Datura wrightii or Sacred Datura is the name of a poisonous perennial plant and ornamental flower of
southwestern North America. It is sometimes used as a hallucinogen. Datura wrightii is classified as
a deliriant and an anticholinergic. Wikipedia

In Native American tribes of the southwest, as is often the case with tribes elsewhere, in rites of
passage, a young person coming of age would fast and pray for days in order to purify himself. In
some cases, the initiate might be isolated or left in the wild alone. At the appropriate time, a
Medicine person or tribal spiritual elder that would nominally be called by others than Native
Americans, a Shaman, might accompany the initiate to a holy place, possibly a mountain top or cave,
and a tea would be made from the roots, leaves and even the seeds from the prickly seed pod of a
plant called Sacred Datura. The individual would drink this tea and wait for visions, and the
initiate would definitely have visions.
