As kids we used to smoke Jimsonweed, and survived.
It contains tropane alkaloids which produce the hallucinogenic properties, and may be severely toxic.
That might explain the dain bramage.

Jimsonweed contains scopalamine that causes delerium.

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

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.

“Manson Family” members, in addition to lots of L.S.D. used Jimson Weed extensively. Nasty, nasty stuff.
I heard a Sunday gardening program a couple weeks ago talking about it as a landscape plant, the host casually mentioned over the air “I think you can smoke it and get a buzz” couldn’t believe she said that. Any 12 year old kid will hear that and try it.
