Datura Metel, is it safe to keep?
I recently got a Datura Metel AKA Purple Horn-of-Plenty. Someone I live with is concerned about the scoplamine content that is more present in this type of datura. They're concerned the plant is going to be troublesome and cause poisoning from even just touching it. I wanted to go on here and ask to see if anyone would have any answers to this concern. They also deal with OCD and freaked out about even near it. Please let me know if I should keep the plant or just rehome it. I personally feel perfectly safe with the plant but want to get input from other who may have experience in cultivating this plant themself.
