I have a Ninja PC in my group that's using poisoned shuriken. After a combat in which she missed with all poisoned shuriken thrown she asked if the shuriken she retrieved (and there were some) still had poison on them? I'm not sure. I did some searching and found lots of rules about applying poison and adjudicating poisons but not much about retrieving poisoned ammo. I guess this question could apply to poisoned arrows and thrown weapons as well?
Thanks,
Kizan

Just off the top of my head, I'd say it still has the poison on it. Since shuriken is treated as ammo for what happens to them after they're thrown, there is a 50/50 chance it's lost or destroyed anyway.
