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?


It's very, very poisonous to us, but not to everything else. That goes for a
lot of things; datura, deadly nightshade, foxglove, etc. I guess that's
simply a way that the plant has evolved to ensure that the right thing comes
along and eats it
