Actually, I have no experience but I just got one at a horticultural society event. For positive comments, try Plant Delights Nursery.
For dire warnings, go to Wikipedia.

This plant is bad news. Its toxic, it stinks, its invasive & it is ugly. Birds spread them. Here it is considered a weed & I would suggest the same attitude to anyone else. I just killed a monster one & they don't die easy. The tap root is deep & will come back from poisoning & pruning. You need to dig it out & get rid of every scrap or it will return.
