Jimsonweed is a hallucination inducing plant that was first documented by a Virginian colonist named Robert Beverly.[88] Robert Beverley reported, in his 1705 book on the history of Virginia, that some soldiers who had been dispatched to Jamestown to quell Bacon's Rebellion gathered and ate leaves of Datura stramonium and spent eleven days acting in bizarre and foolish ways before recovering.[89] After recovery from the plant the soldiers claimed to not remember anything from the past 11 days.[88] This led to the plant being known as Jamestown weed, and later jimsonweed.
