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
You poor thing, take care of yourself. Hope you have a friend there to babysit you.
I’m talking to my girl and my boy is here. It’s going it be just fine but I’m okay. It’s some serious poison.
Thank you for the updates in the OP. Just checking in to see how you are doing. Glad you had people to take care of you and it seems you got through it. Those rashes look gnarly!
I just took good piss after a shower. Pissing and electrolytes are important for this. Haw. Taken aspirin throughout felt like I was have a heart attack at one point. Again, stay away from this there’s no knowledge.in thia. have some cacti I’m getting old enough for but this is only ugly and you should stay away. This comes from experience. Don’t do this shit and love your people. There ain’t nothing to learn from this. Wish I had worn big rubber gloves
That’s no fun. Hopefully it’s over soon and you can get some rest.
Looking forward to sleeping.a long time.
I was into researching crazy plants when I was younger. Mainly in books and looking at the plants. My mom grew datura and it’s a pretty awesome looking plant but I never wanted to try it. I think I remember that you shouldn’t fuck with the flowers, seeds or roots, that would be a bad time. If I remember correctly the advice was you smoke the leaves. I did nothing but look at the plant and smell the flowers, which are cool looking.
Good luck bro!
I’ve read in the Datura subreddit about someone who would boil the whole plant down and mix it with cannabis to make dream brownies. That seems insane to me - the risks just don’t seem worth it.
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.
You compare it to a high, what was the phenomenology like?
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.
I’m hoping for an introspective follow-up, bro’.
Love, light, and respect.
Yup. Waking up and have the shakes all over. Will write more about it later. It’s been a serious experience.
What is your heart rate (pulse)?
I’m pretty sure its still high. trying to go back to sleep
The boy says I’m about 80bpm. Coming out of it.
That is fine.
That sucks, I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve done obscene amounts of shrooms and lsd, but luckily only ever had one bad trip on anything.
Eyes and faces in the walls, lady screaming in my fridge door, big toothy smiles under the dining room table, pretty much the stuff of nightmares. Wouldn’t recommend it lol. I had done enough psychedelics at that point to ride most of it out, and not have it ruin psychedelics as a whole for me, but I think most people would’ve been in serious trouble.
Hope you’re feeling better now, though, good luck!
Edit: Genuinely curious about what it was tho, I don’t recognize any of the things you listed at the end.
Whoa that’s some ugly shit. I always have whet they call bad trips off mushrooms and such. It’s powerful medicine and should be used with respect and love l.
This is some bad shit. Not healthy, stay away from it.
Tired it tongue being numb
It’s planes that have scopalamine and other weird shit in them. Good for dilating your eyes and causing crazy nightmares. I accidentally caught a real big dose. You absolutely do not want to fuck with this stuff. I’ve done heroic doses and all that. That’s not this. This is a poison and you don’t learn anything dint fucjwirj it
…mmmm
Damn cause honestly unfocusing my eyes and seeing weird shit is probably my favorite part. I mean, unless I’m on a bad trip and it’s all horrific.
Seriously tho, what actually did you accidentally take? Not that I’ll follow suit, I’m just genuinely curious.
Angel trumpet vine. I’m still coming down off it Very rough trip. I cut it out of the siding and burned it and the roots. There was a clear oil coming out of the vines, it was raining and I was sweating. My pores were open. I absorbed it through my skin.
This has been way more like poisoning than tripping. I’m very lucky that I’m experienced and have been able to ride it out and down. My kidneys and liver hurt and I’m forcing myself to drink water and electrolytes. The hospital bill would have been expensive or I would have been dead.
This is not fun. It’s not an educationial experience. It is poison that is sort of psychedelic.
I’ve been on the phone with my girl. My boy is selling the lawnmower under my direction. We worked on some Sheetrock earlier.
Absolutely do not fuck with this shit. It’s poison, not a teacher. It does not love you like mushrooms and acid do. It’s poison.
Have the shakes now. Just talked to my girl. Liver and kudneys hurt. This is bad shit that won’t teach you anything. Stay away, it’m poison.
I hope it wears off soon. I’ll never understand why some people take deliriants intentionally.
I’m on my the downhill and should be able to pass out soon.
I had reqe about this shit and understood it shouldn’t be done.
There are panes of glass/existence sliding by. Also, bugs all over and in me. In no way whatsoever do i recommend the useof this substance. I was on my deathbed once and given heavy opiates. The opiates were better than this. Morally they were better. This is some evil shit and no one should ever do it for for fun or knowledge.
Edit: Hope the mods don’t care, using this as convenient place to journal my recovery. 7:54am 7-31-24. Just had 4 hours of uninterrupted deep sleep. Felt so nice to really go to sleep. Hit REM but don’t remember a single dream, so nice. I have had extreme levels of sleep disturbance and been afraid of the dark. Experiencing positional tachycardia, heart goes bonkers when laying down. Was able to sleep in a recliner. Going to eat a benadryl and probably snooze some more in a little bit.
Gross info, digestive system continues to wake up, have an illeostmy, output is now the correct color and the smell is better. Had heartburn for the first time in a while. Thinking about being hungry today.
Urinary system seems to be chilling out, urination is frequent and light colored. Still drinking lots of fluids. There seems to have been heavy adrenal involvement. Something like panic attacks or hysteria.
Still weak as a kitten but getting better.
Edit: 7:25pm 8-2-24. I’m eating chicken fingers and French fries and it may be the best thing ever. I need to not eat too much and see how it goes. Fine motor skills still slightly impacted. Eyes still light sensitive. Made a short drive yesterday and little longer one today. My son says my driving is not impaired other than a little more sway. (It’s a 25 year old box truck and you have to steer it going straight down the road.) Still weak but stromger than I was.
