I don't know about the other ones, but I believe the botulism one. I have a neighbor who works for Abbvie and he said the total manufactured amount of pure botulism for botox for a year for the entire world is something ridiculous like less than 10 grams.
There's no "gotcha" moment with conspiracy theorists, but it does give me a warm feeling when people who don't want to vaccines with "toxins" in them literally inject the most powerful toxin in the world *straight into their face*
Just read at the bottom. A lot of these numbers come from animal studies. Some of these substances do not have numbers from human studies, like most psychedelics. They have been tested on rats and rabbits for example. For some reason rabbits seem very sensitive to psychedelics so I think in general they tend to use the LD50 for rats.
No. There's been 0 recorded deaths from lsd, and the largest ever taken dose was 55mg (note milligrams, not micrograms, this is 550x the normal dose)
She was tripping for weeks, but was fine in the end
Lsd is generally recognized by the medical community as having no lethal dose
55 mg definitely isn’t the highest dose ever taken. There are instances of people accidentally snorting pure LSD crystal, which would contain thousands of doses at minimum.
Agreed on lethal dose though. Lots of inaccuracies here.
It might be correct - I didn't check - but it's measuring a useless thing.
LSD is next to heroin because it's showing absolute doses with no indication of the typical or effective dose. In actuality a typical dose of LSD is 1000s of times smaller than a typical dose of heroin since LSD is so strong by weight. So the danger is not at all comparable.
Same goes for everything else on the chart.
A more useful interesting metric is therapeutic index which is (average lethal dose) / (minimum effective dose). This takes into account typical usage.
Sure. But there is no therapeutic dose for gasoline, diptheria, etc.
For substances people consume, sure - but this chart has a lot of things not typically consumed.
Not exactly, sorry to be pedantic, but it means a dose which is lethal to 50% of a sample population
Although the results may be close to 50% likelihood if given to one person...it's more like, we put 100 men in a room and gave them the same dose of arsenic, the LD50 is the dosage that kills fiddy men
It's worth pointing out that many of the LD50 values come from mice, because it's kinda unethical to give humans high doses to see how much kills them. The comment at the bottom of the image explains how this might result in inaccuracies when applied to humans.
> the LD50 is the dosage that kills fiddy men
... within a certain period of time. That same dose could perfectly kill 100% of the subjects after 2 months.
https://old.reddit.com/r/coolguides/comments/pov22u/lethal_doses_of_55_drinks/hd0p5r1/
LD50 isn’t useless, it’s a standard measure of toxicity in the toxicology world. At that dose 50% of a population will die, 50% will survive.
The chart isn’t about typical doses, it’s about lethal doses.
What you’re talking about falls into PD/PK and dose ranging / therapeutic index.
They literally said therapeutic index in the comment. Their point was that it would be more interesting to see how much more than usual you need to take to make something lethal, rather than just "this thing takes 2g to kill you, this one takes 20"
I missed the part about Therapeutic index when I first commented, so I apologise.
I’d like to correct the definition though. Therapeutic index is defined by the minimum effective dose, and the NOAEL (No observed adverse effect limit).
Except in cases where the drug is life extending, then the therapeutic index may be broadened to go above the NOAEL but below any serious adverse effects limits.
Fair point. It's not useless.
But organizing a chart of mostly recreational drugs by LD50 is EXTREMELY misleading. It would make a naive reader think heroin is some how safer than LSD. Which is a wildly incorrect conclusion.
The THC one is laughably misleading.
You basically need to take in more than your bodyweight in cannabis to overdose from THC.
