It's Datura which is known by many names and different species are found widely throughout the west. It' even sold as a flowering garden plant known as Moon Flower because of its attractive, fragrant flowers.
Best avoid it.

They grow wild all over the place here, I've got one in the back yard that's been there for years. When it blooms you can smell it from across the yard and the honeybee's swarm all over it. Enjoy the big white flowers and enjoy the smell, but leave it at that. When the die back in the winter they form a big tuber underground with the consistency of a hard potato and that's when the native Americans would retrieve them. They're supposed to be more potent at that time.
