Ethiopian Lentils

Has anyone grown Ethiopian Lentils, "Lathyrus sativus" aka Grass Pea? (Not the true lentil "Lens culinaris")
I could use some advice on when to plant & days to maturity, what sort of yield to expect, etc...
I did Google the scientific name & it sounds like thay can be a life saver because they can withstand drought, however, an over dependence of them in the diet can be toxic, but that breeders are working on creating varieties that are less toxic. Hmmmm...
The original plan was to grow some for an Ethiopian acquaintance, but now I'm not so sure!
I found them listed at Annapolis Seeds.
