I do. They were here when I moved in and are common in the area. Animals, including my pets, aren't interested in them and they aren't a problem if you don't eat them. Since I learned what they are I do wash my hands after handling them out of an abundance of caution but I'm not getting rid of them because they grow well and look awesome.

    Yeah this, I'm sure Epstein raped and drugged tons of minors but I don't think he needed to grow datura to do that. It's just a somewhat common plant to have. There are loads of better daterape drugs, especially for someone who is wealthy enough to own their own rape-island.

    Even the legendary Terence McKenna didn't use datura. He did try it a bunch, but apparently found little to no use for it.

    Unfortunately some animals learn to avoid it from trying it. But I'm sure, like a lot of poisonous plants, it's probably pretty bitter for most animals.

    My buddy had chickens and a peacock running around and birds will sometimes eat a lot of random stuff.

    They sure are very pretty flowers and seem to grow easy.

    Just too bad they are so dangerous.
