Anyone here know anything about Angel's Trumpet? I was with my friend last weekend and he ate 80 seeds and made a tea out of the rest of the plant and he was playing tag with people that weren't there and tearing shit off the walls 'cause he needed the combination to get inside. I was just wondering if any of you guys knew anything about this plant?
I haven't tried it and I don't think I ever will. Here's the erowid vault though http://www.erowid.org/plants/brugmansia/brugmansia.shtml
YOu can get the same effects from eating a handful of benadryl, which I have done on numerous occasions. It is not quite as intense as brugmansia though, which is probably a good thing. I read an article in high times about it. The article said that in some places in South America, people 'poison' unsuspecting victims with the plant and lead them to a secluded area so they can rob them and rape them, and the victim has no recollection of it.
stear clear of it some highs are just never meant to be reached is he ok now? or did the experience have any permenant effects on him
Stay away from the angels trumpet! The active ingredients are atropine and scopolamine (esp. the last one). For scopolamine, the medical dose is 1-5mg, the psychedelic dose is 20-40mg and the lethal dose starts around 75mg. How can you predict, how much scopolamine is in the leaves you ingest (or use to prepare a tea, or chew, or...)? You cannot! It´s like playing Russian roulette with 5 bullets! Better get yourself some datura extract (should be available at almost any pharmacy), which is used in homoeopathy. On the bottle, you will find the concentration of the scopolamine contained, which is all you need, to measure out an exact dose. I suggest not more than 15mg for the 1st time. And for heavens sake: have a sitter with you on that trip. Datura is the only trip I´ve done so far, that caused really severe problems. This stuff is nothing to play with!
Oh after seeing him I don't plan on doing it! He was tearing shit off the walls because he needed the combination to get inside. And then he was playing tag with people who werent there and talking to floating heads. He was rambling on and on like he was on speed but he wasn't making any sense. I told one of my friends about it, and he's suprised that my friend that did it didn't die. I took away the entire plant so he can't get any more of it. It's pretty bad. He was tripping and my friend called and asked me about it and told me to make sure he's careful because the recommended dose is apparentley 15 seeds, and he took 80. So my friend told me it could kill him so I said to him "Rob, you can't eat any more of these, apparentley they're highly toxic!" And he said "Yeah but I'm not feeling sick yet." And then drank the tea and went nuts.
Yer Datura is pretty wrong. I heard the worst thing you can do is eat the seeds, seems like thats pretty true.
