Heavinscent,
I could be wrong but,jimsome weed is toxic but only if you eat it, make a tea from it or try to smoke it like some silly kids were doing...it is not any more toxic than foxgloves, dumbcane,oleanders or several of our other gardening plants.

I think it got a bad rap form indiscriminating grazing animals that eat everything... it makes them hallucinate and act pretty crazy so a lot of the farmers & ranchers exterminate it from their land here in Texas.
You do need to watch small children & of course you pets. I have it & I make sure to rake up leaves etc from the yard where the dogs are. Kinda the same routine with the Angel Trumpets /Brugs.

Here's a pic of my rose bush...

Enjoy
