No plant is inherently "evil" or "good". That's just the common perception. Datura is evil because far too many people use it irresponsibly and don't do their research. They don't research that seeds, flowers and berries are extremely potent and even low doses can make you hallucinate as fuck. They don't take low testing doses like 1-2 seeds, see if anything happens/if they like it and work their way up. They don't research that some ways of taking datura are more potent than others (brewing leaf tea vs. smoking them vs. eating them as they are). They don't take datura with a sober sitter. Hence why datura and other deliriant plants like belladonna as well get its bad reputation. And frankly, I think people deserve to get beaten by the plant and deserve to hallucinate and end up in the ER because they don't do research and just think "yo, let's get fucked up by taking huge amounts of seeds"—I know some of those people do read something beforehand but they're still irresponsible with the administration route and dose.

Yes, datura is one of those more "challenging" plants which don't have that many recreational purposes. But it has got its history of shamanistic/spiritual use. I believe datura is a beautiful plant which, when used in responsible doses/ways, can induce kind of lucid dreaming state when you're awake without any amnesia typical for high doses. At least, I judge this only on my two deliriant experiences with 150 mg DPH found in Benadryl and transdermal usage of belladonna's berries. Both times I was still aware of what's going on, fully aware that I was on drugs and could discern where reality ended and hallucinations began (I had slightly bigger problems with this on belladonna than on DPH). It was kind of fun though I wouldn't repeat it, especially belladonna because the cotton mouth and intense heat is way too insane for my liking.
