I’m 30 hours into a real bad trip. Didn’t do it on purpose. Was cutting angel trumpet with an knife, was burning theroots.

Good thing Im experienced. Hospital would have been expensive.

This is some real bad shit. It’s not fun. Stay away. Brugmanssia, Datura, hogweed, voodoo vine, don’t fuck with it

Edit: waking up again, talked to my girl, she’s okay. Have a unreal headache like a hangover. Going back to sleep. Typing is still difficult.

Edit: holy shit, still coming down. Trying for more sleep. I poisoned myself on accident. This is the nastiest thing I’ve ever run in to and I have experience. Please be careful around Angel trumpet and daura and such.

Edit: the boy is making me drip-drop electrolyte drink. I ate some olives. Ate some canned fruit. He found me some crackers. He’s tired of hearing me tell him I love him. We’re all going to be okay. It was close.

Edit: my fucking head hurts. Been a rough time. Think I’ll be able to sleep hard soon. Walked to the corner store and back. Bought the boy every twix they had.

Edit. Now able to spit, gag and hork. Had hiccups for a while but didn’t puke. Digestive system is waking back up. Had cotton mouth for two day des.

Edit. I’m down. Heavy shakes. 2:45am. Had to sleep with the light on in the bathroom. Going back to sleep in a minute. I just about died and now hurt all over. Real sleep is so nice. Y’all take care.

Edit. 7:00am. Just got off the phone. I’ve put my girl through a bad scare. She’s happy now, says I sound more normal. Sense of smell is returning. Boy is still asleep. We’re taking the day off, can load the truck tomorrow. Head hurts, ears are ringing. Drinking water and thinking about some coffee.

Edit: 10:46am. Speech continues to improve. Put hydrocortisone cream on my arms at my wife’s direction.She’s a RN. Boy fed me a coke and a liquid IV. Was able to take a hard piss earlier.

Edit: 11:40am 7-29-24. Here are some pictures of the rash on my arms and hands as well as the flowers. https://imgur.com/a/CqPl8AT

Edit: 1:49pm 7-29-24. The boy and I are watching Steve1989 eat some real old Twinkies. Clear fluid coming out of the sores on my hands and arms. The girl and I researched. Don’t think there has been kidney or liver damage.

Edit: 10:04pm. 7-29-24. Sent my son to take a shower, going to brush his hair out. Will be going to bed shortly. We watched documentaries about beaches, cars, and guns. I’ve eaten crackers, cheese, Spaghetti O’s and jello. Have a truck to load and a house to clean tomorrow.

Edit: 6:21pm 7-30-24. Rash continues to develop. https://imgur.com/a/gvE7wO5 Was able to do a limited amount of work today. Canceled the appointment with realtor for tomorrow. Have eaten around 5-650 calories and will try some chicken soup in a little while. Used shopping bags as gloves to put the exposed clothing in the trash. Took a short walk. Arms itch something fierce, face feels sunburned. We’re watching Lassie on YouTube.

Edit: 6:09am 8-1-24. Had over a 1000 calories yesterday and was able to eat a pb&j. Most calories are coming from boost meal replacement drink. Had a much better night, was able to fall asleep around 1:00am. Been up and down several times. Lot of heavy sweating while asleep.

Think the reishi tea I drank last night kicked in. (Have used reishi I collect for around twenty years as a general healing and health agent as well as for my autoimmune disorder. Swelling of rashes is down as is the itching. Ganoderma applantum is the variety I find in the southern woods, usually yellow or cream but occasionally brown. Lighter the color, the more bitter it is, seems to work better. Have a bunch of Turkey Tail, Trametes versicolor, but don’t think it’s indicated. My belief in the usefulness of Reishi is anecdotal and may be placebo but I’ll take what I can get.)

Had normal dreams, normal for me, I guess. Only got a bullet graze once in the dreams. Feel fairly normal, still a little weak but much more improved. Was able to turn off the music and sleep without it in the night. Was able to quit focusing as heavily on my heart and always having to slow it. Going to try and snooze a little, will look for vitamins

    Edit: my son says that I began cutting the vine 72 hours ago. I’m still fucking coming down. I’ve been real high before but never anything like this. I’m okay, he’s okay. My girl is getting a Walmart delivery to the house. We’re okay. I just about poisned myself to death. I’m glad I’ve had enough experience that I can come through this.

        It’s hard to put words to it, I can compare it to things but it was more metaphysical.

        The darkness was terrifying. There were serpents sliding in the darkness and through me. There were bugs on my skin and inside my body. There was something like constant whispering. An overwhelming feeling of doom and guilt. The fear was really bad, it did something to my adrenals. My wife says I’ve lost more hair. I expect to go more grey.

        Exhaustion like nothing I’ve ever experienced, but scared to go to sleep. Would nod, then jerk awake with heart pounding in full fight or flight.

        I actually did end up in the hospital for a few days recovering. I’ll be writing a complete report for erowid. Like a lot of the worst Datura/Brugmansia trip reports, alcohol was involved. I drank an entire handle of 100 proof vodka during the 72 hours of the worst of it without realizing it.

        I think there is a real nasty synergy between these plants and alcohol that isn’t well understood. I was physically weak as a kitten for a week.

        Completed the move and have been working on the new home. It will be a week or two before I write a full report.
