Yes, plants have spent a very long time developing millions of toxins to stop insects and animals and bacteria, fungi and anything else from eating them. It's not surprising that they have produced neurotoxins too. Befuddling animals which then get eaten by tigers is a good strategy for self-defence. Some more intelligent primates would figure out for themselves that neurotoxins are best not ingested.
