> I am sorry you think I have offended the board guidelines. This is not what i intended to do and I don't think its the same principle. My issue is with regards to dosage and the link to safety, I was not implying how much do I need to take to commit suicide.
The thing about an LD50 is that it can be used by some people to harm themselves as well as by others to keep themselves safe. I'm sorry you got caught by this rule when you were trying to keep yourself safe.
> My post seeks to clarify this concern by trying to gauge whether someone should take meds according to their body weight or whether any dose is safe (eg if x takes that much, is it ok for y to).
That's a good question, and fine to ask in a way that doesn't refer to the LD50. Thanks,
Bob
