Dr. Max DeBryn:
Pending toxicological results, I consulted a colleague from the Botanic Gardens. He identified the leaves in the teapot as having come from Datura stramonium.
DC Endeavour Morse:
Datura?
Dr. Max DeBryn:
[taking out a large book and opening it] A weed. Also known as the Thorn Apple or Devil's Snare.
DI Fred Thursday:
Poisonous?
Dr. Max DeBryn:
Oh highly toxic. The seed pods in particular. I took the liberty... [Dr. DeBryn turns the book around and shows Morse and Thursday a picture of the Datura] Been used for centuries by the Indians and Chinese as a treatment for Asthma. But the line between a medicinal and a lethal dose is very thin indeed. Contains atropine and scopolamine.
DI Fred Thursday:
The "truth" drug?
Dr. Max DeBryn:
That's right. Taken in an overdose, symptoms include severe hallucinations, seizures, all leading step by jolly step to blindness, coma and an eventual "how do you do" from St. Peter. If one goes in for that sort of thing.
