I walk past this plant all the time and I'm super tempted. I did salvia so I feel like the effects shouldn't freak me out. Rn I just kill them with gloves. We get also get Ricinus, that's not as tempting.

To give an honest answer, it's so fucking invasive I wouldn't be surprised if actually managed to survive a trip across the Atlantic or the pacific.

The question is how? I don't think we'll know until we find the "vessel" that carried it.

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.

Like salvia but worse. And every salvia story is awful.
