you want details.
details are not at all "disinformation", which is the deliberate attempt to mislead or deceive.
you simply want more information, which is why I made this post, including the two links to the specific numbers for those interested in the details.
the ld50 of caffeine is about 150 mg/kg, the ld50 of psilocybin is 293 mg/kg.
hence the post letting people(like you) know that caffeine is about twice as toxic as psilocybin.
plenty of people are uninformed as to the toxicity of magic mushrooms, and I want people to know that they are physiologically safer than the active ingredient in soda or tea or whatever caffeinated beverage you prefer.
