Is this Mint? and is it safe?

Hello All,

I just came across a couple sidewalk volunteers that I believe might be a mint, but I want to be sure if I take it home for culinary cultivation that I'm going to be safe...

It has square stems that I associate with the mint family, and when crushed the leaves smell strongly of lemon (almost like lemon pine sol). Right now they are only four inches tall or so. I can get photos this evening, but I'm curious if there's any chance this is a dangerous plant?

Is there anything with a square stem one should not consume?
