Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

They don't specify the route of administration, so none of these numbers are worth anything.
I was going to say I smoke/eat more than 1200mg of THC a day and I'm not dead yet (yes I have a problem and yes it's expensive).
This is per kilogram of your mass. So if your weight is 80kg then the lethal dose would be 96000mg not 1200. At least that's how I understand this.
That's correct
So that means 7.2 litres of water to kill an 80 kg human. That's a lot of water to down in one short sitting.
Not easy to do. Fortunately.
Back in college, there was this thing called the "4, 4, 40 challenge" where one would have to drink 4 liters of water, in 4 minutes and hold it down for 40 secs. Lots of vomiting would ensue.
well, not exactly. since this is the LD50, drinking 7.2 liters of water would kill about half of the population that try. the other half would survive
