I have to say the smallest one fricking terrified me. I couldn't imagine that low of dosage could not only kill me, but tons of people: LINK

The Marijuana sample is too small to see. Scary stuff indeed.

Water surprises me. 13 lbs doesn't seem like much.

It would be just about your entire body weight as far as I know.

I liked the suitably ominous music. The 1 ng amount for botulinum toxin is insane.
ETA: Meh. Per Wikipedia, the LD50 is 1.3-2.1 ng per kilogram for intravenous delivery, so figure 100-200 ng for an adult. It's 10x that when inhaled.

How is a wasp more poisonous than a rattlesnake?

I feel like you'd smoke yourself into a nap before you could get anywhere

The rattlesnake injects more venom into you.

Yeah, and the fact that a single gram could wipe out a city, that does scare me if some psychopath got a hold of it. He could do more damage than a nuclear bomb.

Heard on a podcast today you'd need to smoke about 6 tons in 15 minutes.

Without watching I am guessing Carfentanil is the most toxic.
ETA: I was wrong.

That's impossible.
I've tried.

LSD is effective in the 100 microgram range and is often cited as an extremely potent drug. Botulinum is deadly at 1/100,000 that dose.
The LD50 for fentanyl is about 2 mg for an adult male. Botulinum will kill him at 1/2,000,000 that dose.
I'd wager that in Botox, Allergan has a substance more valuable gram-for-gram than printer ink.
ETA: Either I wasn't paying attention, or the video misrepresented the lethal dose for an adult human by a factor of 100. So the ratios above would be 1/1,000 and 1/20,000. Still pretty impressive.

There's days I drink a 1.5 gallons a day from the time I wake up till the time I go to bed. Water poising is no joke but 13 pounds in a 12 hr period won't kill you but will make you pee a lot. Drinking that much in a much shorter period will kill you. I'm on another forum and a member died from drinking too much water during a canoe race.

Your body would explode long before that. I'm guessing that's what they used for the water statistic.
