Injury. Injury poison can be applied as a Bonus Action to a weapon, a piece of ammunition, or similar object. The poison remains potent until delivered through a wound or washed off. A creature that takes Piercing or Slashing damage from an object coated with the poison is exposed to its effects.
If your attack roll with this weapon misses a creature, you can deal damage to that creature equal to the ability modifier you used to make the attack roll. This damage is the same type dealt by the weapon, and the damage can be increased only by increasing the ability modifier.
So if a character has an ability modifier greater the 0 and poisons their weapon and misses, Graze means that the target probably still takes Slashing damage (Only the Greatsword and Glaive have it at the moment). This in turn triggers whatever injury poison you have on the blade.

Right?
Correct. It says "takes damage from an object", not "hit by a weapon", so it applies under any situation where the object is dealing damage, including via the Graze property.
The graze property does seem to work really well with injury poisons. I think an eldritch knight with moderate investment in the intelligence stat, nature skill proficiency/expertise, and poisoner kit proficiency can be quite reliable when trying to harvest poisons from creatures. Tactical Mind feature can be used to ensure further successful harvesting.
