I don't need to know the process required to make the poison as I simply need to know the name of the poison and preferably a key ingredient for a script I am writing. The poison must be of native American origin, preferably a fast acting neurotoxin made from plants found in North America.|||Nightshade (belladona) is probably the most commonly available. Purple star-shaped flowers with yellow centers, grows like a weed most everywhere.
apple seeds contain cyanide. (though you'd need a lot of them)
There's also foxglove.
I don't know how they'd work on an arrow or dart.|||there are some strongly poisonous plants in NA.
not sure about fast acting neurotoxins.
But there is hemlock, tobacco, oleander, rhubarb, daphne, rhododendrons, yew, mistletoe, nightshade.
Probably some I can't think of just now.
This might help.

It won't necessarily kill you, but if you use an alkaloid-containing plant such as Datura, Nightshade, Hemlock, Tobacco, foxglove etc, then small amounts of the poison from these plants are known to cause violent and horrific hallucinations. I'd recommend using something other a poison from a plant from the family Solanaceae, aka the nightshade family. They aren't pleasant by any means. They will often cause a long, drawn-out and unpleasant death.
Although some plant-derived toxins are fine to use. The one i'd recommend using is Strychnine, which is used as a fast-acting neurotoxin for putting down sick animals in veterinary medicine. However, it's hard to find the plants containing Strychnine in North America, so that's out of the picture. You could try Aconite.
