I was gonna write my final report, but then I got high..

Humans before the Ice Age were fishing for tuna in the deep sea and were coastal hopping everywhere there are coasts to hop.

Limited trade... There were full on global trade networks through most of human history. Ironically, not as much across the Atlantic, because civilization in the Americas was centered on the West coast

But you find all sorts of stuff turning up everywhere. Not much of it, and most of it is lost to history, but enough to establish that global trade networks were the norm and not the exception

They especially don't smoke weed. No sir!

Datura Stramonium isn’t weed and is almost never used by anyone… also it’s not from central America

Don't, every trip report is horrifying, there are better ways to get high, that are also safer.

On top of being a bad experience datura doses are very hard to get right, you are very likely to overdose and die. And like I said, If you don't die, you will get a traumatic experience that can possibly fuck your mental health for decades.

Alternative drugs exist if you want to get high. Please check trip reports and harm reduction sources before trying anything.

isn't that like the nightmare drug, that you can rather easily die from?

I also did salvia but I wouldn't touch datura with a 10 ft pole.

I tried stramonium a couple times by smoking some seeds, I would describe it as unpleasant enough to not bother again, in the just not worth it category.

Hi, drug nerd here. Especially psychedelic plants and fungi.

Don't.

And not just because I tried it in my twenties and had a really horrible time. But also because I've learned a lot in the last two decades about the plant, and that potency can vary significantly.

A dose someone took in a trip report where they had mild effects could cause temporary or permanent blindness for you. Because the plant that you are consuming may be a lot more potent than theirs was.

But yes, the trip is horrible. If you want to know what it's like it's a form of delirium. So if you've ever been up for long periods of time and your mind has started playing tricks on you, it's like that. On top of this you also experience urinary retention, which means I spent the night getting up to use the bathroom while delirious and being unable to pee.

And remember I mentioned temporary blindness, I had what you could call the opposite of tunnel vision. I wasn't able to focus and could really only see using my peripheral vision. This effect lasted well into the next day.

And while I was actually high, I was mostly experiencing audio hallucinations and I just wanted it to be over so I tried to sleep through it. About the only interesting anecdote I have is that I got up in the middle of the night to turn off a CD that was on repeat, only to find that I had unplugged the stereo hours before.

No insight aside from don't drink datura.

For a similar and safer visionary effect, try staying up for 2 days. It's basically the same feeling but without all of the side effects. There's also the old formulation of Dramamine, I don't remember what it's called but very similar deliriant but in a measured dose.

And none of those I would really consider fun or especially insightful. Considering most of us are familiar with sleep deprivation anyway.

But birds aren't real, haven't you heard?

Have to be migratory, of course.

It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios!

Damn Central American Swallows!

That was what I thought until I reached this part with a link to another paper.

Charred capsules of Datura stramonium were recovered in a Middle Bronze Age ritual pit at Prats, Andorra, ca. 1600 BCE

ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT COCONUTS MIGRATE?
