I've researched foxglove and everywhere I read says how deadly it is. But when I took it nothing happened. Any ideas?

Hmm... Mind elaborating what exactly you did? Someone knowledgeable with these might have more to grasp to respond.

Not an expert, but could depend on many factors. Amount? Dried or fresh? Seeds, leaves, or flowers?
"It's estimated that ingestion of 100 – 120 grams (3-4 ounces) fresh leaves results in clinical signs and death in horses"
"Foxglove contains a cardiac glycoside called digitoxin which is commonly used as a carefully controlled heart medication for humans and horses.
In effect, a large dose of digitoxin increases the strength of the heart contraction but slows conduction between the top and bottom part of the heart. Therefore this leads to an irregular heartbeat and if the dose is enough, cardia arrest."
I couldn't find much information on humans, but here's a case study: INTOXICATION BY DIGITALIS PURPUREA IN SUICIDAL INTENTION – A CASE REPORTsame thing happened to me with poison hemlock, English yew and another one I can't remember. I ate huge quantities and nothing happned. Well above what was researched and accepted to be a lethal dose. They all tasted horrible and gave me migraines. Loads of factors come into play. Some people have greater tolerances and natural immunity to poison than others. This depends on your genetics. Like for me no matter how much alcohol I drink I will not and have never gotten a hangover. The seasons of the plant can effect the concentration of toxins due to the availability of nutrients and sunlight in the environment. Im not an expert but a lot people have had failed ctb this way. You are not likely to succeed with this method. Even though you might be okay you're liver might of taken one for the team. So thank you're liver for you're failed ctb. You would have to ask someone who is an expert in biochemistry, loads of things could have went wrong or right depending on what you wanted to happen.Similar threads
