Datura L. and Brugmansia Pers. are two genera of the Solanaceae family, both known by the name Angel's Trumpet. Solanaceae family is well-known for its economic, ornamental, and medicinal plants that contain tropane alkaloids, and species of these two genera have been used since ancient times for their various activities. They also have illicit usage due to their hallucinogenic and euphoric effects, especially in young people. These plants are toxic due to atropine and scopolamine alkaloids that they contain in addition to accidental poisonings that are seen with the usage of members of these two genera. They are also involved in many hospitalizations and criminal cases such as rapes and robberies.
