JIMSON WEED
I was thinking about Jimson weed yesterday, and how kids ate the seeds in the mid-seventies, and damned if kids aren't still doing it!
While highly hallucinogenic, these things are also very toxic, to the point of fatality. These kids are on life support. My cousin and some of his classmates at Christ School in Asheville ate some in 1975, and he said it was the scariest ride of his life. He woke up in a trashcan.
I always found it interesting that Benjy in The Sound and The Fury was always chewing on Jimson weed. A tale told by an idiot, indeed.

Posted by: Heather at February 12, 2006 4:04 PMI am a mother of 3 boys. I have recently been exposed to this Jimsom by my two teenage boys 15 and 14. I didnt know anything about this drug until the Trauma Doctor was trying to save my oldest son's life. He went for a bike ride with his brother, a kid at the movie theater took them in the desert and got these flowers. The kid cut them open and gave one of my sons all the seeds from 2 flowers with a spoon, and my oldest 3 full flowers of seeds. Paramedics called me at 5:50pm from my sons cell phone saying your son is down in the parking lot of *****. we are transporting him to the hospital. My son had been lying on the black asphalt in 120 degree weather for 50 minutes, while unconsious 7 kids surrounded him, stole his Reddline bike, Ipod, kicked him in the sides, pulled his jeans down to his knees, and left him baking in the sun. He was nonresponsive, 2nd degree burns, and started seizing. Please everyone, this is not a fun experience and you will die.......Please Dont.....
Posted by: Dorothy at July 18, 2006 4:35 AMMy friend is in the hospital right now because he ate some seeds. we dont know how many because he is still unconsious. He has been this way since 5:30pm,
it is 1:32pm. we are all terribly worried. his mother isnt dealing with in well. everyone wants to kill the kid who gave my friend the seeds.
For those that want to try it, don't. Spent two days worrying about a young man from our school who was given Jimson Tea.
The first day in the hospital he was in very bad shape. (convulsing, hullucinating, concious but unable to recognize his parents) Defintely not a good trip. Thankfully, day 3 he is starting to recover.
Posted by: Mike at September 30, 2006 10:21 PMIve had a personal experience with these "moonflowers" as well. I ate three or these spikey pods seeds. People were tellin me i was sellin some sort of drug through an imaginary door in the wall.I also tripped and busted my head on the bar.i split the formica in two different directions.I later went to the icu. While i was being examined i proseded to pik things off of the nurse and inspect them i was told.The next morning i do remember seeing some things very clearly.!!! I also thought i was smokin cigeretes in the icu at the hospital. i went into the bathroom and saw three ppl one was my friend and his two latino cartoon lowrider models smokin a bowl of some clear stuff. i demanded them to pass it. I finally used the restroom and walked out and seen two hooded figures sitting on the sink. one was shorter than the other and the shoter one had a red and black flamed hooded sweater the other a plain gray one. i spoke with them but they would not respond.it was scary and weird.they made me drink charcoal.I was sick as hell after ward. Ill never mess with that stuff again!!!!!!!!!!
