Caption:
This image depicted a close view of a Datura stramonium plant’s foliage, highlighting the weed’s leaves, some older buds, and a spiny seed capsule (lower-center). Also known as the jimsonweed, all its structures contain what are known as tropane alkaloids, including atropine, and scopolamine, classified as deliriants, which are a class of hallucinogens. In higher doses, ingesting pieces of this plant in order to experience induced hallucinogenic effects, can be fatal.
