Datura is fucking dangerous. Deliriants are no joke in general. That one in particular is really dangerous because it grows absolutely anywhere and is very easy to identify. Source; chemistry was my favorite class in high school and college because it helped me understand how to extract what I wanted from plants like jimsonweed and Mimosa trees. Also no one should do that.

As someone who as extracted dmt from mimosa hostilis, more people should do it than buy god knows what RCs on the darkweb.

That's actually a good point that I hadn't considered.

I still maintain that deliriants are for nobody though.

DMT is fine in moderation. But anything that is labeled as a deliriant will not give you any kind of joy or knowledge. It will just fuck you for a lot longer than you think.

They mention the toxin comes from the rhododendron flower. I remember camping in North Carolina once and one of the people I was with warned against burning anything from the rhododendron in the area, as supposedly the smoke would give you the runs. I mostly thought they were joking, and I have no idea what specific type of rhododendron would be there (if any), but maybe there’s a glimmer of merit to it? Or maybe the…

I was wondering if someone would mention this. I grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC and heard this all my life. Once had a camp councilor who would inspect every twig to make sure there was none burned.

I also burned Rhododendron wood in campfires and brush fires more times than I can count without any adverse effects that I know of. My back yard was completely overgrown with the stuff. I’m sure the smoke inhalation of any fire is worse for you than anything specific about rhododendrons.

You’ve got to wake up.

I have a genuine fear that someone will stop me in the street one day, grab me by the shoulders and say > You have to wake up. Please wake up. We're all here at your bedside waiting for you to wake up. Just wake up. We love you. Please. And I'm convinced it's because of that episode.

Off topic, but I totally recommend you check out Total Recall (1990)

"Wake up, Mr. Quaid!"

Just use ghost pipes for your grayanotoxin.

Had to look that up and stumbled across this: > The information about ghost pipe containing grayanotoxin is based on a single source from 1889. (Yes 1889, not 1989!) https://unrulygardening.com/ghost-pipe-faqs/ They are also listed as endangered in several states. I see them with some regularity in Wisconsin, even had one in my yard a few years back.

This article seems rather reckless. They admit that there is insufficient evidence to secure the safety of consuming ghost pipe, and go on to talk about creating an ethanol extraction (intended for consumption), without really explaining why one would extract with ethanol. I’m all for wild medicinal remedies but in 2026 we could take a slightly more scientific approach than a paper from 1889. Funny though, it grows in my back yard, perhaps I could find I way to study the full chemical composition. I do certainly lack the equipment however.

My genuine fear is that you’ll just brush me off with a sensible chuckle and keep sleepwalking on down the street. But seriously, I find that the one recurring theme in nightmares I have is that people simply won’t believe me.

Wait till you're 65. It's more than disbelief, people start to actively moronify you. I'm not that age yet, but I've see it happening to purple my parent's age

I imagine the native also built up tolerance over generations, not just knowledge as the article contends . Dying from a specific action is quite the evolutionary motivator

> Dying from a specific action is quite the evolutionary motivator

Only if it is before you breed, or you kill your own kids.

It's also extraordinarily easy and discreet to grow cubensis shrooms. The age of buying awesome RCs online are OVER, there's nothing left but horrible, horrible chemicals. Do not go there
