There was an article in the Patriot Ledger Newspaper (Quincy, Mass) last week,about three Milton, MA High School students who were hospitalized after eating some of this plant. The story said that one of them read about it somewhere on the net'.

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.

I once attended to a 15 year old that had drank jimsom weed tea, If he wasnt having primal screams from the top of his lungs he was Begging GOD to save his life. he had a 200 lb cop ditting on his leg which he lifted the cop in the air and held him there. It took 5 guys to hold this 90 lb kid down. The super stregth is nothing more than the blocking of pain receptors that would make any of us stop lifting before our arms broke. Not these people they will snap their arms under their own strength.
If any of your kids think about doing this.... hold them by the hair and punch them in the face as hard as you can. Then tell them too bad you weren't on jimson weed you wouldn't have felt that.

Professional stoners on closed course. Do not try at home! This can be very dangerous stuff to play with. For starters you can be delerious for a week.

called the Angel Trumpet, Datura or Jimsonweed

Wasn't Datura one of the hallucinogens given to Castaneda by his Yaqui mentor in The Teachings of Don Juan?
