A LOT of them, so if they were poisonous we would have figured that out pretty quickly...

The trandescantia (widow's tears) is a pretty tough plant. Good luck trying to yank those out, LOL... when i first moved here i tried to get rid of some... they merely mocked me. I have long since given up since I decided I like the way they open in the morning and close up at dusk.
The trandescantia is trying to take over the back yard.
When we where little we would stop when visiting relatives and friends when they where growing and pick them- Mom made them into cobbler's.
