Jimsonweed

poisonous weed, sometimes used as a hallucinogen. Commonly called Thorn Apple. Datura stramonium is classified as a deleriant, or an anticholinergic.

In the US it is, however, called Jimson Weed, or more rarely Jimpson Weed; it got this name from the town of Jamestown, Virginia. In the 1600s starving settlers, in desperation, attempted to eat the known toxic plants by repeatedly boiling them. The toxins were diluted enough to prevent death, but the settlers were dazed from the drug's effect for days.
