I have known of most of these plants for years but would not recomend that any one use them for anything other than their beauty. For instance you can see datura plants in several national park sites. They really are very beautiful and smell very nice but are also very toxic and can kill if you eat them.

Beyond possible acute poisoning, datura was used in India to enhance the punch of their already potent ganga, and in the U.S. in asthmadore cigarrettes to help the asthmatic, until it was found that the stuff causes severe organic brain damage even in "recreational" or "therapeutic" doses.
Like most of the plants in this article, it is quite dangerous and it is terribly irresponsible to tout them as a cheap and easy high (the exception, assuming the seeds are not treated with other chemicals, is the Morning Glory.)
I am no opponent of the entheogenic herbs, but this is an unfortunate article, and I can only hope nobody is injured or killed because they were inspired to imbibe these dangerous substances.

Poisonous plants are far more common than people believe.

Great pictures!
None of these plants should be played with but with the right guidance and support they all lend themselves to experimentation.
Key to ingestion of any unknown substance is to start with an empty stomach and use very small doses and wait at least half an hour before adding an additional dose.
The gap between a psychoactive dosage and a lethal one can be very small..

This is a fun way to spend a couple of lives, if you are playing a video game.
In reality its the kind of advice where you die, and the guy who posted it never hears of you.
Don't do this stuff.

Datura grows wild all over VA where I live. We call it Jimson weed. Also morning glories are a pestilential weed in the veggie garden. I have a huge pot of angel's trumpet that is several years old and getting to be a real chore to relocate twice a year, but it is such an exotic beauty on my patio each summer and I have two strapping big nephews, LOL. I've known about all these plants since the 70's, but in spite of a pretty um...adventurous past, I've never experimented with any of them.

Datura/Angel & Devil's Trumpet/Jimson weed is the same plant that the cowboys in the old Westerns called "locoweed". Cowboys on the trail had to make sure the cattle didn't graze on the plants and start acting "loco".
