Eating it is ok, just don't accidentally boil up the leaves. Especially the roots and flowers.
Have you ever heard of a writer called carlos castaneda. Wrote a series of books about a his experiences under the tutelage of a Yaqui shaman named don Juan Matus whom he met in 1960.
Supposedly a true story, he gives details on preparations of plants for releasing the spirit.
See, my tour guide just told me avoid it all together, so I don't know in which context it is truly dangerous, which was probably wise anyway, given tourists' need to touch stuff. Either way, if I wanted to worship, I'd choose a less dangerous way to reach god or just get a good trip.
