Black henbane is a native plant of Europe commonly found in waste areas, pastures. It is poisonous to both animals and humans. Henbane has been used medicinally since the time of Pliny in ancient Greece, but it is not a herb to be taken for home use. Henbane's continued popularity is as a psychoactive herb, and it is found for sale on many website promoting herbs for pschodelic experiences. However, it has medical use in controlled circumstances, but I do not recommend you experiment with it.
