Datura stromonium, a common weed. It is thought to be a hallucinogen be Sue it can because bizarre reactions. It may also be the poison use in Macbeth.

@pentagrammom okay, i give up.
@samueltyler2 wasn't extracted yesterday, for humanity I rebukes that character the algorithm chose to front as, myself enigma anomaly, my own character writing

It's an extremely powerful muscle relaxer. The heart is a muscle, and ingesting any part of the plant in even small quantities can relax the heart to the point of stopping.
It also has powerful hallucinogenic qualities and some people have used it for the trip, the smallest taste. They say it's not a fun experience.

They grow wild in the fields here, everywhere. I think they're cool the way the flowers roll up like cigarettes during the day and open in the moonlight.

@robingoodfellow I am a retired medical to oncologist. I responded to several outbreaks of daturia overdoses, usually teenagers trying to get high. When i hear the term relaxation, I do not think of anticholinergics at all.
@samueltyler2 ok what you're saying about the heart speeding up checks out with what I'm reading now online. So my book is in the wrong. Appreciate the correction.

In the Revolutionary War it was useful. British soldiers would come to Colonist’s homes and demand to be fed from their meager supplies of food. The people figured out that they could extract some of this and add it to the soldiers food and when they passed out they could capture them. It is known as Jimsom weed nowadays. We had it growing wild in the area around one of the barns.

@FreddieUK Read a medical mystery case where family members got really sick after eating dinner and had to go to the emergency room. Doctors were puzzled about what made them sick, it wasn’t a gastro virus and it wasn’t everyone in the family who had dinner together. They questioned them about what they had eaten etc. They had some sliced tomatoes from the garden but not everyone got sick that ate them. Come to find out their hired hand had did a little experiment after hearing he could graft a tomato plant branch onto a Jimson weed plant and it would grow and bear fruit. The tomatoes from the Jimsom weed were toxic. They were treated and nobody died but they sure got sick.

@cherokeepatti There was a case during the Civil war in which a group of soldiers cooked up a pot of Jimson weed. I can't remember what edible plant they mistook if for but it took a few days for it to wear off.

There's actually several plants in that family, some have medical and possibly recreational value, some not so much. I know Jimson weed when I see it, some of the others I know enough to say "yeah, it's related" but not enough to make a positive ID.There's one that grows as a vine and the seed pods resemble tiny tomatoes already.

@robb65 yes that’s probably how they found out it was toxic. It was later used as a weapon against the British soldiers who would go into homes and demand to be fed. They could easily be captured after they got sick.

They only bloom at night

@kodiac Moonflowers, which grow on a vine only bloom at night. They attract those large green luna moths. These flower that he’s posting about don’t grow on vines and they bloom during the daytime.
Ever attempt known, calmly stating no reset is occurring, plan failed, omnipotence is a concept proven impossible
