I don't think this is real but could be. At least it's been 3-4 days and the bloke hasn't logged in here even to check responses. If he was joking he should check the thread.

Well maybe we just witnessed natural selection at work. Or maybe this person was not stupid but just very young But let's hope it was a very bad joke.

if this was a troll, he would be pretty good, and would probably be checking from an alt.

i am still not so sure it was, though.

I smell troll, especially this part of his post:

Jimsonweed ive herd from a old Indian dude that its a sacred plant and legal so it must be safe and thats why i chose it to start my exploration of conscious!
So fellow Nexis member's what could i expect im thinking some nice colors and the giggles but im really hoping to meet the spirit of the plant and ask it if there is a afterlife because its something that's always intrigued me

I mean really? :thumb_dow

I think we should be careful with being too judgmental about this being a troll or not.

What the original poster demonstrated was behavior that most people exhibit when it comes to drugs and the consumption of them. The Nexus promotes doing research on a substance before consuming it, but the majority of the population doesn't research anything. A very good friend of mine, with an academic background, dosed herself on various occasions high doses of Saint John's Wort or 5-HTP without even researching what the effects were. She just heard it would make her happy due to the effects on serotonin. Not knowing that St. John's wort can cause photo sensitivity or that taking large doses of 5-HTP will cause the user to become drowsy.

Many people depend on information they got second or third hand, trust it's good enough and use that as a basis for their next actions. It's quite possible this kid just heard Jimson Weed is amazing and just ate a whole bunch of seeds because he never thought he could die from taking these substances. A lot of people don't realize that plants can be toxic too, especially if these plants are used by shamans for ritual purposes.

Don't underestimate how much people view drugs.

Is there any way that The Traveler or any of the mods can identify his IP address based on registration or access to the site? I'm wondering if it could be cross referenced to confirm if it was another member attempting to make some sort of joke?

Or, on the other hand I beleive you can use an IP address to get general geographical information approximating where the IP address originated from.

Might be useful in checking local news sources from the area. Surely something like this would be blasted all over local newspapers/tv stations.

I don't think i've ever read anything good about datura.

I hope no one lost their life over this. If it was a joke it was definitely in bad taste. But i would forgive whoevever made such a horrifying joke if they would put our minds at ease and simply identify themselves and come clean. Obviously we have alot of concerned people here right now and it would be nice to have some closure.

Was thinking about this also.
