I am here in Mass.
I have a weed that is very prevalent around my house.
It is green leafed with clusters of green berries about pea sized
It is vine like, as it will grow up onto a tree for 30 feet or more.
At several points it puts out thin feelers that are curved at the extreme ends.
I don't know if it is classified as a vine or a bush, but it is also a tenacious grower and looking to spread our.
It will grow in the middle of other weeds and overwhelm them.
What is this weed? - Tom

Welcome to my world of Poke Berry weed, I'd guess. Welcome to the club!!! (Phytolacca americana). I guess it's officially "Pokeberry".
When they mature, they will go purple (left) but start out green (right). Poisonouse to humans and animals, in sufficient amount.

My first guess is Virginia Creeper. I had some that grew up the side of my barn. It turns a lovely shade of red in the fall, with blue berries, which start out green, kind of in clusters.
Parthenocissus quinquefolia, related to wild grape.
