The Avocado skin does contain a small amount of toxins however it's not enough to actually poison you if you eat the skin in small amounts.

As long as the Avocados are ripe then you can safely eat the skin of an Avocado without being poisoned or harmed.

I've eaten the skin of Avocados lots of times and I've never been harmed in doing so.

In Large amounts the Skin of Avocados can cause harm but small amounts of Avocado Skin are safe to eat.

I've also eaten Avocado skin without any problems.