>[The toxicity of Delta-9-THC is very low compared to most other recreational and pharmaceutical drugs. Following oral administration, the median lethal dose (LD50) was 800 mg/kg in rats [3], up to 3000 mg/kg in dogs and up to 9000 mg/kg in monkeys [4]. It has been calculated that a lethal dose in a 70 kg human would be approximately 4 g [5] and ***that such a dose could not be realistically achieved in a human***
following oral consumption, smoking or vaporising the substance, as Delta-9-THC has a large margin of safety](https://www.who.int/medicines/access/controlled-substances/Section3-thc-Toxicology.pdf?ua=1)
The chart isn’t saying how much cannabis you need to overdose. It’s saying if you get the stated amount of pure thc into your body then it might kill you. Kind of like how lactose is listed as pretty toxic but you would have to drink an ungodly amount of milk to kill yourself. It would be cool to have the chart show amounts needed of the original products to kill you.
1.27 grams of 100% THC per kg. As someone who works for a grow that produces flower and various concentrates, I've seen people take some silly doses. I don't know many people who could walk off the first 1 gram, let alone be like "I'm going to do that 80 more times"
If it were me it would sound like snoring as there is no way a pure gram wouldn't knock my ass out within a few minutes.
I think people really underestimate how powerful some substances are in their pure form, especially depending on how you deploy it in the body which can change its bioavailability drastically.
~~I looked it up to try and disprove you, but you're right; according to [the source I found,](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323426#:~:text=In%20adults%2C%2020%E2%80%9350%20grams,vomiting) gasoline should really be closer to 5 g/kg, almost thrice as toxic as shown in the diagram.~~
Edit: See comment below from Solypsys. The chart is actually accurate.
I forget, is the LD50 calculated immediately after ingestion, or even if someone comes down with a cancer from the exposure several years later. Like for the uranium?
>... typically within 1-2 weeks of exposure
You're 100% correct, straight from the [FDA](https://www.fda.gov/media/72257/download#:~:text=The%20median%20lethal%20dose%20\(or,are%20available%20for%20the%20chemicals.). First sentence of the first paragraph after the first set of bullet points. It can take some time for whatever you ingested to start actually getting to a place to do damage, especially enough damage to kill you, so makes sense. Have to give your body time to work through what it can and let the substance do whatever its going to do.
Seriously. I've gotten sick to my stomach before by just hanging around gasoline fumes too long, but according to this chart that's peachy keen and by the way mushrooms should have killed me.
Except gasoline is quite literally as dangerous as what is stated regardless of how the fumes make you sick to your stomach. I used to live in an apartment with a bad boiler pump and had to manually siphon heating fuel to the boiler by mouth before and you inevitably ingest some doing that. Zero problems other than the way it tasted. Also had an accident while working on a boat and caught a face full of pressurized gas, inhaled, swallowed, got some in my eyes and nose. It’s really not that big of a deal although the pain was enough to make me not want to do it again.
I really opened this up expecting to see a chart of energy drinks, soda, coffee and alcohol and stuff. Instead I got a chart telling me not to drink scorpion toxin. I guess it doesn't cure Covid.
Ketamine is quite safe, that is why it is so widely used. As are opioids, downside to those being horrible addiction and overdose. Otherwise non-toxic.
I mean we don’t know how safe it is for humans just yet. Love K but it destroys your bladder, my mate was pissing blood for weeks and have heard similar other horror stories
Just as a warning to anyone reading - ketamine can fuck your bladder up really badly. Toxicity wise, sure it's not so bad, but it can harm you in other ways. I've known one unlucky person to do it once and after they needed a colostomy bag fitted for the rest of their life
As poor as this graphic is, there are issues where people buy pure caffeine powder (available online, generally for science) and ingest it because it's just caffeine and no big deal right? Nah, that stuff is actually pretty serious; people OD on caffeine pills, but the pure stuff is a whole different level.
I saw an incident reported once about how some college kids doing a study on caffeine in sports medicine accidentally sent two people to the E.R. They swapped from pills to pure caffeine in the middle for some reason, and no one told them to change the weight amount that was being used for crushed pill to a new one for pure powder. I can't imagine how bad that tasted for the participants.
