Yes. Its normal effects are certainly very different. But I am
quite sure that the subjects did not simply touch the plant :-)

Definitely solanaceae, but looks a bit more like an edible physalis of
some
sort - more likely to be mixed in with tomato seeeds I would have
thought ?

Perhaps. Most of the Physalis are edible, but I am not sure whether
all are. The genus is unusual among the Solanaceae in that respect.

I've looked at it now - definitely not thorn apple, and not Physalis.
It's a shoo-fly, Nicandra physaloides. Still Solanaceae. It's widely
grown as an ornamental, and there is a strain available where the stems
and calyces are deep blue.

Perhaps if the OP would harvest some fruit we could all have a taste and
compare notes ? ;-)

The identification on the clip-art ng as 'clematis family' is way off
the mark.
