So, my neighbors moved out an had a tomato plant and this guy on their front porch and told me I could have them...but they never told me what this one was... I thought maybe it was a Datura but I am not really familiar with those.... Any help would be great!!!

Datura it is. It is good to have around. It contains atropine sulfate, I use a very small amount of the dried leafs to dry up a cold, It must be not be grown where horses can eat it. Rabbits seem not to have a problem eating it, tomato bug also.
