I used to work at Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh as a chemist. They
were working on toxins and I remember a lecture on pokeweed
alkaloids. I would be very reluctant to eat it as the long term
effects of many obscure alkaloids are unclear but they are poisons.
Eat garden vegetables instead. Finally prodded my memory.
