Datura Inoxia
spikefivefivefive asked:
The plant group Datura looks and smells nice but is actually toxic if consumed. People tend to overdose for two reasons: 1) Its toxicity varies greatly because the plant adapts indvidually (phenotypically) to each respective environment. 2) It also takes hours to begin to notice the effects of the dose consumed so some people think that it hasn’t done anything and dangerously take more during that time. Its effect is actually that of a deliriant, not a hallucinogen. People have died using this so it doesn’t really seem worth the risk to me personally.

Thank you. When I grew Datura stamonium, it was a shorter plant than its cousin Datura stramonium var. tatula. Both of those have foliage which smells somewhat like burned rubber. Datura inoxia’s leaves smell like hot buttered popcorn. The flowers from all three are sweet smelling but not when they are exposed to sunlight. Datura stramonium got its nickname “Jimson Weed” because the settlers in Jamestown ate its leave unkowingly as salad greens and this was followed by a three day spectacle.

I double checked and you’re right.
The botanical image I used at the begining was actually Datura stramonium, even though it was not purple.
Thanks for the correction.
Thank you for correcting my spelling. I wasn’t putting down your video or work at all. I was attempting to share my love for this botanical. I have been growing Datura for almost 40 years now and I still have different varieties available. I don’t abuse this plant. I have stramonium seeds as well as D. ferox, the interesting variety with large spikes. D. inoxia and D. metel are still among my favorites. If you wish, I could provide you with the name of the seed company which sells exotics.
None of the plants depicted in my slideshow have the purple stems or purple flowers that you claim of Datura stromonium.(please note correct spelling)
at 0:13-0:16 you see an illustration of Datura strammonium, not D. inoxia (aka D. meteloides). It is differentiated by green stems and white flowers. Its close relative D. strammonium var. tatula has purple stems and purple flowers. On 0:21 you see a picture of Datura inoxia (meteloides). The leaves from inoxia smell differently from that of strammonium. The most beautiful daturas I have seen was Datura metel (Both gold and purple flowers) from India.
Datura quercifolium has oak shaped leaves.
Whats this tune??
