The substance is Scopolamine. Colombians use the substance to commit crimes.

There are, however, other plants that look very similar.

Hours later, one eyeball was dilated and the hospital thought she had a concussion. Her eyes returned to normal but it took a day. ALWAYS wear gloves when pruning them.

Who knew hummingbirds were into hardcore hallucinogens?

The flowers contain Scopolamine and Atropine. Both hallucinogenic compounds, both are extremely toxic, and will kill you. Also the experience of ingesting the Angel’s trumpet is supposed to be horrifying. Read the Wiki entry here…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brugmansia

where a man reportedly cut off his own penis after drinking tea made from the stuff. So it is the worst trip imaginable, and then you die from the toxicity. I first learned about them at a lecture at the academy of sciences.
