Hemlock - Conium maculatum, member of the parsley family, used to kill Socrates
Henbane - Hyoscyamus niger
Aconite - Aconitum napellus, commonly "monkshood"
Belladonna - Atropa belladonna, commonly deadly nightshade
Opium - distilled from the juice of the poppy
Thornapple - Datura stramonium, commonly Jimson weed
Cinquefoil - Potentilla reptans
Mandragora - Atropa mandragora, commonly mandrake
Most of the above are HUGELY poisonous, and should not be fooled with. They are commonly regarded to be ingredients in so-called flying ointment used by witches. Applied topically in a grease base, the chemicals in the herbs would induce a hallucinogenic effect. I hope modern witches know better than to mess with this stuff and stick to pot.
