Lots of plants have very potent toxins in them...TBH, I wouldn't take the
risk unless you are *positive* that what you are getting is the actual plant
you are looking for - many 'similar' looking plants are in fact deadly!

Which are you thinking of? I'd always thought of the Cruciferae as one
of the less hazardous families - though I'd not recommend the OP to
experiment as I'm not 100% sure on this point.
