A large, whitish root produces the round, glabrous, yellowish-green, branching stem which grows 1-5 feet high.  The leaves are alternate, dark green above and lighter beneath, ovate, and irregularly incised and toothed. The flowers are large, white, and showy; grow on short peduncles in the axils of the branches from June to September. The slightly spiraled blooms make this plant easy to identify. The four-parted, chambered, spiny seedpods are distinctive, too.  The fruit is an ovate, prickly capsule containing many black seeds.<\/p>\n<p>Although this plant produces useful alkaloids, it is violently toxic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another variety:<\/strong> Another plant (Datura meteloides) was known as Jimson Weed by the Native Americans.  They made a tea of the plant to wash a horse with it when he tried to stray.  They called the plant \u201cMoip.\u201d  It has a heavy root, which when soaked, ground and boiled, the tea renders the drinker unconscious.  The drinker has visions, but must be watched to prevent wandering off in search of some lost article.<br \/>\n<a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Where\">Where Found<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Found in Europe, Asia, and North and South America.

The Greek priests of Apollo used it to produce prophecies.  In 38 BC Antony\u2019s soldiers ate some of the plant while retreating and became ridiculously incoherent.  The plant\u2019s name is derived from a similar incident involving soldiers in Jamestown in 1676.  They too ate the plant and were good for little but clowning for eleven days.  As a result, the plant came to be called Jamestown weed, which evolved into jimson weed.<\/p>\n<p>Its use was supposedly introduced to medieval Europe by gypsies who brought it from India.  The gypsies smoked it to experience hallucinations.  Because it also gives the sensation of flying and releases inhibitions, especially in women, jimson weed was associated in the Middle Ages with witchcraft, Witches inhaled its vapors while casting spells.<\/p>\n<p>Jimson weed has been taken for its narcotic and hallucinogenic effects by Native American tribes from the southwestern United States to South America.  Many tribes used it to induce visions in priests, medicine men, and puberty rites.  The Zuni and many California Indian tribes set broken bones after administering jimson weed as an anesthetic.  The Mariposa Indians gave it to its women as an aphrodisiac.<\/p>\n<p>The name stinkweed refers to the narcotic odor which is unpleasant.<\/p>\n<p>The plant is gathered in the fall and slowly dried in the shade.<br \/>\n<a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Uses\">Uses<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><font color=\"#0000CC\">Jimson weed is a dangerous plant in inexperienced hands, and an overdose is likely to be fatal.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A tincture is sometimes given for spasmodic coughing, chronic laryngitis, a narcotic poison, mania, epilepsy, delirium tremens (DTs), typhus, and asthma.
