Nah. They just get stoned and fall asleep.

Hope they don't wake up with the munchies

That's not a very nice way to talk about your little brother like that.

Heart medications are made from them so it's not all bad, but don't sniff them.

People freak out when you point out their yew bush is super poisonous.
Like, I'm the bad guy for knowing that it only takes like 50 grams of leaves to kill a person and their is no antidote.

Wouldn't do it because it could be deadly due to the ricin in it.
