Datura metel Seeds (Asian thorn apple)

In India datura metel is central to various rituals. In combination with hemp it is smoked in honour of Shiwa.

We know that the Aztecs, who had a detailed knowledge about numerous sacred and medicinal plants, were familiar with several types of Datura species. One of these Daturas was called Toloache. It was used as a painkiller in certain initiation rituals and given as a narcotic to the ritual sacrifices. These plants were so sacred that only the priests were allowed to use them.

Daturas usually grow as herbaceous annuals/perennials. The most striking feature, shared by all species are the beautiful trumpet-like flowers, ranging in color from white to pinkish purple, and in some varieties even to bright golden yellow and red. The flowers exude a beautiful, narcotic scent, especially at night.
