Deadly hallucinogenic weed sends 15 teens to hospital [CAN]

Deadly hallucinogenic weed sends 15 teens to hospital
October 24, 2007 - cbc.ca

Police and public health officials in Cornwall, Ont., are warning the public about a local hallucinogenic plant that has sent 15 teens to hospital in the past two weeks.

Jimsonweed, a plant that grows in much of southern Canada, contains seeds and leaves that cause hallucinations when ingested.

But that's not the only effect, Cornwall police spokesman Blake Paquin said Wednesday.

"This high can kill you," he said.

The poison that causes the plant's hallucinogenic punch attacks the central nervous system.

Dr. Margaret Thomson of the Ontario Poison Control Centre said eating the plant can cause high blood pressure, heart rate and temperature, dry mouth, urine retention, and seizures that can progress to a coma.

Several of the teens sent to hospital in recent weeks ended up in the intensive care unit, Paquin said.

Deaths from ingesting jimsonweed have been reported in Canada and the U.S.

Police are visiting local schools with seeds from the plant and warning students about the possible effects, and are asking parents to talk to teens about the weed as well.

Guys guys, I agree it'll probably peak some kids' interests, but I still think it's better that they know the risks before hearing from a friend that they could trip on a plant and going and eating a fatal amount.

i agree with you, i didn't realize this was in Canada. i just remember shitty drug "safety" programs like DARE in the US when i was growing up. i bet its a different story up there.

i dont mind them knowing the amount, or substance, as long as they are not LIED to as with another weed, POT.

JIMSON WEED is a verry powerfull plant, but is it worth glorifying, maby publisising and warn of effects. But to those who tried pot and thought nothing, is this another alternitive? Let it not be.

In all that i ramble, as I may be inebrated, The plants and chems taht are known NOW that may be harmfull can be regulated, but NOT CONFINED.

Knowlege is key, the folks and those around the subject are those in question, i dont belive that one can make a judgement otherwise.

Suroundings create the subject, change them, cange the person.

it may be black and wite, but show me a picture that dosent attmt thae same outcome. we all want it like this.


PS im friking drunk out of reason, but ill defend.

The DARE program is what got me intrigued in mind altering substances. The officer would show up with this suitcase of strange objects. Bottles, vials, syringes, baggies of powder, dried herbs, pills..etc.
I remember a specific story about comic books and stickers laced with acid. And how dealers would ask kids to deliver them and all of a sudden from the contact with these things, kids would be over-dosing on acid. I thought, hmm, cool! where can I find one of these dealers?

I was a curious, precocious youngster, knowing I had to stay away from those things merely because I respected my parents and didn't want to disobey them. But these bits of magic potion in the case were so enticing I couldn't resist. The collection was like an altar to mind altering substances.
I didn't do any drugs until several years later, but that curiosity and intrigue has stuck with me up until today. Thanks DARE!

Hmmm, Datura Stramonium. Crush the seeds and let sit in oil for a month. Then strip, rub oil on body and enjoy. Real good fun.

The stuff grows everwhere here and everybody knows its hallucinogenic properties (even the stories about it being used by witches) but noone would ever dream of eating the stuff because it is also common knowledge how toxic and dangerous eating the leaves and seeds is.

That, as some of you have already said, is the power of knowledge. I'm sure that if one of the 15 kids had known how toxic the stuff was he would have told his friends that they were being stupid and shouldn't take it.

When, years down the line we decided to try the stuff we researched thoroughly and decided on safer ways to take it.

As long as people know the risks they will avoid something or at least try and reduce the risks to a minimum.
