The leaves should not be eaten but the stalks are edible, if you eat too much raw rhubarb stalk you will get a stomach ache. Best to cook it first, tastes much better cooked too.

No it is not poisonous when you eat it raw although it doesn't taste nice at all that way. The leaves are poisonous, though, and you should never eat them.
