Many thanks to all who replied. It's definitely Datura inoxia.

This plant species is in the nightshade family with tomatoes,
eggplants, and potatoes. AKA the Solanacea family of plants. All
parts of this particular plant can potentially kill a human, but so
can the foliage of a tomato plant. Seeds of datura can cause
hallucenations, which is why kids eat the seeds and usually take too
many and have been showing up dead. In New Jersey, several years ago
there were ten teens who died from eating the seeds. They can also
cause psychotic breaks.

MANY plants will do this.
