Robert Beverley reported, in his 1705 book on the history of Virginia, that some British soldiers who had been dispatched to Jamestown to quell Bacon’s Rebellion gathered and ate leaves of Datura stramonium, and spent 11 days acting in bizarre and foolish ways before recovering. This led to the plant being known as Jamestown weed, and later jimsonweed.

[\/\/ayne]

I remember in the ‘70s they found 5 people dead in a Tucson park from Jimsonweed.

[piasa]

Very similar to a popular flowering shrub called angels’ trumpet.

[Jewbacca]

Only if the resulting plant is still a marijuana plant, I suspect.

[BipolarBob]

That might explain the dain bramage.

Nonsense. I smoked jimsonweed and later went to the drive in and watched "Jimsonweed Madness". It never affected my memory either.

[BitWielder1]

Inhaling smoke is not healthy.
Libs are freaking out about ppm's of soot in city air and then they light up a wad of grass with no known benefits and inhale it.
Makes no sense.

[antidemoncrat]

You forgot corn silk.

[Georgia Girl 2]

We always smoked rabbit tobacco. Mr. GG2 still does.

[Tennessee Conservative]

You can smoke it to relieve asthma, chest colds, etc. or boil it and inhale the vapor from it. This was such a good article on medicinal plants that I had to add that one.

[MHGinTN]

Is that Rabbit Tobacco?

[Red Badger]

...and banana peels............

[Robert DeLong]

Does not sound like something I’ve seen growing here in Lousyana!!! 8>)

I mix Mullein with my loose tabac. It gives a super filtered effect. Beautiful plant. After it blooms, the birds attack this plant for seeds. They love it. When a plant starts growing, I don’t care where on my lawn, I mow around it. In olden days, they’d dip the stalk in wax and use it as candles. Uhm...that’s why I grow it LOL.

Wish I knew about uva ursi. I trimmed my plant this spring. Could have saved the leaves.

Mint I have an abundance of...everywhere.

Mugwort and skullcap grows along my property line where I refuse to mow.

I have sage seeds...

Looks like I’m all set!

[Red Badger]

You live in a veritable pharmacopeia!............

[Scrambler Bob]

Locoweed

Reference old cattle drive movies.

[Aevery_Freeman]

You may know it as "Moon Flower" or "Thorn Apple".

We grow it as an ornamental as they sport huge, beautiful flowers.

Tend to spread, though.

A couple of the hippie chicks were burning sage at the house, once. I smelled it two blocks away. Smelled like the worst marijuana in the world being burned in a leaf pile.

[bankwalker]

Wildwood Flower

[tired&retired]

Your screen name after your statement says it all. LOL...

[gundog]

Gene splicing, maybe.
