if that was due to the presence of datura in the mix, or slower and more effective combustion of the cannabis due to the extra moisture.

Once the joint was finished, I laid on my bed. At roughly 11.30 PM, half an hour after commencing, I noticed my cottonmouth was more pronounced than usual after smoking a joint that size. This was also enjoyable, as it gave me the impression that I was nicely stoned.

I also felt warm, especially in the face. Pleasantly so. Strangely enough, I stopped sweating, even though I felt warmer than usual. Another positive, as I’ve been quite sticky and sweaty nearly all summer.

There were mild but definitely noticeable visual effects beginning, slight distortions, “irregularities” if you will. The glow from the candles appeared more beautiful and meaningful than usual.

After maybe 45 minutes, I lost track of time. The effects of the datura were subtle but definitely there. It felt dreamlike. I believe the weed and toloache amplified one another.

An inexplicable vision suddenly occurred, like a magnet snapping into place. It jumped out at me. I have a poster on my wall, and the clouds at the top of the picture suddenly appeared as two lovers kissing. This was very realistic and meaningful to me, as I have recently ruminated about having met a girl who I like to cuddle and spend time with, but am still unsure about. I enjoyed this too, and was certainly not expecting such a vivid effect. It felt like some sort of guidance, or confirmation of sorts.

I felt tired and a little heavy, which I also managed to enjoy, as it was a welcome change from my natural wired state. Occasionally my limbs would slightly shift and move, almost as if by their own volition. This was not uncomfortable at all.

I must have fallen asleep somewhere between 12 and 1.30 AM. I enjoyed a deep and refreshing sleep. Getting up in the morning was fractionally more difficult than usual, I felt like I wanted to sleep in more and my body was still a little tired. But overall, it was helpful.

I was oddly mentally refreshed and focused the next day. This was quite pronounced and unexpected. I am not a morning person, and often when I wake up all I want to do is avoid people until I can stuff my face with food and drink a gallon of green tea. Yet I had housemates trying to engage in conversation with me while my eyes had still not fully adjusted to the morning sunlight, and I felt more than happy and able to oblige. I joked and chatted away with them as I made my breakfast, without the usual thought of “**** just leave me alone until I wake up properly”. I also seemed focused and able to multitask better than usual.

I believe I’m still feeling the benefits even now as I write this report, more than 12 hours after smoking the toloache flower.

I will definitely be using this plant again in the near future, and I am keen to learn more.

There is magic and medicine here, but the punishment for those who trespass is severe.
