Winemaker Notes
The use of the Jimson weed elixir for young boys' initiation ceremonies was indeed a widespread practice among many tribes in the southern part of California with special emphasis on the Mission Tribes. Jimson weed, also known as Datura, contained powerful hallucinogenic properties and was traditionally used in various indigenous cultures for spiritual and ceremonial purposes. The practice is know to be thousands of years old and was last recorded in the late 1800’s.
