This plant is no joke. It is a plant to be super careful with. Where I grew up in Virginia, a species of Datura also grows they call 'Jimsonweed' or "Moonflower" and people have died, mostly teenagers, from eating the seeds. Of course, it is very medicinal, and with the right amount, could be very healing. But, there are fewer expert herbalists these days that know what to do with it. Some people make 'flower essences' with the flowers, soaking them in water for half a day, and then removing the flower and bottling the water in some brandy, and taking only drops at a time. thanks for sharing.

Thanks for such an insightful addition. There is no doubt that the plant is a dangerous, yet widely available one. I think something should be done to document some of these deadly plant and call the attention of the public to them.
The author Dale Pendell wrote the Pharmako books, three of them, documenting poison plants of different types worldwide. I’m pretty sure it’s published in many languages. It is a really amazing set of books. He died a could years ago unfortunately.
