     pot is definitely more benign than ecstacy

     Take 500mg edible dose and say that shit

     Take ld50 of water and tell me how safe it is. Dumb fuck =)
     Although, .5g of pot taken in edible form is not enough
     to cause whatever I think you're trying to imply, so...

     (BTW, what's the "ld" in "ld60"?)
     At least 14 people have died from drinking too much water while
     doing
     sport

     Water intoxication, also known as water poisoning or hyperhydration,
     is
     a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that results when
     the
     normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside safe
     limits
     by overhydration.
     Under normal circumstances, accidentally consuming too much water is
     exceptionally rare.
     Nearly all deaths related to water intoxication in normal
     individuals
     have resulted either from water-drinking contests, in which
     individuals
     attempt to consume large amounts of water, or from long bouts of
     exercise during which excessive amounts of fluid were consumed.[1]
     In
     addition, water cure, a method of torture in which the victim is
     forced
     to consume excessive amounts of water, can cause water intoxication.
