Although it is very useful for asthma, I mainly use it topically. Jimson Weed is excellent for nerve used as a foot bath or soak. Horse nettle is similar but far less potent.
That horse nettle is all around here. It reminds me of a F3 throwback eggplant with thorns, but the fruits look like ground cherries. Cows leave that one alone too.
Jimson weed is best relegated to topical use, especially for a home herbalist. For asthma, other herbal smooth muscle relaxants are available which present fewer systemic, and CNS issues.
I have done ayahuasca that was nowhere near as awful as everyone warned. I burned frog secretions into my skin (Kambo) and I find usually there's some value in the noxious. I wonder if there's a way to reap its benefits without getting unwell. I don 't do drugs recreationally. I do ceremonies with plant medicines where you approach it with great reverence, special diets, etc... Hmmmm. I'll look around.
You’re talking psychedelics. Jimson weed is a deliriant. I linked this on Minds, and got a whole lot of negative reviews for this weed. My own research assessment was that this weed is not extremely dangerous from a strictly poison standpoint. So nasty, people don’t eat a lot. But the delirium is reported to be long lasting, (a long weekend), and no fun at all.
(Speaking of delirium, in health care, it’s becoming more of a strap you down on the bed + chemical straitjacket kind of thing, especially with recent personnel shortages. )
People come to the emergency room on them. When the ratio in the ER is 6 to 10 patients per 1 nurse, the care cannot possibly be good. So, under these circumstances, expect the "sitters" for patients to often be security personnel if there are any at all. As the health systems continue to crash, expect reduced compassion for those who voluntarily do things that cause an ER admission.
It is true that many of the drugs used in hospitals for sedation and other purposes can cause delirium, particularly in the elderly, or those who take other meds. The chemical straitjackets given to delirious or violent patients can prolong the delirium.
Yikes. Sounds like one flew over the cuckoo's nest. It's hard to tell what is hype and what is propaganda about drugs. People warn me against ayahuasca, but it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life . I was raised in a time when they had a film called reefer madness. They were trying to get kids to stop smoking pot but it backfired because it just looked like ridiculous propaganda to the kids. Is it true that there's no Safe way to experience that as a plant medicine?

Yep!
I want to get high on Jimson weed! I wonder if we have it here in Philadelphia. Where are you located, Weedom?
The uninitiated are most likely to visit the emergency room when they try to take a trip on that weed.
Weedomland is in Midwest flyover country USA.

Gotcha. You mean, they use deliriant in hospitals?
