No, goldenrod is not commonly used. The method used for making rubber from goldenrod was invented by Thomas Alva Edison. It was an effort to make rubber domestically (United States) so we wouldn't have to import it from foreign countries. Now that we can easily import products from foreign countries, 72% of all the natural rubber production comes from Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Most rubber today is synthetic, made from inorganic material. Goldenrod is no longer commonly used to make rubber because of global trade and advancements in science.
