Datura has to be one of the scariest ones out there. You could experience a relatively normal trip with things disappearing and appearing or it could literally end up in a bloody mess.

I smoked salvia my senior year of high school and had a great, albeit short, trip at a New Years Party. However, my buddy tried it after me, and flipped his wig, thinking that if our friend (who looked Charles Manson) bit him, that he would turn into a copy of him! Of course, we couldn't understand him while he was high, but after he came back, that's how he described it. Haven't messed with it since. I would just tell people that it's a coin flip whether you're gonna giggle in a cartoony 8th Dimension, or you're gonna see the devil coming after you with all of your dead relatives at his command.

I have a rare trait where I have what is called a paradoxal reaction to benzodiazepines, a common form of anesthesia. I'm chronically ill and have had a lot of surgeries, all of which I woke up screaming and crying like I was being murdered, ripping out IVs and breathing tubes, sometimes even getting violent with the nurses and my family members. Like a scared feral animal. Would take me hours to calm down. Took 15 years for them to finally stop using benzos on me, I've been easy waking up since. Nothing compares to the completely blind terror that I'd feel, and to being in completely zero control of my actions in such a way. I still remember accusing my mother, who I love like she's my whole world, of beating me (which she'd never done)-aware of what I was saying, but unable to stop myself. The look in her eyes still haunts me.

I have a paradoxal reaction to benadryl which is similar. Instead of making me sleep, it makes me extremely hyper. To the point that I eventually fall asleep, but only from passing out due to sheer exhaustion and overexertion from being so incredibly manic and energetic. I'm not sure how my mom handled me the first time it happened, but I haven't taken it since I was like five and I hope I never have to again.

[@whyplaypiano2844]

@@oll-_-llo Uhh, that sounds a lot like an isomer of Diphenhydramine(Benadryl). Interestingly, most medications have to be made a VERY specific way, down to the molecular structure of every single molecule in the medication. In the case of Diphenhydramine...which is C17H22NO (17 Carbons, 22 Hydrogens, and one of both Nitrogen and Oxygen), it's isomer reacts differently with your cells than regular Diphenhydramine. They have the same name, same chemical formula, but the molecule structure is *sliiiightly* different. This difference in form(i.e. Isomer) causes people to become incredibly hyper...it's similar to the body on bath salts. (Although, it's just as possible that your body just reacts in a funky way.)

Spice. Tried it once when I was 16 cause I couldn’t afford pot at the time. The “high” feels like you just started taking sips out of random chemical bottles you found under the sink. Not only does it feel like all of your organs are very slowly shutting down, but a cold static lonely void fills the space around you. This is the moment you realize you came into this world alone, And you will die alone. Nobody surrounding you can console or help you. It’s all just noise now. The words don’t mean anything. You wish your heart would just explode because it hurts so much and you never thought it could beat so fast. This experience rattled me so hard I went from a pot head drinker in Highschool wanting to try a bunch of different shit to completely straight edge with no desire to get high on anything ever again. It’s even given me fear towards anti anxiety meds, sleeping medications and caffeine. Because they do things to my body that I can’t control and I get flashbacks to that night feeling completely helpless and at the mercy of whatever the fuck was literally trying to kill me.

[@jahjah7940]

Hey there, I’m a guy who is on zoloft perscription since 2017. It’s quite difficult to describe how I feel most times. I can however, tell you changes that I have noticed. As of 2017 I am struggling with crippling depression. As stated correctly, zoloft being the drug perscribed to help with such states nullifies and numbs emotion. I’ve been feeling.. okay? It’s hard to say. True enough that I have not had suicidal thoughts in a while, but everything seems like I’m not experiencing the emotion at it’s fullest. Happiness and sadness are still prominent, though very much diminished. My pupils are always a little dilated and sometimes I think I’m simply living my life on autopilot. However, it has undeniably helped me. It really is a matter of dosage, my life is raletively normal and I don’t feel like blowing my brains out. Emotion is still there, not dead just nullified. It’s managable. Of course, it WILL have incredibly bad side effects on a person who is not experiencing symptoms of depression.

