I had heard both good and negative responses when I inquired about datura. I heard that smoking the leaves was the best way to achieve euphoria, and alleviate the side effects (when mixed with weed).

Since I was unable to find reliable resources concerning smoking anywhere on the net, I decided to simply eat some seeds. I was too lazy to make the tea.

I emptied out a few kava capsules and threw away the powder. With experimentation, I estimated that each capsule hold about 25 seeds each. I took down 2 and waited. I had just eaten a whole pizza so I was prepared for a long wait.

2 hours later I took another capsule, so I had taken about 75 all together. I had found the plant growing wild in a parking lot, by the way. I soon noticed that my hearing and perception were beginning to change slightly, and I was looking forward to a good high.

After an hour, I became very nauseous and my mouth felt horribly dry. I was exhausted, but couldn't sleep, or lay comfortably for that matter. I kept drifting in and out of weird 'dreams' that were very vivid, however, it was by no means pleasant.

For 2 days I couldn't sleep well, and was very tired and edgy because of it. I felt horrible and my vision was messed up horribly for 2 days.