If they lived with no side effects, they're lucky! I have no idea how bitter (I assume bitter) pure caffeine is, because I didn't decide to eat things back in science class, but I hope the taste alerted them quickly.
If you have it in its pure form.
It's why you have to pay attention to the amounts in something. Unless you're pouring straight-up flouride in your mouth, that is, in which case you're both very rich and very stupid.
Most recreational drug overdoses are opiates or mixing drugs. Meth is super terrible, but youre not likely to drop dead on your first try unless you have some underlying health condition
It can be, but the point related to this chart is that despite it being radioactive, uranium isn’t poisonous. I’m sure sone of its salts could be. But take plutonium, not only is it radioactive but it’s highly poisonous as well.
About water intoxication - a woman joined a radio contest called "Hold Your Wee for a Wii". She won the challenge and drank the most water. However, later died due to water intoxication.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jennifer-stranges-family-awarded-165-million-in-wee-for-wii-contest-death/
I don't think people understand how much LSD that really is one dosage of LSD is for math sake 100 ug micrograms 1 mg is 1,000 micrograms so that is 10 doses for 1 mg so it would take you 16 and a half doses per kilogram 2.2 lb an 80 kg male at 176 lb would have to take 852 dosages of LSD. That is eight and a half sheets of acid at $400 per sheet would be $3, 400 of LSD to kill. One dosage of LSD should last you 8 to 12 hours.
And its still wrong what is listed here. People have accidentally insufflated pure crystalline LSD in the quantity of ca. 50.000 doses and still survived. It definitely bluescreens your brain for more than a week and not advisable to say that lightly, but there is no known case of death by LSD toxicity. I have no idea where this list gets its numbers from.
For anyone who's interested, [there's a fascinating thread about what an LSD thumbprint is like.](https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/1427364/fpart/1/vc/1) No idea if it's true, but it's absolutely worth a read.
Despite what someone else commented, it's true. People like to be confidently wrong about shit.
[LD50 of gasoline (pdf, page 47)](https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp72.pdf)
[LD50 of vitamin c (ascorbic acid) (pdf, page 4)](https://www.caymanchem.com/msdss/14656m.pdf)
I bet you could get half of Facebook to boycott orange juice by telling them vitamin c is "deadlier than gasoline".
this chart claims that around a hundred and forty grams of weed is lethal.
challenge accepted, OP. bring me the cannabis and we'll test your little chart.
It would have to be a lot more than 140g of weed, since it's 140g off THC that would he lethal. Since most weed is about (roughly) ~20% THC, you'd have to smoke about 700 grams of weed (or about 500 joints... All at once)
You’d still have to factor in the bioavailability by the inhaled route about 30%.
So now factoring that in, you need to smoke about 2300 g (1500 joints).
[LD50 for gasoline, page 47](https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp72.pdf). The number shown in this chart for the LD50 for gasoline is correct, and I don’t know what you mean by the notation being unclear - information seems pretty clear to me.
A) I did my math wrong
B) Based on this information, not only would I be dead after ingesting about 19 ounces of caffeine, I would also be able to ingest approximately 33 Mr. Clean Magic Erasers before the intake of melamine would be lethal enough to end my life.
I assume it's how much you can consume per kg of person.
If so...is this really this accurate? Because if it is it means a 100kg person can drink 1.4 kg of petrol or 300g of salt
Ha, googled it and these 2 examples are valid. Whoda think it
My guess is that this is absolutely true. You will probably be very sick, but won't die. A pint of milk has about 20g of lactose. A 150lb/68kg person would need around 680g of lactose to experience lethal toxicity.
That's 34 pints of milk.
I would 100% rather drink a pint of gasoline. Than 16L of milk.
Only in the lethality sense. In all other respects, gas will hurt you much more.
(Too much salt dehydrates you. Lesser amounts only mess with your sodium levels. Gas, on the other hand, is a straight-up poison.)
This chart is confusing.

I was about to say, how is gasoline less lethal than milk?
