just found this and thought I would ask you guys.
the Angel Trumpet (or Thorn Apple) Brugmansia is a beautiful ornamental plant, but is gradually being banned in the US as a result of teenagers getting high, and small children getting dead from ingesting the leaves.
came from this site:

Is this true?
flowox, I would get rid of that link, the person's website this is has a strange sense of humor.
I have heard of one town in Florida that has a ban on them .. It interested me enough to read the law.. after reading it I would proudly plant them and dare that city to do something as the loopholes were huge! This topic has come up over the years again and again .. If anyone is dumb enough to eat my Brugmansia it is my opinion they have trespassed onto my property and have committed more than one crime .

I agree John,Also I believe they are talking about Datura,which is commonly called Jimsonweed.
I have to agree with you too John, I just never heard of such a thing at all and when looking for different varieties of Brugs, I came across that site.
I'm not alarmed about it, was just curious :)
