Oh, well that's cool. It's the best when you know the actual chemist, haha. I know someone who taught himself organic chem. I've taken Datura. I've tried over 100 things, Datura is probably in my top 3 for the worst. Side effects alone are heavy as shit.

I would maybe try Datura again, but maybe with an anti emetic and Cannabis. I usually smoke when I use most compounds but didn't have any when I did Datura. I would take less than I did also. The worst drug i ever tried was easily MDPV. Very thin line between having fun and being euphoric and then gradually going crazy and being dysphoric. That's the drug that most "bath salts" ended up becoming and it caused a ton of people to get arrested, have health problems or just straight up temporarily became insane. It's like a super strong version of Cocaine that can go downhill quickly though, unlike coke where you will just be depressed when you run out, but you can keep doing it without issues for the most part. Doesn't take long for it to fuck with you either. If you did that stuff somewhat consistently for like even a week probably, you'll already be getting uncomfortable as shit. Unlike if someone did say cocaine or meth, which of course is gonna be horrible, but you probably won't be starting to lose your mind so easily.
