Wylie,
I sense you've eaten a few mushrooms. Datura is far from being a mushroom.
It's a green leafy plant (I've got 3 in my backyard, kind of a study you
might say) with beautiful white flowers which give way to prickley seed
pods. The seeds have the greatist concentration of toxin which is a mix of
anticholinergic agents, mostly hyoscyamine. I'm a toxicologist specializing
in toxic mushrooms. You should check out my Web page sometime.

Until then, be careful what you eat, BOC and Hawkwind need all their fans!
