Ricin
The protein ricin (pronounced [ˈraɪsɪn]) is a toxin from the castor bean (Ricinus communis). Ricin can be extracted from castor beans and is known to have an average lethal dose in humans of 0.2 milligrams (1/5,000th of a gram), though some sources give higher figures.[1] It is considered to be twice as deadly as cobra venom. The 2007 Guinness World Records Book considers ricin the world's most potent plant toxin.

but NOT rat poison (coumadin) which is actually used in milligram doses as a therapeutic agent for blood thinning.
