TikToker Can't Stop Inhaling 'Beautiful Flower'—And Learns The Hard Way It's Highly Poisonous

TikToker Can't Stop Inhaling 'Beautiful Flower'—And Learns The Hard Way It's Highly Poisonous

In an unplanned PSA, a woman on TikTok spread the word about a highly toxic flower she'd sniffed endlessly only a few nights prior.

Why all the sniffing? Because it smelled good, of course.


The TikToker, who goes by songsbyralph, explained the flower's dangers by recounting the fateful night when the good fragrance turned on her.

With text laid over a clip of herself nose deep in the flower, she walked viewers through how it all went down.

"Me and my BFF found this beautiful flower and spent the night deeply inhaling its smell."
"When we arrived at our friends' birthday we both suddenly felt so f'ked up and had to leave. When I got home and fell asleep, I had the craziest dreams and experienced sleep paralysis for the 1st time in my life."

As songsbyralph went on to share, there was only one possible explanation.

"Turns out the flower is super poisonous and we accidentally drugged ourselves like idiots."

When the flower turns on you 🌸☠️ #storytime #summer #flower #oops

As she went on to show with a screenshot of a Google search, the menacing flower is known as "Angel's Trumpet."

A quick scroll through the flower's Wikipedia page yields some terrifying truths about the plant. It causes tremors, muscle paralysis, visual and auditory hallucinations and even death.

An article in the scientific journal Pathology reported the hallucinatory effects were "terrifying rather than pleasurable." The Encyclopedia of Shamanism has found "Brugmansia induces a powerful trance with violent and unpleasant effects, sickening after effects, and at times temporary insanity."

There was even one scenario when a guy ingested tea made from the flower and cut off his own penis and tongue.

Many TikTokers were hardly surprised by what happened after she sniffed the flower.

'Hunger Games'-Style Immigrant Reality Show Pitched To Homeland Security Sparks Outrage

According to a report in The Daily Mail, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly reviewing a pitch for a reality television show where immigrants would compete for a chance to fast-track their path to U.S. citizenship.

DHS is reportedly collaborating with writer and producer Rob Worsoff on a proposed reality television show titled The American, which risks turning a serious and often traumatic process into entertainment. The concept comes as the Trump administration continues to clamp down on asylum access and prepares to implement a sweeping deportation plan targeting millions of undocumented immigrants.

GOP Rep. Has To Be Woken Up During Roll Call After Pulling An All-Nighter—And Oops

Utah Republican Representative Blake Moore had social media aghast after video showed he had to be woken up by one of his GOP colleagues to vote during a House Ways and Means Committee meeting early Wednesday morning after pulling an all-nighter.

The House Ways and Means Committee worked through the night Tuesday as Republicans pushed forward key elements of President Donald Trump’s plan to extend tax cuts in ongoing budget negotiations. The marathon session extended into the early hours of Wednesday, and just before 5 a.m. ET, cameras caught Moore asleep in his chair as his turn to vote arrived.