I tried to sit on my couch and watch a movie but the sound was freaking me out and so I called my sister to come pick me up so someone would be with me if anything went wrong. By the time she got to my place I was delirious. I had an idea what was going on in reality but in my head everything was distorted. I had a massive urge to run to my neighbors house and ask for help, as if that would hell at all, and I just took my shirt off and rolled in the grass feeling like I was gonna die. I used to smoke weed and drink all the time, keeping myself up during the day with caffeine, but after that trip, they all felt different. Everything gave me anxiety. Even loud music or TV shows would make me anxious. After about a month I felt fine. TL;DR Had an awful mushroom trip and it changed something in my brain for a while

Depending on your size/weight 5g could be considered a "heroic" dose. Even for someone who's big and tall 5g is gonna be a hell of a trip. If you're ever gonna do it again try no more than 1g to 1.5g per 100lbs, it'll be much more manageable (introspection & crystalization, no distortion, less anxiety, less stomach ache).

It was just intensely uncomfortable and disorienting but I was always able to get out of that headspace just by going outside and listening to some relaxing music.

How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures.

As someone who’s had nighterrors for most of my life I can’t understand why people would choose to take drugs that give them horrible hallucinations and call the experience “fun”/“funny”.

simply put, that’s your experience. not all people experience hallucinations the same and not all hallucinatory experiences are disturbing. there are drugs like datura which are infamous for their negative and ego bending hallucinations, and then there are magic mushrooms which cause graphical hallucinations and generally pleasant and awe inducing delusions. people who take datura are just risk takers, i assume, who have a “try everything” mindset, but otherwise people want to experience hallucinations because in many people’s opinions, they are fun. hell, it’s even nuanced when it comes to waking dreams - i have chronic sleep paralysis and nightmares, and i find most of my episodes and dreams very entertaining, even when they are a tad spooky or gross. people have different tastes and desires.

It’s a body response because your body isn’t relaxed enough to go and it needs that ‘reassurance’ to do it. Just my 2 cents. If you do try it again just wait a minute while leaning and you’ll go within that time.

Psych major here planning to specialize in clincal/neuroscience drug research in graduate school. These stories are incredibly accurate to the drugs they mentioned. Normally, people telling drug stories have exaggerations on how bad some of them are, but these are surprisingly mostly accurate. Obviously some drugs (e.g. THC, LSD, Psilocybin, etc.) are stigmatized as being way more dangerous than they actually are, but there are still a lot of drugs like Heroin, Fentanyl, Datura, Spice etc. that you should still try your best to stay away from at all costs. The plethora of risks outweigh the benefits of these dangerous substances.

[@Pantherrz]

what about dmt? it’s the only drug i’ve ever been really interested in, is it as bad as those u mentioned?

[@MysticMelody124]

@@Pantherrz DMT is incredibly strong, so I would advise not taking it until you are well experienced with psychedelics, but no it isn't anywhere near as dangerous as the ones I listed. Like LSD and Psilocybin, DMT has little to no physical dangers and no one has supposedly overdosed from it yet. However, that doesn't mean you should just hit it as many times as possible. It's still a psychedelic meaning it can be psychologically dangerous. Again, it's also incredibly strong. The hallucinations are so intense that whether your eyes are open or closed, you're seeing the exact same things. Overall, it's a relatively safe drug compared to most, but consider it like the "final boss" of "safer" drugs, where you need to work your way up to it first.

[@QueenofTNT]

Had an experience like this with my old antidepressant (Fluoxetine). I had to be on a high dose for about a year, and while it worked well enough at first I gradually just stopped feeling positive emotions. When the emotions would break through the haze it was like something had broken through a metallic wall and hit me at Mach 10, and 90% of the time it was negative emotions. I finally had to taper off it over the course of 6 months and ended up switching to Paxil (along getting a proper stimulant to offset my adhd), which is thankfully much better. The metal emotional wall that was there when I was on Fluoxetine has become something more like a wall of fog. It’s moving and swirling, and occasionally happy emotions appear to me too. I can walk in there and find things, both positive and negative, it’s just hard to see what’s coming. I hope you find your emotions again; getting through that barrier is hard but switching to a different medication might help, even if only a little.

