Those are cannabis plants, not tomatoes. Although botanically speaking cannabis and tomatoes are basically cousins, and have very similar growth requirements. So if you “accidentally” planted cannabis and fed it thinking you planted tomatoes then it would do quite well.
This is from wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt, but you’d have to ingest over half a kilogram to get toxic and not lethal doses so as long as you smoke the tomato leaves in moderation, test away!
Yeah it’s not super well researched, but ingestion and inhalation dosages can be extremely different. Hence you’d likely be the subject of a case study as it would be a significant addition to the medical literature on tomatine toxicity in humans.
While the Joke is that that’s definitely not a tomato plant…
Apparently tomato’s can do something like this if you fertilize with the wrong formula (I.e. high nitrogen).
Tried growing some tomatoes myself for the first time this year… gave em the same fertilizer I was giving everything else, and they exploded with green growth into a giant bush, but never produced a single tomato. A few flowers would bloom, it’d get some small green ones, then they’d just fall right off the bush a day latter.
Whats the joke?

…so ppl gotta try smoking tomatoes?
I think they contain some nicotine, no?
They contain the mildly to moderately toxic alkaloid tomatine lol, you’re gonna become a medical case study if you smoke the leaves.

That’s tomacco.
eggplant does. they’re cousins of tobacco.
actually, you can cure and boil eggplant foliage to brew a nicotine based pest spray.
though, you’re better off using tobacco instead.
