Sacred Datura, as it is known to the native Americans of the Southwest, is also known as Jimson weed, is a powerful hallucinogen and deadly poisonous if too much is consumed. Native Americans used it in religious ceremonies and as a medicine, hippies have used it for it hallucinogenic properties. I think it is ironic that I only seen it in "straight laced" Utah, although it grows in many other states and even countries now.
