Also known as Jimson Weed or Devil's Weed (Yerba del Diablo), it is a hallucinogenic and poisonous deliriant and improper use can cause death. Excavations dating to 1200 C.E. have shown that the prehistoric Pueblo Indians of the Southwest used the plant in rituals and it is still used today for medicinal, ritual and aphrodisiac purposes.  "I believe we need wilderness in order to be more complete human beings, to not be fearful of the animals that we are, an animal who bows to the incomparable power of natural forces... an animal who has not forgotten what it means to pray before the unfurled blossom of the sacred datura, remembering the source of all true visions."
