In legacy NPSpecies Pest value was Yes with comment: Natureserve I-Rank:High/Low: Little information is available regarding reproduction, dispersal, trends or ecological effects, although all appear to be relatively minor. Problems associated with Datura stramonium poisonings (livestock and human) compose a greater portion of the available literature. In addition, there is some confusion over the native range of the species and how it may have first gotten to the U.S.
