meaning
How does the conditional（れば） + 一緒 structure work?
This is not a special grammar pattern. This 一緒 means "the same" or "makes no
difference" rather than "together". See the third definition
[here](https://jisho.org/word/%E4%B8%80%E7%B7%92).

> 口に入れれば一緒だと思うんだけどな  
>  Well, I think that (=eating something raw) makes no difference if/once it
> has been put into the mouth.
