Datura. !! Jimson Weed most dangerous hallucianating and killing plant in
europe
This plant will grow anywhere and if found in the wild should be destroyed
on sight

More than Ricinus?

No. Nor Laburnum, nor .... Just don't munch on random plants :-)

The only reason to be cautious is in case leaves fall into salad
vegetables or herbs, but Datura leaves aren't exactly easy to
miss. I was rather more paranoid when I grew Gloriosa. This fuss
was just Merkin hysteria, and most repetitions of it are just
trolling.

The most dangerous plant that a lot of people grow is Monkshood

Datura is often promoted as a hallucinogenic (the seeds) and this is the
cause of many accidents with it.
