hi everyone,

i was wondering if you guys might be able to help me with this..i have a GIANT jimsonweed plant in my yard because (without knowing what it was) i let it grow..now it's 5 feet high.

upon looking up this plant, i've read that it's highly toxic and should be handled carefully...is this true or can i just whack it down?

some states require you to call the dept. of agriculture...is it really this serious? when i looked up this plant on gardenweb, it showed people growing it decoratively?

thanks for the help...
