Jimson weed is another name for Loco-weed.  Probably not a good idea to feed :-)  We had some neighbors a long time ago whose youngest used to ingest loco-weed, it would take 6 cops to wrestle him into a car.

A somewhat related, but useless (for me) piece of trivia -
Poinsettas are a genetically manipulated form of Jimson weed (they are
trisomic - instead of 2 sets of chromosomes, they have 3 sets)

Well, I thought she meant Jimson (sp?) Weed, I remember being told it could have interesting effects on people (I don't know the validity of that, though...)..Now I, wonder about it testing in horses, even if it wasn't the weed she meant-anyone?
