Barium is not poisonous in the form of its sulfate. That's because barium sulfate is insoluble in water. Unless a barium compound dissolves with the subsequent release of barium ions, it is not going to be highly toxic.

Why barium sulfate not toxic if barium ions are?
My guess is that barium sulfate is not toxic because it hardly dissolves at all in water and therefore doesnt easily access the bloodstream. (Ksp value: 1.1*10-10) On the other hand, a lot of barium ions can be present in an aquous solution and they can easily access the bloodstream if they enter the body.
