I very much understand what you're saying, and have discussed the matter in OTD. Most of the regs there give someone a chance though; when they realize someone's a shitbird, though, then they might be a little rude. But there are actually a few people that have registered recently that fit in quite well.
Can't speak for everyone, but I think you'd fit in fine there. You're not a bad poster at all.

I don't fit in OTD. I am a shitbird.
More on topic though, I also disagree with rbalzer's ban (not like it matters). But it was still pretty dumb to risk it when you've been warned before and have google at your finger tips.

You should give OTD a chance, some of the most friendly people on the site post there.
Agreed. If I ever find myself in a bad way, and need to vent/need some legit advice, the first people I'd go to are longtime OTDers.

Idk what LD50 is..
But when I did ask for the lethal dose, it was only for SAFETY INFORMATION. I feel i should be able to ask for information that could be important to my health

And if the information given is wrong?
Go look it up elsewhere.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

i also would not ask for lethal doses (LD50) on a forum. if erowid didn't have it, i can understand. but i also don't really know why i would need to know the lethal dose of something considering i don't really push doses that far anyway.

what if it happened to be close to the normal doses, like datura?
why risk it?

The answer could well be backed up by a reference from a trustworthy source. It's a good thing to keep in mind though that the LD50 is what will kill half the population, some would have died from smaller doses. In any case, I don't think that asking for or discussing this information is the same thing as asking for or giving personal dosage advice since the "advice" component is not present. As far as I knew there is no blanket ban on discussing dosage.

I'm not totally sure but it seems to be the standard for discussing toxicity. LD1 tells you what will kill 1% of the population, so that would give you a better ballpark idea of a minimum lethal dose. LD0.1 would be even better. Reference books like the Merck Index are likely to tell you only the LD50 though, for example XXX mg/Kg body weight in rats, mice or whatever. Lab animal tests don't exactly tell you what it will be in humans but obviously there are ethical problems with giving drugs to humans until they die. Another consideration is the possibility that doses below the lethal threshold will cause other permanent damage to the body.
It's hard to extrapolate from the LD50 in some lab animal what will be a safe dose for an individual to take, which I guess is why people are touchy about discussing it. As far as I knew it wasn't against the rules here though, but I could be wrong.
