Datura Addiction and Dependency

Overview

Drugs have been a problem in the world for a very long time.  It seems that every time we try to make changes to try to slow the spread of drugs, people just come up with new ways to bring manufacture and distribute drugs.  Also many “new” drugs have been introduced over the last thirty years or so which have made it easier and easier to get high if you want to.  Many of these drugs are very easy to get, because they are easily made and very inexpensive. 

What is Datura?

Most drugs are naturally occurring plants that are processed in a certain way to make them more potent.  One plant that started being used as a drug in the late 60’s is Datura.  Datura which is commonly referred to as Jimsonweed, thorn-apple, angel’s trumpet, devil’s trumpet, loco weed, and Jamestown weed is very dangerous.  Datura is usually ground up and brewed into tea, or sometimes it is smoked in combination with marijuana, or by itself.  However smoking Datura does not produce the same hallucinations that come with drinking or eating it.

The Effects of Datura

The chemicals found in Datura are similar to the chemicals found in ‘shrooms, but the chemicals in Datura are much more concentrated.  Taking Datura in small doses can calm a person down and make them sleepy.  In larger doses the drug can cause very vivid hallucinations.  Other symptoms of Datura are dry mouth, headaches, nausea, fever, high blood pressure, blurred vision, difficulty swallowing and speaking, confusion, sensitivity to light, and hallucinations.  Most of the time the hallucinations caused by consuming Datura last from 24 to 48 hours, because the chemicals found in this drug slows down the digestive process which allows them to stay in your system for a long time.  Most of the time the person that has taken the drug will not remember what happens to them during their hallucinations.  The person does not have much control over their actions during this time, so unexplained cuts and bruises are very common when they come off of their “high”.  Trying to get the correct dose of Datura to make sure you get high and not take too much is very hard to do.  The difference between having hallucinations and becoming unconscious or even dying is a very small amount of the plant.  Because of this fact, you should not ever try this drug even one time.

Datura Addiction / Dependency

If you have used this drug before, then you need to stop now, because you will have to continue taking more and more to get the same high, which will lead to a serious Datura addiction.  If you continue taking Datura then you will probably eventually have to take enough that it will kill you.  If you are already addicted to Datura or you know someone that is, you need to get help immediately.  The first step to beating a Datura dependency is to admit that you have a problem, and try to get some help for yourself.  One of the main problems with Datura is that it can very easily cause brain damage, so you need to get help as quickly as possible.  If you wait too long, then Datura can cause you major health and personal problems.
