Default Datura - poisonous?

How come if Datrura are poisonous mine are eaten to shreds (looks like slug
damage).

Do the slugs have a cast iron constitution?


What is poisonous to an organism depends on the organism's make up and
the chemical processes that go to make its digestive system. IIRC
chocolate is poisonous to dogs.

If other organisms could eat only those things which we can eat safely,
how would dead plants and animals ever decay?
