Real life equivalent to narcoberries

[Terror Birdist]

I know no plant does what narcos do but I was wondering if there was a plant that has berries closely resembling narcoberries. This plant should preferably not be poisonous, the intention IS NOT to eat it, Im making a garden out of plants that featured in my library.

Plants with sedative effects. (Stupid auto correct)

Empetrum nigrum or Crowberry as we call them here.
Not a great tasting berry but edible......not poisonous.

Atropa belladonna

edit: oh wait, should have read the whole thing, you're looking for Vaccinium myrtillus

Narcoberries are fine to eat, if you also eat stimberries with them.

And if you're getting upset about something that acts as a sedative (Plenty of plantlife have that effect, no on larger animals like us, but still) Than what plant acts as a dehydrator and/or high stimulant?

And not just a sugar pill, Stimberries effectively make everything more energetic.

Is that close enough?

Jaboticaba - Plinia cauliflora

Its not poisonous and it tastes good. You can also find a small plant of it for gardens and stuff.

If just for show- American Pokeweed- it grows wild all over the eastern United States but does have a bit of toxicity to be concerned about.

This looks close. For eating Blackcurrents aren't too far off, but have a different bottom. I always thought the icon was just recoloured blueberries.

Sloe berries, the fruit of the Blackthorn bush look a lot like Narcoberries. They're not nice to eat, but you could use them to make Sloe Gin and that certainly has an effect ;-)

are you going to have a Stego or Trike harvesting them!

You totally need to put large garden trikes and stegos in the garder for the "harvest berries" look to it. Would be hilarious

[Terror Birdist]

Love the stego idea and I was not expecting to get this many comments.

Black Currants. Good for you too :)

Another alternative might be sweet black soybeans: https://www.google.com/search?rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-US%3AIE-Address&biw=1400&bih=766&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=NJjqWurNFIHB0gTRupToDQ&q=black+soybeans&oq=black+soybeans&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l4j0i24k1l6.12506.15217.0.15378.14.10.0.4.4.0.142.1079.5j5.10.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.14.1212...0i67k1.0.OYPIVIPlbW0
