Aggressive, flowering, fruiting, poisonous, prickly perennials are what horsenettles are.
Specifically, the plant in question (Solanum carolinense) has blue-, purple- or white-colored, five-petaled, yellow-centered flowers. Its has tomato-like, wrinkled, yellow-colored fruits. It has stems which quickly attain mature heights of 3 feet (1 meter). It pursues two super-aggressive reproductive paths: prolific seed-making and spreading underground rhizomes.
All parts of the plant nevertheless are best avoided. The stems harbor spines, which cause considerable discomfort and pain and which challenge extraction from human skin. Stems and all other parts of the plant -- including flowers and fruits -- have as super-effective defense mechanisms the toxic alkaloid solanine.

The plant survives several growing seasons while ensuring future generations through prolific seed-producing and underground rhizome-spreading.
How many grams is a pound of weed?
When we first saw this question, we felt instant panic, knowing that any comprehensive answer must take us all day to research and write. The question is so unspecific ... there's no way to tell whether it's asking about black medic, pineappleweed, chickweed, puncturevine, buttercup, poison ivy, common ragweed, purslane, buckhorn plantain, canada thistle, spurge, henbit, prickly sida, red sorrel, milkweed, chicory, copperleaf, velvetleaf, lambsquarters, dandelion, nightshade, horsenettle ... or something else entirely. But then we came to our senses, and we realized that there's nothing at all to fear. On Earth, 28.35 grams of mass weighs a ounce, regardless of what substance that mass comprises.
