In this video I talk about Milkweed (Asclepias Syriaca). BE AWARE - DONT EAT A PLANT UNLESS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF ITS IDENTIFICATION AND HAVE CHECKED WITH A LOCAL EXPERT.
Not to be rude but I would advise anyone watching to NOT go and eat any kind of milkweed, misidentifying any of the milkweed plants will result in intoxication and possible death.
What we call Dogbane here is also known as Indian hemp. It is poison but it also makes good cordage :) Milkweed was once growen comercially for the down in the pods. Before closed cell foam milkweed made the best lifevest & the navy would buy from foragers.
