Hidden behind the facade of a beautiful flower; Datura, or as many call it Angel’s Trumpets lies a dangerous entheogen.

Angel’s Trumpets

How far would you go to escape reality and is it worth it? If you thought the Amanita Muscaria was sickening then you are in for a treat. This pretty flower is much more toxic or shall I say much more potent for the druggies out there. If you can get the dosage right you might just escape with a good time,but usually that is not the case. The wrong amount could actually stop your heart. Most people conclude that one experience is more than enough on this deceiving flower, either because of the side effects or because of the intense experience.

As of now I have never heard of anyone being addicted to psilocybe mushrooms in my life. There are no addictive properties to it. Read more of this post

CandleMaker Movie Reviews: The Lost Boys (1987)

In a time where style is everything but original I awake a classic that hasn’t been sleeping all that much. Since the times are in love with vampires more than ever, I figure I start off with a real vampire movie, when cool was cool in the 80′s. Although I was born in 85′, I still had the taste of the 80′s stuck in my mouth well into the 90′s. Of course I welcomed it back with a big dose of nostalgia as well. Read more of this post
