poison garden

Apparently there is a Duchess of Northumberland (perhaps she is related to the town of Cumberland, Ontario), and apparently she has just opened a public garden filled with drug-plants. These include cannabis, opium poppies, coca [of "cocaine" fame], poisonous foxglove, tobacco, and wild lettuce.

...Uh, wild lettuce "can be used as a tranquilizer," according to the article.

Via Boing Boing. But then, isn't everything?
