Man arrested for dishing out 'witch's brew'

Spanish authorities jailed a Danish man who cruised the streets of Valencia, handing out a “witch’s brew” of jimson weed – a poisonous, hallucinogenic plant – to strangers, Spanish media said today.

Those who gulped down the brew experienced hallucinations, accelerated heart beat and other health problems, and five ended up being hospitalised, the news agency Efe reported.