Sad to hear that. But it's really an effect of many of the antidepressant/antipsychotic type of medicine - it allows your body to have a rest from panic/anxiety/crying itself to sleep. Keep in touch with your doctor and let them know of your progress or whatever, this is only a temporary solution because a person shouldn't be living in such a state for long. BTW emotionally colorblind is a brilliant way to phrase it, I was searching for the right words forever.

Yes, apathy can definitely be a byproduct of high functioning depression. In college I hit a point where everything had been so bad for so long that I just stopped feeling. No more crying myself to sleep or hating myself, but also no happiness at seeing a friend or getting a nice surprise. I didn't enjoy the feeling and it "felt" bad, but it was better than actually feeling my feels. In my case though, the apathy was a precursor to a bad mental breakdown. One day too many things went wrong all at once and the emotional floodgate broke open. Less than two weeks later I dropped out of college and moved 3 hours away to be with my family because I knew that if I didn't do something, I wasn't going to make it. So if you are feeling nothing, talk to your doctor, talk to your family and friends, and have a plan in place for if/when things get bad. Stay safe, friend!

But that wasn't the worse part. I didn't have any effect and besides the appetite loss I wouldn't have realized I was on it until it wore off just in time for bed and I would CRASH and have the worst anxiety attacks every single night over the dumbest stuff.

First day I felt a little strange, second day it was a nightmare. It was eerie, stifling and uncomfortable. It sent me into this weird feeling of helplessness and grief over losing myself without those negative feelings ever fully making it to the surface. I hated that numb feeling and my personality was gone I went back to my doctor and told her what happened and that I stopped taking it. She kept telling me "That isn't possible, SSRIs have to build up in your system. Are you sure you're not taking anything else?" I wasn't. And there is no placebo effect strong enough to do that to my mind after 2 doses.

I was given lsd without knowledge it took me 6 months to get my brain back to normal it was like I was in a dream yet at the same time I knew I was still tripping Also tried salviour and actually really liked the trip was in a film real and Grand Canyon but didn’t last long

Getting drugged without knowledge is so fucking awful!!!!! The first time I had weed was when my friend offered me some normal looking nerd clusters and I ate at least 7, not knowing they were zaza and was high as shit for a good 4 hours

how did you get back to normal? I had drug induced psychosis a few weeks ago and and nothing feels back to normal

Welbutrin (Bupropion or smth). I had it for depression and while it did make me very happy, I also had terrible tremors. I had terrible audible and visual hallucinations that were literally just eldritch horror (maybe cause I like spooky stuff). It was not fun to experience irl. I also was allergic and got hives from it.

Did a course of welbutrin to try and quit smoking. Passed out during movement from a range back to base camp in Kuwait. Never touched it again.

[@Z_E_B_O]

10:50 definately not. You just have to know how and where to take it. Put on your favourite music, darken the room, put a little bit of the salvia extract in your bong, take a hit, leave it in for a bit, lay down, breath out and enjoy the trip. Yes, you will still get transported into the salvia dimension where you basically close your eyes and walk around in your own thoughts. It only lasts 5-10 minutes tho and after that you're completely normal again. The only reason why people would describe Salvia as the scariest drug ever is that they either didn't know it was Salvia when they smoked it or they didnt do their research on the drug before taking it. Salvia is only really scary when you're taking it with your eyes open and reality turns into whatever your mind makes of it. But still, Salvia should definately not be illegal, it's basically a short dmt trip for very cheap. Btw, you wont trip that hard if you don't take the extract, and if you take the normal leaves, it will just feel odd. I always described the feeling as "someone pushing you forward when you walk, or you're not walking but you're bending reality around you to walk". This is just a body feeling tho and you will only be able to go on a trip with the extract. You can chew the leaves for about 30-60 minutes tho, like the indiginous people. This will make you feel stoned, lights will seem brighter and you might see some visuals. Every other drug in this video is far scarier, Datura is literally poisonous as well, like all other delirant nightshade plants. People have reported they tripped on datura for 48 hours straight. So go do your research on any drug you are planning to take and stay faaar away from amphetamines and opioids!

