Jimson Weed

My husband noticed this pretty weed growing in the clover on the now-neglected farm along our road. There are dozens of them with their pretty flowers. 
Today, I put on my boots and waded out into the field to capture a blip. The weed has such an interesting blossom. I had my ultrawide lens with me and was able to get very close for my photo.
It was a huge surprise and worry when I turned to iNaturalist to ID the plant and found out that it is Jimson Weed, a highly poisonous plant that is also a hallucinogenic and is illegal to possess in Maryland. Yikes!
The extra is of the Jimson in the field.
