I live in the southwest so we have Jimson weed a supposed hallucinogen the native Indians used for vision quests, although the lethal dose & the effective dose is supposedly pretty close, so you will have tweakers OD on the stuff pretty often.

Caster bean is also pretty common and I see that along side roads all the time. When the beans of that plant are crushed they form ricin, a deadly toxin common in used for assassinations, historically in eastern Europe.

Poison oak is also pretty common. It is pretty easy to identify by its three touching leaves. Some forests are infested with the stuff and the leaves will cause a rash when contacted with, so you can come out of these forests with a full body rash if you are not wearing long sleeves or pants. Every once in awhile you will hear some moron brew it in a tea and I can't imagine that is very pleasant, probably close the throat without medical attention.
