Instead of a typical “high,” accounts often describe confusion, memory gaps, and an inability to separate what’s real from what isn’t. People don’t just see things, they believe them, completely. This video looks at where datura came from, how it was used, and what happens when that boundary between perception and reality starts to break down.
