Correction and clarification- found the source- 1676, the brittish troops were sent to jamestown to suppress a rebelion- apparently they ran short of rations and cooked some of the weeds- and tripped for around 11 days, ran around naked, and generaly remained harmless to the rebels, who were later beaten by other brits- ever after it the weed was called Jimsonweed
