I found several of these weeds in the yard. The leaves smell minty/chamomile-y when crushed. I live in New Jersey. Anyone know what it is? (Pic below)

While on the subject, does anyone make homemade dandelion salad or anything of that sort? (ie pick weeds in the yard and eat/cook then eat them)

(This thread is not about C. Sativa)

I've had dandelion salad before, and nettle soup; both homemade.

If you know what to look for, what's safe and what's not, you can get a huge amount of food from your backyard/countryside.
