Have you ever seen this? We saw this in Chiang Mai and just as someone was about to stand under it to take a photo of it, Aunty Mary shouted out, “Hey! Get away from that!!!”

Huh? What’s happening? Is there a snake around? Wild bees? As everyone looked around, we saw nothing.

Then she warned, “If you stand under the Angel’s Trumpet, you will get meningitis!”

*rolls around laughing*

Did some research.

Datura is native to Brazil – Angel’s Trumpet is an ornamental tree which bears long, white, or salmon, bell shaped flowers that resemble heavenly trumpets. The sap is highly poisonous and will cause eye injury.

Datura has been used for a very long time. Originally, it was used by the shamans, to help them gain entrance to ~other worlds of existance.~ People discovered its medicinal properties through shamans, or ~Medicine Men.~

This plant is poisonous but the natives in Brazil smoke the leaves for a strong narcotic effect said to relieve asthma. The leaves are sometimes smoked. Other parts are brewed in hot water. In the Andes small amounts of seed are pulverized and added to beverages. The Hawaiians smoked the leaves as a hallucinogenic. The seeds cause mental confusion and delirium followed by fitful sleep with colorful hallucinations. This species is more toxic than Datura inoxia. Excessive amounts may cause amnesia. 

Eek. Maybe there was some truth in what she said!
