**2. Overview of Jimson weed**

Jimson weed is a wild-growing herb that contains belladonna alkaloids. There have recently been reports of teens intentionally ingesting Jimson marijuana for hallucinogenic purposes. These individuals present to the emergency department with physical indications of atropine intoxication, mental problems, and hallucinations. A positive history, if available, and detection of anticholinergic symptoms are required for diagnosis. It is crucial to distinguish between lysergic acid diethylamide consumption and schizophrenia. Both central and peripheral signs of Jimson weed intoxication can be reversed by physostigmine, an anticholinergic drug. Ingestion of *Datura stramonium* is fairly common and can lead to intoxication and to anticholinergic manifestations that are potentially dangerous (**Figure 1**).
