datura

Devil's trumpet plant

Datura is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family, known for their trumpet-shaped blooms and potent toxicity.

All parts contain tropane alkaloids that cause hallucinations, delirium, and potentially death.

Despite its dangers, datura has been used in shamanic rituals and folk medicine across cultures.

Common names include jimsonweed, thorn apple, and devil's trumpet.
