Live and learn, that's what I say. Imagine my surprise when, after spending much of my childhood living in a house which had a gorgeous Wisteria climbing the telephone pole guy wire in front, I finally find out that Wisteria blossoms are not only edible, but delicious- they have a slight sweetness that compares favorably to the flavor of redbud blossoms. The rest of the plant is iffy, and the raw seeds are toxic.
Anyway, having found out that Wisteria is delicious, I decided to check out the most magnificent Wisteria I've ever seen. When the museum docent asked me what I was doing, I told her that I figured my admission price should include a taste of the flowers.
The mark on the side of my head from her shoe should fade in a couple of days...

Watch out for the docents, too!
Just eat the flowers, to be safe.

I say go for it, but I don't know if there's a psychoactive component.
Why couldn't you?
They could be fire resistant.