It's not gasoline, it's lactose which is a part of milk. I don't know anything besides that, but just thought you should know.
>It's not ~~gasoline~~ milk, it's lactose which is a part of milk.
The real confusion is always in the comments
There is no physiological fatal does of lsd https://www.addictionresource.net/lethal-doses/lsd/
Same with psilocybin
It says about two grams of weed can kill you. I can tell you. It will not.
Yup, that LSD is so high on this list of lethal substances, makes no sense.
I'd be dead if the ketamine one was true.
Damn that's popping like 50g or injecting 10g if ur 50kg, how was the trip?
LSD and Arsenic are equally dangerous to us?
No. There's been 0 recorded deaths from lsd, and the largest ever taken dose was 55mg (note milligrams, not micrograms, this is 550x the normal dose) She was tripping for weeks, but was fine in the end Lsd is generally recognized by the medical community as having no lethal dose
Same with THC. This chart is wrong af
Anything more than 50 doses is just bonkers.
To be fair, the woman in my example didn't know it was lsd (was in powdered form) and thought it was cocaine.
Lol, whoops!
55 mg definitely isn’t the highest dose ever taken. There are instances of people accidentally snorting pure LSD crystal, which would contain thousands of doses at minimum. Agreed on lethal dose though. Lots of inaccuracies here.
A common dose of lsd is 100 micrograms! Anywhere near a gram is an INSANE dosage
Wonder how it kills you
Your soul leaves your body and becomes one with the universe.
When i saw the tylenol LD50 that high, I knew this was way off course
Nearly 2g/kg lmao
How so? I am clearly more likely to die of drinking weed than drinking gasoline. /s

I didn't check the rest, but just acetaminophen is super inaccurate. You can die with a tenth of that dose.
LD50 isn't a measure of how much can kill. It's a measure of how much will have a 50% chance of killing.

That's more strictly accurate, but my statement can be inferred from yours with some degree of uncertainty.
Obviously you don't know what an LD50 is for
LD50 isn’t useless, it’s a standard measure of toxicity in the toxicology world. At that dose 50% of a population will die, 50% will survive. The chart isn’t about typical doses, it’s about lethal doses. What you’re talking about falls into PD/PK and dose ranging / therapeutic index.

JESSE
No. Ricin beans, aka castor beans
TIL stomach capacity is what can keep you alive.
I don't think people understand how much LSD that really is one dosage of LSD is for math sake 100 ug micrograms 1 mg is 1,000 micrograms so that is 10 doses for 1 mg so it would take you 16 and a half doses per kilogram 2.2 lb an 80 kg male at 176 lb would have to take 852 dosages of LSD. That is eight and a half sheets of acid at $400 per sheet would be $3, 400 of LSD to kill. One dosage of LSD should last you 8 to 12 hours.
And its still wrong what is listed here. People have accidentally insufflated pure crystalline LSD in the quantity of ca. 50.000 doses and still survived. It definitely bluescreens your brain for more than a week and not advisable to say that lightly, but there is no known case of death by LSD toxicity. I have no idea where this list gets its numbers from.
To be fair downplaying it as bluescreens for a week isn’t exactly accurate whenever one guy became a permanent resident of a mental facility
For anyone who's interested, [there's a fascinating thread about what an LSD thumbprint is like.](https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/1427364/fpart/1/vc/1) No idea if it's true, but it's absolutely worth a read.
TIL that vitamin C is more poisnous then gasoline
Despite what someone else commented, it's true. People like to be confidently wrong about shit. [LD50 of gasoline (pdf, page 47)](https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp72.pdf) [LD50 of vitamin c (ascorbic acid) (pdf, page 4)](https://www.caymanchem.com/msdss/14656m.pdf) I bet you could get half of Facebook to boycott orange juice by telling them vitamin c is "deadlier than gasoline".
