Get shot of it - it's poisonous.

Ratter are down in Dartmoor ? no not the prison ?

Great I have always wondered what Datura looked - it is said to grow on the moor. A few kids were intoxicated in the late seventies in Plymouth

modern refs are:

thanks lads - I now know what not to pick and make tea from

frugalfred: One of many simalar to the fungal variety that can cause the same effect. A 50/50% chance of enjoying or dying.

[Frank97]

A friend of mine ate a small leaf once, he was of his face for hours!

[frugalfred]

dizmouk - I have no confidence in my ability to accurately identify fungi! In France, one can take the fungus to the local pharmacy for identification. Good idea!

[Frank97]

I don't advocate doing that BTW!
Get rid!

[Frank97]

advocate advise

[RATTER15]

Oh hell!! it will be gone first thing in the morning!

Thanks guys.

[dizmouk2009]

The fungal variety I was refering to was, and is, 'magic mushrooms' but I'm assuming you already realised that :)

[Peter Pedant]

yeah understood - you were talking about kids going off their heads
there isnt a fungus called datura

horses can get poisoned as well

[RATTER15]

Also known as "jimsonweed" it appears.

I dont like the sound of it!

[tonyav]

Get rid, RATTER.
By the way hows the Landy going ?.

[sandyRoe]

Is that what the Americans call Locoweed?

[dizmouk2009]

Peter Pedant: No I was refering to a fungus. I was trying to be discrete about how I wrote my post. Obviously I've now brought more attention to it than intended so I might as well state what I was getting at.

The image of the weed posted by RATTER can be used as a hallucinogenic as can 'magic mushrooms'.

I do apologise for getting defensive but at the moment I'm on the war path.

[Frank97]

The leaf of the one my friend consumed came from a local garden centre, where they still sell them sometimes, usually with a warning though.

[RATTER15]

HeyTony, landy going like a dream mate. :-)

Tried to get a look at it this morning but all I could see was an empty album and a (?)
