Jimsonweed, also known as devil’s trumpet or thorn apple, is a striking plant with spiny seedpods and lovely trumpet-shaped white or lavender blossoms that open at dusk. Found in roadsides, ditches, and open fields across many states, it has potent psychotropic, hallucinogenic, and narcotic properties. Even brief contact with Jimsonweed can cause severe side effects like dilated pupils, hallucinations, delirium, and, in extreme cases, coma or seizures. In 1676, British soldiers sent to Virginia to quell Bacon’s Rebellion ingested Jimsonweed in a boiled salad and remained in a stupor for 11 days. More recently, in 2008, a family in Maryland was poisoned when they mistook it for an edible garden green and ate it in a stew. (link) 

(link)   is a poisonous flowering plant in the Daturae tribe of the nightshade family Solanaceae. Its likely origin was in Central America, and it has been introduced in many world regions. It is an aggressive invasive weed in temperate climates and tropical climates across the world. D. stramonium has frequently been employed in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments. It has also been used as a hallucinogen (of the anticholinergic/antimuscarinic, deliriant type), taken entheogenically to cause intense, sacred or occult visions. It is unlikely ever to become a major drug of abuse owing to effects upon both mind and body frequently perceived as being highly unpleasant, giving rise to a state of profound and long-lasting disorientation or delirium (anticholinergic syndrome) with a potentially fatal outcome. It contains tropane alkaloids which are responsible for the psychoactive effects, and may be severely toxic.

Datura stramonium is an erect, annual, freely branching herb that forms a bush 60 to 150 cm (2 to 5 ft) tall.

The root is long, thick, fibrous, and white. The stem is stout, erect, leafy, smooth, and pale yellow-green to reddish purple in color. The stem forks off repeatedly into branches and each fork forms a leaf and a single, erect flower.

The leaves are about 8 to 20 cm (3–8 in) long, smooth, toothed, soft, and irregularly undulated. The upper surface of the leaves is a darker green, and the bottom is a light green. The leaves have a bitter and nauseating taste, which is imparted to extracts of the herb, and remains even after the leaves have been dried.

Datura stramonium generally flowers throughout the summer. The fragrant flowers have a pleasing odour; are trumpet-shaped, white to creamy or violet, and 6 to 9 cm (2+1⁄2–3+1⁄2 in) long; and grow on short stems from either the axils of the leaves or the places where the branches fork. The calyx is long and tubular, swollen at the bottom, and sharply angled, surmounted by five sharp teeth. The corolla, which is folded and only partially open, is white, funnel-shaped, and has prominent ribs. The flowers open at night, emitting a pleasant fragrance, and are fed upon by nocturnal moths.

The egg-shaped seed capsule is 3 to 8 cm (1–3 in) in diameter and either covered with spines or bald. At maturity, it splits into four chambers, each with dozens of small, black seeds.

(Googles AI from search 'Jimsonweed roots') Jimsonweed, also known as Datura stramonium, has a long, thick, fibrous, and white root system. These roots are characteristic of the plant and help it anchor itself in the soil. While the roots are part of the plant, they are not typically known for their medicinal or edible uses, but rather for supporting the plant's growth and survival
(google ai) Jimsonweed (Datura stramonium) flowers are typically 4 to 12 cm wide at the mouth. They can be 5 to 20 cm long and are trumpet-shaped.

(Link) Datura is a very showy plant, although it is considered a weedy species found growing in disturbed areas. It has very large, white (sometimes tinged purple), funnel-shaped flowers that bloom in the late afternoon and evening, and close in the morning.

Datura flowers are fragrant and are pollinated at night by hawkmoths. Pull up a chair next to a population of Datura and watch the hawkmoths visit the plants at night. The moths hover like hummingbirds and unfurl a very long proboscis into the floral tube to get the nectar.

Sacred datura is found alongside roads, ditches, and sandy washes from 1,000 to 6,000 feet in elevation. The leaves are large, dark green grayish, and velvety. They can cause dermatitis to those with sensitive skin. The flowers are 6 to 7 inches long and 5 inches wide. The fruit is a greenish capsule covered with spines.

All parts of this plant are poisonous, containing toxic alkaloids. Livestock and people have been fatally poisoned by ingesting the plant and seeds.

(my text - the danger)
Jimsonweed is in the Daturae tribe of nightshade family. All parts of this plant is poisonous when digested and can cause irritation to the skin when touched. It has potent psychotropic, hallucinogenic, narcotic properties and contains tropane alkaloids, what is both highly toxic and responsible for the psychoactive effect it has,  Evan brief contact with Jimsonweed can cause server side effects, such as dilated pupils, long-last disorientation, delirium. In extreme cases it can cause come, seizures or death. Due to the extreme unpleasantness this plant has on both the mind and the body, it is not likely to be used a major drug.

(my text - general information on the plant)
Jimsonweed is a bush that grows between 60 to 150 cm tall (2-5 ft), it is found along roadsides, in ditches as well as in some open fields across many states in central America, where it was most likely originated from. The roots of this bush are long and thick in shape, having a fibrous texture and white in colour, while the stem of this plant is pale yellow-green to reddish purple in colour. The stem will repeatedly fork of into branches, each one of these forks will grow leaves and a singular flower. Jimsonweed grows long, soft and toothed leaf that grows between 8 and 20 cm, the lower surface of the leaf is light green while the upper surface is dark green. This bush grows a trumpet-shaped flower that is white or lavender/violet in colour, these flowers grow between 5 - 20 cm long and 4 - 12 cm wide. These flowers bloom during dusk and close to the morning, emitting a pleasant smell, they get pollinated by hawkmoths during this time.
