Do plants absorb toxins from the soil?

Yes I know, but pesticides enter into the plants because of phloem
allows some of them (some active matters) to move through its vessels
(to be selectively translocated through its vessels), others cannot be
translocateed and stop on the plant surface and/or in the parenchymatic
cells beside it.
I need to know if (every, or some) plant phloem allows Nerium oleander
toxin to be translocated through its vessels as easily as some
pesticides, so that this toxin could be stored in its edible tissues and
damage our health.
Thanks, bye,
