[Denatonium]

I tried it during the summer between 8th and 9th grade after discovering a Datura Stramonium plant growing at a beach on Cape Cod. Fortunately the plant was growing in sand, and the alkaloid content of the plant was very low. I boiled an entire pod down in a soda can and gave it a try. In terms of effects, I did not become delirious, but my perception of gravity was greatly enhanced; I felt like I weighed 600lb. My eyes were also completely incapable of focusing on anything close-up for several days. I never tried Datura again, and I never will. I was lucky I didn't wind up dead, in jail, or in the hospital.
