What happened when a Tik Tok star accidentally smelled the 'world’s scariest drug'

Singer-songwriter and Tik-Tok star

Raffaela Weyman

, along with her friend, innocently smelled a flower that later turned out to be one of the world’s scariest and most poisonous drugs.

Weyman, who is better known as RALPH shared a video of her and her friend smelling the yellow flower they randomly found in a bush on Sunset Boulevard.

As reported by Newsweek, Weyman said, "I was walking along Sunset Boulevard with my best friend, we had drunk a couple of glasses of wine at a friends' birthday party and we were just in a silly mood."

"The flowers were growing on a tree right in front of us and they were so huge and so intoxicating, we couldn't help ourselves. We're both from Canada so [it] isn't a flower native to our homeland, we'd never seen them before and found them so beautiful," she further added.

Later that night, things started to take a turn when the two started feeling unwell, so much so, that they had to leave their friend’s birthday party.

At night, Weyman started having weird dreams and experienced sleep paralysis for the first time in her life.

She told Newsweek, "I started to feel really unbalanced and unable to socialize, my legs felt tired and the ground felt uneven. My best friend was also feeling odd so we left and went to our separate homes. I went to bed and had my first sleep paralysis experience - I thought a human entered my room dressed in black and sat next to me injecting me with a needle that made me unable to talk or scream or move. I was just lying there making quiet moaning sounds."

The flower that Weyman and her friend were smelling was what is called an ‘

angel’s trumpet

.’ It is used as a hallucinogen and is a deadly narcotic. The flower is either dried to smoke or brewed as a tea for consumption.
The flower contains large quantities of belladonna alkaloids. These include atropine, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine.

Scopolamine, also called ‘

Devil’s Breath

’ is extremely dangerous and is known for being used in Colombia for criminal activities.

After waking up the next morning, Weyman looked the flower up on Google and realised what they had been smelling so casually.

"We had posted a video on our Instagram stories of us smelling the flower, and woke up the next day to tons of responses from friends saying 'That's a REALLY

poisonous flower

, are you okay!!??' We googled it and I read different articles about its potential to cause paralysis and hallucinations. I've never in my life had sleep paralysis so I concluded that it must have been a result of the flower, which I was walking with and deeply inhaling for about 30 minutes," she said.

“Turns out the flower is super poisonous and we accidentally drugged ourselves like idiots,” Weyman’s TikTok video said.

In 2012, Vice did a documentary on Devil’s Breath and compared it to “the worst roofie you could ever imagine, times a million."

In the documentary, as told by Vice, “To anyone else watching you, it seems like you’re perfectly fine, but you’ve completely lost control of your own actions, so you’re at the whim of suggestions, and that’s how people take advantage of you.”

This is the reason why the drug is one of the best to commit crimes since the person doesn’t remember anything the next day and has hypnosis-like effects, making them easy to manipulate and control.


“It’s highly poisonous and causes hallucinations and zombie-like trances SOOOO stick to inhaling my music, not a random flower you find on the street,” Weyman said in an Instagram post.
