Yep, certainly looks like something someone on LSD or peote’ would paint........I hope they didn’t end up cutting off an ear or something.

Interesting and fascinating.
We can see why our society is becoming more primitive since the psychedelic revolution and widespread dope smoking.

I think scopolamine is the major chemical in datura above and beyond the atropine also present.
To: SunkenCiv
Really interesting article.
I would not be surprised if when one smoked too much and died they believed they were immediately transported to the otherwise unreachable world of the spirits they only could see smoking the plants.
They may have even believed they were pulled their using the sacred plant to abuse or calling.

From Roger Gfeller's tox book: Datura is toxic in all parts, especially the seeds-the active toxins are atropin, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine.
What is of interest is atropine, scopolamine, even methyecgonine share the same base tropane, and differ only at the (?) ester bond.
The plants switch out the inorganic tail enzymatically while chemists have to use multiple steps to force the equation to the left.

Maybe these were painted around 1969 by stoned hippies from Woodstock. Seems to be an antiwar theme in the patterns with some resembling a peace sign.
Or maybe Burning Man goes back even farther than we thought.

I was wondering about Jimson Weed known in the southwest and Mexico as locoweed and para loco respectively.

Smoke a doobie and check it out man. Far out.

It’s also the key to understanding a lot of music from the late 60’s.

It certainly is the key to decoding hippie music.
