Some very sick, some dead. ------------------------------ Every culture has its drugs. Some don't translate from one culture to another. Brugmansias ( not Daturas)elp spiritual enlightenmenthave to be used in aparticular way (see the grus from harvard uni) I doubt if benzodiazaprines (Seapax)s would translate to S. American cultures. More intelligence and sensitivity to cultural uses of drugs need to happen. Some daturas are deadly some not so. we need to be honset with our kids and tell tem the whole story. Michael Bailes.
