 Hi, Elien -
  Having grown datura as a part-time hobby for some time, I was just wondering 
which of the various cultivars you are referring to. Here in the SW part of 
the country datura meteloides, or sacred datura, a perennial that dies back 
to the roots each winter, is generally considered the ancient, or 
psychotropic one. And, I was wondering where you found the information 
regarding the Yaqui method of preparation. You're right about the poisons 
(its a powerful source of atropine and scopalamine) but I have heard many and 
varied stories about its efficacy as a mind enhancer. Your comments?
  Best regards,
