Henbane is one of many belladonna type compounds that mostly make people 
sleep and have vivid dreams of flying, copulating with animals, becoming 
animals etc etc. And leaves the eyes painful if exposed to sunlight.

I was brought up to believe that you should never give offence if you 
can avoid it; the new culture tells us you should always take offence if 
you can. There are now experts in the art of taking offence, indeed 
whole academic subjects, such as 'gender studies', devoted to it.