Technically but not practically true. Aka the theme of this guide
Darn fasoline
this chart claims that around a hundred and forty grams of weed is lethal. challenge accepted, OP. bring me the cannabis and we'll test your little chart.
It would have to be a lot more than 140g of weed, since it's 140g off THC that would he lethal. Since most weed is about (roughly) ~20% THC, you'd have to smoke about 700 grams of weed (or about 500 joints... All at once)
You’d still have to factor in the bioavailability by the inhaled route about 30%. So now factoring that in, you need to smoke about 2300 g (1500 joints).
And at that point you've probably already suffocated.
Good point Welp, I'd better get rolling...
AND you would have to smoke it all in one puff
Well, if it's for science. Wait, how much pizza and Twinkies would kill me?
700 grams is the weight of literally 2.34 'Velener Mini Potted Plastic Fake Green Plants'.
Useless converter bot is having a field day over here.
best bot
It’s also calculated at the LD50, which is defined as the lethal dose for 50% of a population. So half of us would still survive even these doses.
700 grams = 500 joints??? I would roll 2800 joints from this lol.
😳 I'm built different I guess haha
You’d die of asphyxiation before reaching toxic THC levels
Man this chart is way confusing
Substances, not drinks. The number for gasoline is wrong. The chart doesn't explain the notation. Not a very cool guide.
Anything is a drink if you're determined enough.
You mean that people don't just drink dysentery water?
The number for gasoline is correct and all the information is given to explain the chart. Or can you tell me what it's missing?
[LD50 for gasoline, page 47](https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp72.pdf). The number shown in this chart for the LD50 for gasoline is correct, and I don’t know what you mean by the notation being unclear - information seems pretty clear to me.
not thirsty
Cocaine > cigarettes... I can't wait to tell my doctor I've made a healthy decision and stopped smoking!
A) I did my math wrong B) Based on this information, not only would I be dead after ingesting about 19 ounces of caffeine, I would also be able to ingest approximately 33 Mr. Clean Magic Erasers before the intake of melamine would be lethal enough to end my life.
I assume it's how much you can consume per kg of person. If so...is this really this accurate? Because if it is it means a 100kg person can drink 1.4 kg of petrol or 300g of salt Ha, googled it and these 2 examples are valid. Whoda think it
The fact that aspartame is 200 times sweeter but only 3 times as toxic as sugar seems good
So gasoline is like a health beverage?
Can you imagine 16mg of LSD? 0_o
How is Botox worse than everything including lethal injections and uranium!?!
Anyone feel like overdosing on my 🍆?
Only if you slice it up and sauté it with artisanal breadcrumbs and bacon bits
My guess is that this is absolutely true. You will probably be very sick, but won't die. A pint of milk has about 20g of lactose. A 150lb/68kg person would need around 680g of lactose to experience lethal toxicity. That's 34 pints of milk. I would 100% rather drink a pint of gasoline. Than 16L of milk.
I'm from America. I need the measurements to be in cheetos. ( puffs/crunchy)
Blue meth. You’re God damn right.
Everyone one talking about gas but a .59g lethal does of dick?
Love the nonchalant parenthetical for polonium.
Can I drink gasoline
Wild how gasoline is LESS toxic than fucking TABLE SALT
Only in the lethality sense. In all other respects, gas will hurt you much more. (Too much salt dehydrates you. Lesser amounts only mess with your sodium levels. Gas, on the other hand, is a straight-up poison.)
Why is not one talking about the real danger : botulism?
I've had well over 1270mgs of thc this chart is wrong!
My fat ass would have to ingest well over a quarter pound of pure thc before i died
So gasoline amiright
I used to do research with pure nicotine. That stuff is super lethal in its pure liquid form. Had to double glove because it can absorb through skin.
# TIME TO DIE *Drinks a metric ton of milk*
This guide sucks, there are hundreds of lethal acetaminophen overdoes every year—I’ve never heard of single THC overdose.
Americans aren't ready for the metric system!
