I think that was Free Descendant’s point. If he/she had to rake up weeds to eat because it got that bad here, he/she wanted to end it all by eating oleander.

Oleander bushes grow in abundance in the coastal resorts of south Texas.
Several have died from using the branches to spear frankfurters to roast over a camp fire.
