The Danger: Delirium vs. Psychedelics
Unlike classical psychedelics (such as psilocybin or peyote), Datura is classified as a deliriant. It does not merely alter perception; it completely severs the user’s connection to reality, causing absolute delirium, true hallucinations (where the user cannot distinguish what is real), severe amnesia, and violent physical stress. Traditional shamans underwent decades of training because the therapeutic or spiritual dose of Datura is indistinguishable from a fatal dose—alkaloid levels vary wildly up to tenfold from plant to plant.
