Citation:   Oliver. "Interesting But Rather Unpleasant: An Experience with Datura (exp53350)". Erowid.org. Oct 5, 2007. erowid.org/exp/53350

 
DOSE:
2 flowers oral Datura (tea)
  2 leaves oral Datura (tea)
BODY WEIGHT: 10.5 kg
T - 0:00 - Consumed tea consisting of 2 flowers and 2 leaves (Datura inoxa and Datura metel).

T - 0:10 - Feel anxious.

T - 0:20 - Feel slightly stoned. Similar to small dose of cannabis.

T - 0:25 - Quite dizzy and tired. Focusing is difficult. Movements are exaggerated. A 5 degree rotation of my head feels like 45 degrees. The cannabis like buzz is transforming into something unfamiliar.

T - 0:30 - Mild sedation with an intense drawn out rush. Struggling to keep eyes open. Feel peaceful enough to just be.

T - 0:40 - Sat in meditation for 10 minutes. Reality doesn’t feel right.

T - 0:42 - Balance slightly off. Floating and sinking at the same time.

T - 0:45 - Mouth very dry. Strong heartbeat.

T - 0:55 - Body feels extremely drunk. No euphoria or disassociation.

T - 1:00 - Eyes bloodshot and pupils dilated.

T - 1:05 - Desperately need to lay down.

T- 1:08 - Get in bed. I get up every 30 minutes to use the toilet.

T - 3:00 - I’m walking in the countryside with my dog. I try to call her name but can‘t speak. Within a split second I’m home watching television with the remote control in my hand. I keep trying to change channel but can’t focus on the buttons.

T- 3:01 - Remote control vanishes and I realise I’m sat up in bed arm outstretched pressing my empty palm. Then I realize I’m not even watching television. I don‘t have a TV in my room.

T- 3:15 - I must have been sleeping for a while. My dreams are more real than reality.

T- 3:16 - Eyes shaking from side to side. Feel too ill to relax. Exhausted but can’t keep still. I wander from bedroom to bathroom 7 or 8 times then sit on the edge of my bed.

T- 3:17- Mouth ridiculously dry. I have water but swallowing is too painful.

T- 3:18 - A girl is standing in my doorway waving at me. A small child appears next to her. I approach to see if they are real but they disappear when I get close.

T- 3:19 - I step back and the girls reappear. I notice a snake behind my stereo, worms in my bed and spiders on my door. The floor is covered with food. I reach for some but it disappears. My dog multiplies. I can see 3 of her.

T- 3:20- Turn lights on to make some notes. All the hallucinations disappear when the lights come on but everything now has rainbow trails like HPPD.

T- 6:00 - I’ve been watching people gather in my hallway for 3 hours.

T-6:15- Fall asleep (3:30am). Very lucid dreaming. This was the most enjoyable part of the experience because the unpleasant physical effects were left behind. The dreaming state was clearer than the waking state. I occasionally wake up next to a porcelain head then realize it’s actually my pillow.

T- 13:15- Panic attack (10:30am). I calm down when I realize where I am.

T- 17:00- Motor control back to normal.

T- 21:00- Vision back to normal. Eyes no longer dilated. Overall an interesting but rather unpleasant experience.
