Keep Trying!

A brave attempt

Substances: Datura


Last night I took 10 fully-developed seeds from Datura strammonium, orally. I was hoping to acheive some sort of lucid dream state, like the one I mentioned in the datura faq.

Sadly, all I have found so far (yes, I suppose that 12 hours after ingestion, im still under the influence) is a mild stimulant effect. I did not find the dream state I was looking for, and I slept just fine for about 8 hours.

I think anticipation, more than stimulation, kept me awake an extra two hours last night, and I woke up with incredibly dry sinuses. This was to be expected, but its a little uncomfortable. My pupils arent really all that dilated (at least, no more than normal).

I do, however, feel a little out-of-touch. This is the delirium, Im sure. Its as if I am questioning my judgement every time I, for example, look in my rearview mirror.

I've been interfacing with relatives all day (its my birthday, so people are all over the place here), but theyve decided to leave me alone since my voice is so raspy. They think im a little sick. Other than that, Ive done a good job of looking and pretty much feeling sober.

I think in the future, I will definitely use datura as a decongestant. Id recommend carrying chapstick, plenty of water, and other moistening items, as just about every membrane in my body is very dry.

As for deliriogenic doses, I will probably try 15 or 20 seeds next week. Another thing I might try would be grinding up the seeds a little first. Theyre pretty hard little buggers, and Im sure my body isnt able to get everything out of them.

This is my fourth datura experience (and certainly not my last).
