**Datura wrightii is a shrub-like tree of the nightshade family (Solanaceae) that bears large, white or coloured trumpet‑shaped flowers.** **Its extracts contain tropane alkaloids such as hyoscine, hyoscyamine and scopolamine, and the plant has traditionally been used for antispasmodic, analgesic, anti‑inflammatory and sedative purposes.** **Because of its high alkaloid content, Datura wrightii is highly toxic; improper use can cause severe poisoning, hallucinations, respiratory distress, and even death, so it should never be taken without professional supervision.**
