I don't know what to say about the alleged dangerousness of this drug. The government doesn't have a very good record of honesty in regards to recreational chemicals. If the stuff is as potent as they claim, it won't catch on except in very limited quarters, and even in that case, is probably more an example of evolution in action than anything else.

The only safe way to consume this or it's relatives like Belladonna is in a highly diluted ointment form, which is how "witches" used it in Europe a few hundred years ago. Algonquin ate it's seeds as part of their coming of age ceremony as well, if I recall. Brugmansia flowers are used ritually by Peruvian shaman types, as well. This is definately a poisonous plant, not one to trifle with.

Interesting. After reading some of the posts here, I'd say it sounds like a pretty powerful drug. Three day trips would be a bit on the excessive side imo. Not something I'd have messed with even in my wild and crazy days as that would be way too much time to set aside for a trip. It sounds like dosages would be pretty hard to guage too. The earlier comment about not eating something that a pig won't touch is a darn good rule of thumb. :-)
