Summary
Datura is extremely dangerous and potentially fatal. Potency varies wildly between plants, plant parts, growing conditions, and even within the same plant (5:1 to 20:1 variation). There is no safe or reliable dosage. The margin between an active dose and a lethal dose is extremely narrow. Datura causes severe anticholinergic syndrome, prolonged delirium lasting days, realistic and terrifying hallucinations, hyperthermia, seizures, and has resulted in numerous deaths and permanent injuries.
