lavender trumpet vine often abused for illegal recreational
If it is a datura, it is not a vine. It is a shrubby annual herb. And it is
poisonous. Jimson weed, a datura species, was made famous by Carlos Castenada for its halucinogenic properties, but it is still rather deadly if you don't know what you're doing. So don't smoke (or eat) your angel's trumpet :-)) John Robertson wrote: I believe it is an angel trumpat vine (Datura).

Is it Campsis radicans(trumpet vine), which I dont belive has any lavender culitvars? Could be a morning glory, which is often used by dumbass highschool kids to get high(they eat the seeds, which often kill people). Toad Toad check out this Clytostoma callistegioides, AKA Lavender Trumpet Vine. Dave |

I got a lavender trumpet vine from ebay, It came with this warning "A garden beauty often abused for illegal recreational activities." What in the world are they talking about? If it's Datura, and if you were considering trying it, don't. http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=1823 |

If it's Datura, and if you were considering trying it, don't. http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=1823 You better not grow tomatoes, potatoes or eggplant either because they are all in the same family and all have equally poisonous leaves. Really. I get so tired of people warning that you shouldn't grow this or that because of the poisonous qualities....it is enough to know they are poisonous and to not eat them. They're still pretty. I suppose I shouldn't allow the foxgloves to grow wild all over my yard, rip out the self-sowing datura, never grow a tomato, etc. Exactly, Ann! I can't tell you how many folks come into the nursery and demand plants for their garden that are non-toxic because of small children, pets, etc. We do try to accommodate them, but when I tell them that will eliminate about 80% of what we carry (including some of the most common plants), they tend to loosen up their requirements. There are some obvious exceptions, specially with young kids that may be attracted to berries, etc. Few pets are stupid enough (or hungry enough) to graze on poisonous plants and kids can be trained - otherwise the accounts of death or major injury by plant ingestion would be astronomical :-)) Perhaps the admonition that accompanied this plant purchase was for those free-spirited souls who intended to partake in the datura's hallucinogenic properties - there is a very fine line between "tripping" and death with this plant. pam - gardengal |

there is a very fine line between "tripping" and death with this plant. And from all I've heard, it's a trip most people wouldn't want to take. Same as with nutmeg, which can be lethal in large quantities--but not too many people here grow nutmegs, I take it. zemedelec |
