Jimsonweed

Also known as Devil's Trumpet, Jimsonweed is a hallucinogenic nightmare found in North and South America. This plant contains potent tropane alkaloids that can induce delirium, seizures, psychosis, and even death in small doses. It has earned the nickname "zombie drug" in folklore due to the terrifying, reality-distorting hallucinations it produces. Historical reports suggest that during Bacon's Rebellion, British soldiers became so inebriated on Jimsonweed, later known as Jamestown weed, that their behavior turned wildly unpredictable.
