OpenDeadly
Deadly nightshade
Atropa belladonna
Shiny black cherries on a dull purple bell — atropine in botanical form. Not a home medicine.

In favor
Teaches the tropane toxidrome alongside datura
Against
Child-attractive fruit
Days to harvest
Fruit in year 2 as a poison-garden show — never as a drug
