Good read. Very informative.
While i do believe datura and respective company may be of some use to a spiritual user of intoxicants, 90% of these users do not have the know-how or experience to handle these powerful deleriants.
On that note, i consider myself a very experienced user of our plant friends, but would never even consider ingesting any solanaceous. Just too many variables involved...plus a very powerful substance. Not a good combo

Thanks for the post

Good read, I especially found it what it said about benzos to be interesting. 
I consider myself a seasoned psychonaut, but have no plans to ever ingest any datura or brugmansia. I do think they're beautiful plants though; I had one that I got rid of last year because my kitten kept trying to eat it.

I had no idea that cocaine was a tropaine... I have one Datura in my garden, but it is just for the pretty flowers. Metel's flowers smell like a cross between honeysuckle and jasmine. You know the Chinese hybrid of eggplant looks alot like D. metel, very eligant. Its flowers are also very pretty. They are small, dark-pink, and star-shaped.

I am one of those fooled by Mr. Castaneda. Well beyond adolescence, a thirty-something parent, I walked by a beautiful specimen of brugmansia many a time until one day I brewed some flowers and leaves in warm milk. [asthma relief and a little fun] As the scenario unfolded my wife nearly divorced me after the embarrassing ride to the hospital in the ambulance. Decades later, in a town hundreds of miles away, every time I visit my mother, the entrance to her gated community has a decorative border of brugmansia: the family grins and asks me if I want to get out and graze for awhile.
