Ok, here's another plant that I don't know is harmful or not, as I have no idea what it is. I brought it home as a cutting from a restaurant or something. Anyway, it's all stems, it only has a few temporary tiny leaves here and there which fall off. It has a whitish sap that makes me nervous. I really like this plant, so I hope someone knows what it is.:)

I don't think it does, the original was a huge mass if tangled stems. I've had it for almost a year now. And it's not a succulent I don't think.
 
That is called a "Pencil Cactus". It is of the Euphorbia genus. Cousin to poinsettia. It is very poisonous. If you get the white sap in your eye, it could make you blind. The flowers are very tiny. Look it up, "Euphorbia truncallii". Some people are very sensitive to the sap, and break out in a rash, if on their skin.
 
Good lord! It's history! Thanks billsbirds! :)
