The PIM? Uhm.... I find this a really good link
for drug info.; the other one is the one I posted from the U of Alberta. Poison control info. is very good for finding the toxicity levels of all drugs. I'm sorry that there are discrepancies in this one... you must be very well-educated in the area.> I do appreciate your bringing this site back into my consciousness. I had the link, but had forgotten about it. There's an especially good monograph re: aspirin overdose. However, I found the cannabis document to border on absurdity. The toxic threshold is 1/10 of the typical dose from a single joint? <smirk>
I remember an article from a dr. at a Montreal hospital, where he reported an overdose on aspirin, on the grounds of the aspirin being coated and taking longer to have the intened lethal effect; presumably the person kept adding to the dose.
Don't know much about marijuana -- never could inhale at the best of parties :-).>
