From Wikipedia on Jimson Weed aka Datura:Datura stramonium, known by the common names jimson weed, ditch weed, stink weed, loco weed, Korean morning glory, Jamestown weed, thorn apple, angel's trumpet, devil's trumpet, devil's snare, devil's seed, mad hatter, crazy tea, malpitte, and, along with datura metel, zombie cucumber is a common weed in the Nightshade Family. It contains tropane alkaloids that are sometimes used as a hallucinogen. The active ingredients are atropine, hyoscyamine and scopolamine which are classified as deliriants, or anticholinergics. Due to the elevated risk of overdose in uninformed users, many hospitalizations, and some deaths, are reported from recreational use, though this is not always the case.Datura stramonium is an erect annual herb, on average 30 to 150 cm (1-5 feet) tall with erect, forking and purple stems. The leaves are large, 7 to 20 cm (3-8 in) long and have irregular teeth similar to those of oak leaves. The flowers are one of the most distinctive characteristics of Datura stramonium: they are trumpet-shaped, white to purple, and 2-7 in. (5-12.5 cm) long. The flowers, with the same fragrance as Mirabilis jalapa, open and close at irregular intervals during the evening, earning the plant the nickname moonflower. The fruit are walnut-sized, egg-shaped, and covered in prickles, they split into four chambers, each chamber with dozens of small black seeds. All parts of the plant emit a foul odor when crushed or bruised.There is a mnemonic device for the physiological effects of datura/atropine intoxication: "blind as a bat, mad as a hatter, red as a beet, hot as hell, dry as a bone, the bowel and bladder lose their tone, and the heart runs alone." Another rhyme describing its effects is, "Can't see, can't spit, can't pee, can't shit." Regarding Datura, among the Navajo is the folk admonition, 'Eat a little, and go to sleep. Eat some more, and have a dream. Eat some more, and don't wake up.' The actual effects are reported to be: cycloplegia and mydriasis (extreme dilation of the pupil), flushed, warm and dry skin, dry mouth, urinary retention and ileus (slowing or stopping of intestinal movement), rapid heart beat, hypertension or hypotension, and choreoathetosis/jerky movements. In case of overdose the effects are hyperthermia, coma, respiratory arrest, and seizures. The vast majority of atropine-poisoning cases are accompanied by delirium with visual and auditory hallucinations.The effects of Datura have been described as a living dream: consciousness falls in and out, people who don't exist or are miles away are conversed with, etc. The effects can last for days. Tropane alkaloids are some of the few substances which cause true hallucinations which cannot be distinguished from reality. It may be described as a "real" trance when a user under the effect can be awake but completely disconnected from his immediate environment. In this case, the user would ignore most stimuli and respond to unreal ones. This is unlike psilocybin or LSD, which only cause sensory distortions.It has a very low therapeutic index which makes overdosing on Datura stramonium very easy. This can be fatal; it can cause fevers in the 105-110 (40-43°C) range which is a range that can kill brain cells, and lead to brain damage. There have been many instances of teenagers looking for a cheap high poisoning themselves to death on datura. If someone overdoses on datura it is advised to induce vomiting, to wash out his or her stomach, and to get the person hospitalized immediately.If taken recreationally and the user does not notice any conscious effects, many people redose thinking it's not working, which is why overdoses are common. The user doesn't realize that he or she was hallucinating. Some users have reported seeing an array of people from their lives. A few anecdotal reports also mention the user's perception of "phantom cigarettes"; the person believes that he or she is smoking a cigarette only to find that it has disappeared later, thus realizing that it never existed. This is one of the most common side hallucinations reported with Datura, (Erowid.org) among smokers and ex-smokers, even people who have never smoked. There have been reports of the user interacting with other unreal objects also, such as looking down and seeing a cigarette lighter in one's hand then dropping it, and after a minute or two of searching, the user often realizes that this lighter or any other unreal object never existed. Returning to "reality" from datura-induced hallucinations is often coupled with momentary disorientation. At the peak of such experiences users often enter a true psychotomimetic state, in which they "lose touch with reality" altogether; at this point, many find it difficult or impossible to communicate with others.A majority of users who have written reports on experiences with datura have described those experiences as unpleasant and sometimes terrifying. This is possibly due to their having taken excessive doses. The powerful effects of Datura continue until the body metabolizes the tropane alkaloids.Scopolamine is the primary hallucinogen in Datura wrightii from California and other Daturas. Scopolamine can be slowly and erratically absorbed into the brain. In most people, scopolamine reaches the brain within an hour or so after ingestion and causes visual and auditory hallucinations. In about 25% of people, scopolamine is very slowly absorbed into the brain, taking up to 13 hours to enter the brain. These are the people who are at the highest risk of overdosing. They become impatient waiting for the recreational high and take more of the plant extract.From what I read here, he may have been in a poker tournament that didn't exist except in his own mind. Would love to see some video on this. But if it really happened then he's very lucky not to be dead.

Eating your chips is definitely -ev.I've pissed away chips many times, but have never eaten them and shat them away.Just wondering, what type dressing did you use? I would recommend Italian... the oil would help ease them down.A new definition of "all in" -- after announcing it, you must then take a crap on the table.thats all I've got.... for now.
He said Ranch dressing, fool. Pay attention.

Sounds like a BS story. There would have to be a video, blog, or story somewhere on the internet if this really went down. Think about all the people there just to cover poker stories, and no one covered this? BSOn a related note, stay away from Salvia divinorum. It's a legal "herb" and will mess you up. I'm not admitting to doing it, but let's just say I have seen god. I know about 6-8 other people who did this stuff and it scared the chit out of each and every one of them. Stay away from salvia.

Lies...I can't even get words out on salvia...just a mixed crying/laughing/groaning sound that is distorted by my mouth unable to twist out of a smile. But somehow I can't figure out why my friends watching me can't grasp that my hand signals are trying to explain that the whole world around me has turned diagonally.

If you think salvia is fun you must've smoked the leaves and not the concentrated extract. The extract will put you on ur ass and make you droll all over urself. So, go get some of the extract and take a few monster bong hits or until ur world flips upside down, and then come back and post ur opinion. I promise if you had a phone conversation then you did not get the full affect. That stuff is the devil!waterboy3.jpg

I hate to admit this, but during one of my first in person sessions a year ago, I had a panic attack and literally passed out at the table.
Did you win the pot?

Hi hun,' My name is really stacie lol But you have a panic dissorder. I am the leading expert on the subject! I was homebound completely unless in the er for 7 years... I am now able to go anywhere and even go to play cards all the time. The great thing is it is really easy to treat now days there are alot of 'experienced" docs with info on it now who can give you the real meds and therapy needed to get through it. Also valuim doesnt help it it actually makes it worse in 70 percent of the people who use it, mixing it with the drinks just numbed you. Go see a doctor and ask to be tested for thyroid and hormone levels... if anything is found they will help you get it all back to normal... in the mean time.... no more pills that arent from the pharmacy! If you need any more info or advise drop me a line I'd be glad to talk...XOXOWe all make mistakes it when we turn them into lessons that we excell!
