If that's datura, which it looks to me like it is, you don't want any part of it. It's pretty much universally regarded as giving one of the worst, most unpleasant trips imaginable, and its effects last at least 24-48 hours or even longer. It's also just outright toxic depending on the dosage. It's just not worth it.

    Sounds like this was basically the plot of the first Nolan Batman.

    It's worth it to be sure to make no mistake

    All species of Datura are extremely poisonous and psychoactive, especially their seeds and flowers, which can cause respiratory depression, arrhythmias, fever, delirium, hallucinations, anticholinergic toxidrome, psychosis, and death, if taken internally.[

    Yeah, I've seen posts on Reddit that went like “I thought surely datura can't be that bad... I can now report that it's absolute garbage of a drug and the worst experience I've had in my life”.

    I always thought "Engelstrompete" (Brugmansia) gives you the worst.

    In my teenage years some mutual friends tried it. One ran off for a half a day into the forrest with a Garbage Bin Lid and a Wooden Spoon "to fight the dragon". He came back with a scratched face and body but was " sucessful" and happy(?) about somehow.

    Still kinda funny though

    On the other hand I heard stories like hell on earth. Fe something like its Raining Fire and all the other people are zombies. For 3-4 days. And he thought it was all real.