[@Seleneium7]

I agree but worry I might end up like a certain curious cat.

[@randominternetfella96]

I'm someone who has done pretty much all of them. What I would say is, if you're curious, go for it! For me, psychedelics have been such an amazing learning journey that have really opened up my eyes to new perspectives. But that is what they are. Teachers, to be respected and never abused. I highly recommend you do your own extensive research, but basically, any newbie needs to familiarise themselves with harm reduction measures. Start in small doses, know exactly what it is you're taking, research that substance, and always have a trip-sitter. You also need to be in the right state of mind and have a clear objective that you wanna achieve by taking a psychedelic journey. All a psychedelic does is magnify how you already feel. If you feel good and you pop some shrooms, you're probably gonna feel great. If you're kinda down or some shit's been going on in your life and you pop some shrooms, it's gonna be a nightmare - take it from me. But whatever it is you do, do not eat those goddamned flowers. Datura isn't a drug - it is a poison. It will fuck you up and can quite easily kill you in even small doses. Every trip report I have ever read on it describes it as a waking nightmare. Trust me. Don't do that shit.

[@CrusaderGabriel]

@@randominternetfella96 thank you for the heads up! Definitely the best comment I’ve read on the matter. Basically I have 2 main reasons why I wanna try them, but can extend to many more: 1. Inspiration to write stories (I’m a hobbyist game developer) 2. Experiencing something new (this is the one that could be extended to many more). Similar to the Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr. near the end when he hits a dead-end he remembers the villain telling him something among the lines of expanding his horizons, so he does the ritual the villains used to do including consuming substances they used and afterwards he had a huge revelation; I’m the type of person to try things out and reach my own conclusions (but also I’m fortunate enough to be the type of guy that can quit things at will which very few can)

[@yuyukawa9104]

Be careful about grouping all hallucinogens together. Psychedelics are generally safe physically, they're non addictive and they can give you a good or bad trip depending on your predisposition. Dissociatives are generally safe physically but can have bad side effects, especially with chronic use. They can be addictive. Also you can have a good or bad trip. Deliriants are not safe physically. They are almost guaranteed a bad trip. They're rarely addictive but they can be.

I did dmt for the first time while peaking on lsd. for those that don't know, dmt is an extremely potent short acting psychedelic, like salvia but less horrible. when i took the first hit, the room started to shake. i took the second hit, i was seeing orbs appearing in front of my eyes and a bunch of voices were talking over each other in my head. i took the third hit and closed my eyes, and the second i closed my eyes i forgot who i was, what was happening, all my memories, everything. Then i saw a light appear in front of me and then the most intense terrifying experience of my life followed. I ended up screaming for help and an ambulance, ended up screaming backwards, my gf told me it sounded like someone recorded my voice and reversed it or something, and ended up crying on the bathroom floor. DMT and LSD at the same time probably wasn't the best idea

[@99hank97]

I did Salvia with 3 of my friends, one of which was our dealer we knew from highschool who had tried it before. He loaded up a bowl in the bong, told us to hold it as long as we can. My best friend tried it first and I still have the video. He was all euphoric and giggly going “WOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHH” over and over. After he said he felt like he was a spring being super extended and than retracted back a bunch of times. Then my other friend tried it next. His description of the experience was far less intelligible and spent most of the time giggling, then laughing. Shifting between an emphatic joyful laugh to a maniacal one. Then I tried it and felt absolutely nothing. Maybe a little lightheaded but no trip. Just did not hit me.

[@99hank97]

It’s kind of funny that the scarier the story the luckier the participant save for any including bodily harm.

[@mystia_crob]

to the person who felt no emotions on antidepressants, that happened to me too. however, it happened cuz the dose was too high... i cant imagine INCREASING it after that side effect. My best guess, giving the psychiatrist the benefit of the doubt, OP said that the medicine "wasnt helping", but didnt explain the lack of emotions. Sometimes, you need to take more of the drug for it to help, hence prescribing more. this is NOT a normal thing for antidepressants and don't let the video stray you from seeking help!! im currently on very good meds at the perfect dose and ive never felt better

[@KartalaBreed]

I had that problem for a bit on my meds because the dose was too high. It's either OP didn't explain or the psychiatrist was bad.

