Please disregard this post if you are not planning on actually ingesting the drug.
While having little to do with the actual question you've asked, I feel it's necessary to point out that belladonna is a dangerous, highly toxic deleriant. My own experience with it many years ago was awful, and I can't recall ever having read a trip report that cast it in a positive light.
I strongly urge you to read up on what people have said about it here in the forums, as well as on erowid. If you choose to go through with it anyway, you should be able to find dosing information through erowid.
Good luck, and be safe.

I agree with JC. If you want a ride to the hospital in the back of an ambulance: that's where it took me. Their assumption was I tried to commit suicide. Not a pleasant sensation.

Dont go munching that stuff. Tropane Alkaloids are not something you want to play around with.
Belladonna has been used in the past as a deadly poison, even if you don't die chances are you won't enjoy it.
They call it deadly nightshade for a reason, it takes a very small amout to be lethal.
Keep safe man !!

the appropriate dose is 0 (Zero)! Don't take any of this awful drug. If you decide to anyway, let us know about your disasterous trip after you're released from the hospital and/or jail. Maybe other will learn from your experience.

i've spent hours researching this delerient and posted this post for dosage tips because erowid has little to nothing other than experiences of people dosing to much and getting hurt by it... if anybody has ever taken this plant and had a positive experience or any experience at all please tell me your dose.

there is a very good reason that you cant find any positive experience reports.........
please dont mess with this plant. whats so appealing about a deleriant?
very low doses will get you very very dry mouth....a little woozy.
then higher doses will get delirous.
there is NO middle on that road.

i have no experience with this solanaceous plant. but i have had posotive experiences with datura, more than one species. i find that with powerful alkaloids like this, they tend to be uncomfortable most of the time, and thus, the dosage, if you must, is very very minute. i found that smoking a datura flower alone was a nice, albeit slightly uncomfortable (dry mouth!)also, smoking a small amount of leaf with cannabis was an enjoyable experience. i would not suggest ingesting the plant, as dosages are very hard to regulate, smoking however, the effects kick in about 5 minutes, and it becomes quite uncomfortable if you smoke too much, the insights of this ally are shrouded by larger doses, as memory is haltered. however, this was all just datura, and from what i know, nightshade is much more dangerous and more potent. dont let your curiosity get the best of you, tropane alkaloids are a start insanely low, work your way up, kindof plant, in my experience. although, overall, tropanes are too uncomfortable for continued experimentation.

Belladonna was used historically in some pagan rites, and though I have copies of many a book with information on its preparation and usage, which I might add was a very tiny amount not even fully consumed but placed under the tongue, as well as behind the earlobes on the wrists, and tops of your feet and in some sects on the eyelids to allow you to see the realm of death, I have yet to have a desire to see Lady Bellas world. She is an ally, in an "enemy of my enemy" kind of way. You see she is the enemy of closed mindedness as she is delirium incarnate, as we also oppose closed mindedness she is our ally, but one we must never cleave to for she is as likely to deem our thoughts too sane and rip them asunder as she is to enlighten us.

the dosage is very very minute (..) smoking a datura flower
It is your understanding of what you're dealing with that's very, very minute.
A "datura flower" is a truckload of tropanes, which depends on the kind of datura, the time of picking and the wet and dry weight of the flower, to name some variables.
Hyoscyamine, atropine, scopolamine, atroscine, apohyoscyamine, apoatropine, aposcopolamine, apoatroscine, meteloidine, optical isomers, racemization, ester hydrolysis, transestrification, hydration of the epoxyde, parasympatholytic, acetylcholine, vagus nerve.. Have we done our homework?
I bet you have endangered yourself beyond your knowledge, considering you speak of "halting of memory".
Can it be done? Yes, but not safely, and its best not done by someone who considers an entire flower a very, very minute dose.
I'm sorry to suck, but people die this way.
To the threadstarter: your individual dose would depend on your body, sex, age, weight and a lot of variables within the plant, as well of how much meditative effort you are willing to invest, how high a risk you are willing to take and what you want to get out of it.
To say something ballpark, which by no means is positive dosage advice: At one gram of Atropa belladonna (3-8mg hyoscyamine if dried properly) it is not uncommon for people to DIE, go psychotic and end up institutionalized for years or sustain brain damage, so your dosage would have to be a whole lot lower than one single gram.
People who recommend doses in the order of spoonfulls should be kicked offline, and by that I mean they should be physically kicked when they are offline. Spoons kill.
Belladonna can only be used in an indirect manner, where a truly minute dose is taken and powerful meditation enhances the effects multifold. THAT is how the witches did it, it was the inquisition who took to poisoning people.

As I stated in my post, a miniscule amount under the tongue described in Wiccan texts as the size of a pea or a large pinhead. It was not swallowed but allowed to absorb through the skin, similar sized dobs of paste made from the plant were placed in the aforementioned areas, and as Wiccan_Seeker said meditation was used to delve into the world of Lady Bella.
She is an ally but one you must be oh so very wary of. One day when I am ready she and I shall meet, but I would never ever take it on someone's word that I should eat a full flower or a teaspoons worth. That's plain idiocy.

I have used Datura inoxia and henbane and never had a full on delerium. What I did was aquired enough material at the same time which was around the same potency, started really really small and worked my way up SLOWLY. I never had an experience which I would label "psychedelic" but it was worthwhile. I'm not rying to encourage anyone to go through with experimenting with these plants. I am just saying that if I were him, I'd almost experiment with it in spite of the prevailing attitudes here. I am not at all saying that it is safe. At the time, risking death for an otherworldly experience had a certain appeal to me. I honestly was afraid of going all the way for good reason. The two most memorable experiences that I had with it were as follows: I Datura and alcohol; I woke up one morning after having negligable effects from the combo. I was lying on the downstairs couch. I reached over to grab the remote but the floor didn't feel quite right. This suprised me enough to ACTUALLY open my eyes. Then I saw that I was in fact, up stairs in my room. I realized what was up and then enjoyed playing with my amazing visualization abilities. The second was MG seeds and Datura. With datura the only way that I have been able to tell that it is coming on, is this very distinctive dry taste/feeling in my mouth/throat. Anyways I took enough for that effect and then dosed the mg seeds on top of it probably 350-400 washed store "bought" heavenly blues. It resulted in visuals almost comperable to a 3,000 microgram LSD experience that I had once. The only thing is this stuff makes you feel dumb as a box-of-rocks. So it wasn't at all mind expanding in my opinion. Anyways there is no "safe" dosage guidlines. However the most "responsible" way to do it is to have a consistant batch. This doesn't mean the same plant, as alkaloid concentration will vary. Even seed pod to seed pod the content can vary. Anyways never ever redose beacuse that could very well be the last thing you ever do. You might not be able to tell that its kicked in, how far along it is, or if you are already far enough along, how much more you are actually taking. Also keep in mind that there is a German fellow who is documented as having cut his dick off while under the influnce of tropaines. I'm not at all saying that you should experiment with this stuff. I just wanted to give you a little different response than "you're a fucking idiot for thinking about it. Please don't kill yourself -peace

i just finished watching "high hitler" on the history channel. apparently every morning he took an anti-flatulant for his gas that consisted of strichnine and 50mg of nightshade. eventually it ended up becoming toxic and worsening his already failing health. so even in small doses nightshade cant be good for you. i dont even see how it would get rid of gas
