Ever heard of Jimsom weed?

Question

There is a plant that grows where I live called Jimsom weed. I was told it you eat it it is like taking acid. I tried it and it was nothing like acid I could not tell anyone how messed up I was to take me to the hospital. I hallucinated for three days and I could tell I was poisoned. I heard music and people calling my name 24/7 and even tripped in my sleep. My eyes dialated solid black for 6days, and I hear that this plant is made of strychnine, and atropine. Can my body ever recover from this? I am ok now, but it really messed me up and I feel it may have damaged me for good. any help?
