no but i wouldn't eat it
The skin is not poisonous, and in fact contains valuable antioxidants. However, it is considered inedible because it is bitter. The white pith is likewise nontoxic, and many people eat it along with the seeds.

∙ 13y agoScientific data about pomegranate toxicity is scarce on the web. Pomegranates contain tannins, which can cause health issues in large amounts (but one would have to consume a ridiculous number of pomegranates to reach those amounts).
Apparently pomegranate tannins don't bother rats, even in high doses: Cerdá B, Cerón JJ, Tomás-Barberán FA, Espín JC (May 2003). "Repeated oral administration of high doses of the pomegranate ellagitannin punicalagin to rats for 37 days is not toxic". J. Agric. Food Chem. 51 (11): 3493-501. doi:10.1021/jf020842c. PMID 12744688

∙ 11y agoI leant against a pomegranate tree in Turkey; felt an instant very painful sting, saw a small thorn & pulled it out immediately. My arm remained extremely painful for about 10 minutes, then became itchy. Next day was swollen & very itchy. This lasted for 5 days then subsided.
