Title: Complete misrepresentation of Datura
Review: This book is full of romaticized reefer madness style clichés about 'drug use' that conflate opiates and psychedelics. Why does Theroux use the name 'datura' for his fictional drug? Datura, an actual psychoactive plant, doesn't cause blindness, isn't addictive, and definitely does not turn people into telepathic sex fiends. It is however fairly dangerous and generally considered unpleasant, see http://www.erowid.org/plants/datura/datura.shtml
