So normally I never get sick, never got the vaccine, never got sick during the pandemic, etc, but for the first time in many years I can actually say yesterday I must've caught something and got sick.
Got terrible sleep the night before since I had a really bad stomach ache (took a shit ton of CBD to be able to sleep, and get rid of the pain). Woke up yesterday with a bit of a sore throat, cough, and headache. It slowly moved to a fever of 101.3 by mid-day. My voice was all messed up, overall felt like complete crap.
Once I noticed I had a fever, I knew something was up, so took about 12-16mg of Ivermectin. Took 1800mg of NAC spaced throughout the day, a small bit of homemade fire cider, and 2000mg of Vitamin C in the evening. And then right before bed, smoked about 1/4 of a Datura flower, and used a small amount of Datura ointment as it's an effective herbal sedative and antispasmodic (I'm not recommending anyone use this plant without proper knowledge of how it works, it is highly poisonous and will literally kill you if you don't know what you're doing).
Woke up this morning feeling just as good as I ever have, absolutely zero signs of sickness whatsoever.
Yeah, Datura is definitely interesting. I'm somewhat hesitant about mentioning it to people because I would absolutely hate to see someone hurt by it, and I'm not kidding when I say it can be incredibly dangerous. People have definitely died using it, and others have reported hellish experiences where you lose complete touch with reality and see/talk to things that aren't there. And it can last multiple days too.
I absolutely NEVER eat it, that's the most dangerous way of using it, and it's hard to gauge potency because one plant can't be 5x as potent as another, and sometimes even parts of the same plant can vary by a lot. Smoked is safer, and it's commonly thought that you can't go completely delirious by just smoking it. Salves/ointments are safest as the most dangerous alkaloids can't pass through the skin, while the useful ones can.
So I smoked a very small amount, maybe 1/8 of one flower/0.1g, and put a small quantity of ointment (maybe pea sized) on the tops of my feet. Note that ointment strength can vary in potency depending on how much plant material goes into it.
One of the reasons I'd be having a hard time sleeping was because of the coughing, and when this took effect I no longer had any issues with that. Didn't feel like coughing whatsoever. Had an easy time falling asleep, and while I was drifting off, I started "dreaming" before I was even fully asleep. I don't really remember much of it, but the dreams were extra vivid and had this otherworldly quality, and honestly it was really enjoyable.
When I woke up I felt 100% normal, besides feeling slightly dehydrated (went away after drinking some water), and my eyesight was slightly blurry (side effect of Datura, went away within an hour or two).
So all in all, I love it. I still wouldn't tell people to go and use it, cause hey it's super dangerous and basically it's a poisonous plant, but there definitely is a reason it was used medically in the past.
