Mexico and tropical South America (Weber 2003), however the exact native range is unknown (GRIN 2001).; Data Source: http://plants.usda.gov, 10 August 2007 Legacy NPSpecies information may no longer be applicable, please remove if it is not applicable. In legacy NPSpecies Weedy value was Yes with comment: Fields, pastures, disturbed areas (Weakley 2007) 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.
