[IBU] Wild Rosemary

[Benjamin Jayne]

I am a botanist (not a very good one but hey...) and I can tell you they are 
not the same.
Culinary rosemary belongs in the genus Rosmarinus while wild rosemary genus 
is Rhododendron.  these two are related, however distantly so.  be careful 
about how much you use if you find the latter, most Rhododendron species are 
mildly poisonous.  of course, psilocybin is a "poison" to huh?