[@mystia_crob]

@ to be fair, it is kind of hard to explain. my guess is that OP said "i feel nothing" and the psychiatrist took that to mean "i am feeling no effect" and raised the dose

[@Jcjcjd-d2o]

A phone can be a horrible addiction but not quite as obvious.

[@mr.theking2484]

I highly disagree with Salvia being the worst drug. It has changed many people's lives for the better, as dysdelics tend to do. The thing that makes Salvia give so many bad trips is that people don't know that it's a dysdelic (psychedelic and dissociative in one drug, kinda like DMT but closer to the middle) and that these drugs should not be taken in big doses at first. You shouldn't take 20x salvia for your first trip, that's stupid, but people do that anyways. Take a very small pinch of 1x for your first time and work your way up from there at your own pace.

[@melissahollowell7255]

Interesting someone mentioned topirimate (Topamax), I can generally tolerate any prescription medication but that drug gave me narcolepsy like symptoms. I actually fell asleep while driving twice. And it wasn't even falling asleep. It was awake one second, asleep the next.

Sedation is good when you are a suicide risk. As a temporary measure obviously, untill the real treatment can be figured out.

[@kaponofryxell4798]

I don't know if it's ever good. I mean, how can you figure out a "real treatment" when you just numbed the patient's personality so much that they can't have an honest conversation about what they're really going through? By the time you've checked their medical history enough to know they're not allergic to the sedative, you should already know enough to know what to prescribe as the actual treatment. There are always restraints or suicide watch for suicide risk patients

[@vehlinge]

Wow, seems like the salvia ones got k2(i think spice is what they called it in video) not salvia because that sounds exactly like what happened when I tried it a few times which sounds way too similar to the last story. The bubble popping reference caused a spike of anxiety from the final time I did it and reality is sort of in question again so yeah. Salvia is a “businessman’s drug” for starters so any stories you hear that the high lasts longer than 20 minutes it’s not salvia. Second, you totally leave or you don’t even achieve lift off. Last, salvia is the only “drug” I’ve tried that actually made me feel euphoric (everything in the world was awesome and just good, smiles and genuinely good vibes) AFTER I came back which was like a gentle decline back to normal over maybe 3-4 hours.

Datura user. It’s not a psychedelic, you won’t “trip” it is a deliriant and can cause hallucinations, among other very negative side effects like psychosis

[@Lord_of_ChaoSan]

Since different drugs have different effects in so many ways it really depends. For me Meth and Alcohol seem the worst, closely followed by Opioids/Benzos. But how I arrange what's worse depends- there's both long and short term physical and mental health side effects of each so context for comparing is important, they may be arranged differently. The scariest High I've ever had is VERY easy though: 20x extract of Salvia.... unlike Mushrooms/LSD where the World around you sort of Morphs- I was completely unaware of myself, I was in a totally different universe. Or maybe once when I went blind taking Ecstasy- I crumpled into a heap on the floor on myself, then over the next Hour I regained my vision, I felt so good that I didn't even care that I was blinded- that it's possible to feel that good is scary looking back. I don't do these things anymore, I survived somehow- heh.

[@GhostlyNightz-my5do]

13:20 I'm on a heavy dosing of topyramate for migraines and all the stuff they said makes sense now I've been heavily out of it and stuff since I started it like 2 years ago and they've just been uping my dose more but the blanking makes so much sense now ill just zone out for minutes at a time in classes, conversations, and more for no reason

[@gdtestqueen]

I know that feeling. Been there! It’s a hard drug and I eventually decided it wasn’t worth it for me. I don’t know how long or how many you have tried but there are other preventors. Maybe the neurologist or GP can help you find something that doesn’t have such crappy side effects. Good luck!!

[@1eyed_songbird]

Yeah Topiramate really turns you into a zombie, definitely not a fun drug. If you haven't done it yet, ask your neurologist about other preventives. Methods like Botox and CGRP drugs for example don't have as many side effects as Topiramate. It's not a surefire method or anything, but definitely worth a try. And if none of it helps you can still go back to what worked and deal with the side effects
