Coniine is a lethal neurotoxin having a chemical structure similar to nicotine
There are several poisonous alkaloids in poison Hemlock, Conium maculatum. These are neurotoxins, and act on the nervous system and paralyze the heart and lungs. All parts of the plant are poisonous. This is a dangerous plant.
After being convicted of corrupting the youth of Athens, Socrates was given the option of exile and leaving Athens forever, or drinking a brew of hemlock -- a plant containing a highly effective stimulant neurotoxin. Upon choosing the poison, his explanation was, "It is not that I love life less, but that I love Athens more."

It was hemlock. :)
Hemlock
Conium maculatum (Hemlock or Poison Hemlock), is native to Europe and North America.
Ancient Romans and Greeks used poison hemlock to poison their arrows.
To accurately identify a poison hemlock leaf, look for a fern-like appearance with small white flowers clustered in an umbrella shape. The leaves are finely divided and have a musty odor when crushed. Be cautious as poison hemlock is toxic if ingested.
The difference is in the toxic chemical produced and therefore have different EFFECTS on humansWater Hemlock produces toxin called, cicutoxin which causes seizures in humansandPoison Hemlock produces conicaine and coniine, which stimulates the central nervous system (nicotinic receptor, producing ongoing action potentials) eventually leading to paralysis and laer on depression
yes,there is a weed have poison some examples are death camas,poison hemlock
put hot sauce ion it
Hemlock was the poison used to kill Socrates. He got colder and colder and then he fell over dead.
The poison used to kill Socrates was called hemlock. It is a poisonous plant that causes respiratory failure and ultimately leads to death. Socrates was sentenced to consume a cup of hemlock as a method of execution in ancient Athens.
The Greek philosopher Socrates is famously known to have been sentenced to death by drinking a cup of hemlock poison in 399 BC. He was accused of corrupting the young minds of Athens and impiety towards the city's gods.
This was Socrates who was forced to take hemlock, a deadly poison.
