Internet Recipe For Tea Nearly Kills Teen
January 20, 2006 - local6.com
 
A batch of homemade tea made from a common flower in Central Florida has left a 17-year-old Titusville, Fla., boy fighting for his life, according to a Local 6 News report.
David O'Bryan Taylor, known as Bryan, is at Florida Hospital in Orlando waiting to find out why his heart is misfiring and whether he'll need a pacemaker.
About two weeks ago, Taylor brewed a batch of tea from the leaves or flowers of an Angel's Trumpet to get high, according to Local 6 News partner Florida Today.
Taylor said he followed directions he found on the Internet and accidentally overdosed. The drink nearly killed him, according to the report.
"I'm scared to death for him," his mother, Gloria Ryle told Florida Today. "They wake him up at night because his heart skipped seven beats and he doesn't even know it."
The shrub-tree with trumpet-like flowers is common in Florida and occasionally has been controversial because of its use as a hallucinogen.
In 1995, the city of Maitland banned planting Angel's Trumpet after two teens there died after ingesting it. Locally, in 2000, two teens from Indian Harbour Beach were hospitalized after drinking the poisonous tea, according to the report.
Local law enforcement officers and others say they've seen only a few cases over the past decade, but one is too many.
"It's not very common at all, nor would we like it to be," said Titusville Police Department spokesman Warren Van Vuren.
Five years ago, the Centers for Disease Control reported that more than 230 people had died in one year from psychotropic drugs of all types in Florida, including Angel's Trumpet.

Or the instructions were flawed... either way, yet another victim of the war on drugs. When we lie to our children about the supposed dangers of Cannabis, etc, it only stands to reason that they don't believe us when we tell them about the real dangers of something like Datura.

Angel's trumpets, morning glories... To me that's like huffing glue.
There's too many fine drugs available like shrooms, fine herb, and LSD, so why the fuck be impatient to get high and get high on some bullshit?

Good question. Bored, dumb kids + datura = disaster, I guess.

This kid coulda bought salvia, shrooms, or LSD. And if it was the excitement of the extraction process he was after... why not try DMT instead?

Very well said. It is sad that more people don't recognize this. So many instances where kids parents are extremely paranoid about drugs and blow marijuana way out of proportion. These kids end up huffing glue, inhaling air dusters, etc and actually hurting themselves. Where as if they just had a mutual understanding with their parents that they would smoke pot in a responsible fashion they wouldn't resort to such extreme measures to get high.

Or the potentcy for datura is so different for each plant it is hard to get a accurate dose.

Or perhaps they could be taught that drugs like pot, LSD, and shrooms, while not necessarily harmful to adults, could be damaging to the developing mind of a maturing young adult(such as teens), and therefore might not be such a good idea for them to try just yet. Have them do research on the drugs and put forth both the positive and the negative aspects of whatever drug they are interested in.

Remove morning glory, replace with coricidin or robotussin and I agree. Morning glory seeds have been used for many many centuries in mexico along with peyote and salvia. It isn't the cheap high it seems. Only when people download the anarchist cookbook, and think they're getting acid is it fucking stupid.
Honestly, I think I'd rather huff a fucking marker than try my luck with a good size datura dose. That stuff really scares the shit out of me.

Agreed
yeah I'm talking about the shit kids do. When I was a teen I had plenty of access to LSD, shrooms, weed, I never thought very much about cheap highs.

Teen Leaves Hospital After 'Flower' Tea Stops Heart
January 27, 2006 - local6.com
A teen in Titusville, Fla., who nearly died after drinking a batch of tea made from a common flower is out of the hospital Friday, according to Local 6 News.
David O'Bryan Taylor, known as Bryan, reportedly used an Internet recipe to make Angel's Trumpet flowers into a tea to get high.
After drinking the tea, Taylor's heart gave out and he remained on life support for five days.
Doctors said Taylor's heart beat is still erratic and he may need a pacemaker. He will also need to see a cardiologist for the remainder of his life.
The shrub-tree with trumpet-like flowers is common in Florida and occasionally has been controversial because of its use as a hallucinogen.
In 1995, the city of Maitland banned planting Angel's Trumpet after two teens there died after ingesting it. Locally, in 2000, two teens from Indian Harbour Beach were hospitalized after drinking the poisonous tea, according to the report.
Five years ago, the Centers for Disease Control reported that more than 230 people had died in one year from psychotropic drugs of all types in Florida, including Angel's Trumpet.

... and yet they make cannabis illegal because it is "too dangerous" and datura remains 100% legal because... well, I can only assume beacuse it is safe...
