Can't you see it? Crowd pleasing clown motif, half-empty fifth of JD in the back pocket. I'd prefer harlequin myself.

I'd like them to add something like "is a base carrier for all known allergens" or something like that. That way when I set up my booth for signatures I could ask if they've experienced allergic reactions to DHMO.

A recently noted medical phenomenon involves small amounts of DHMO leaking or oozing from the corners of the eyes as a direct result of causes such as foreign particulate irritation, allergic reactions including anaphylactic shock, and sometimes severe chemical depression.

... or anything that starts out with OD'ing. Though I get SL's point that our kids have open access and a closer relationship with Benadryl as a quasi-savior in comparison with peers. Most of us wouldn't question our kids walking around with multiple doses, openly carrying a full bottle or blister pack sheet.

I did lmao reading your list.

We joke in our home.  I provide my teen with mind altering drugs....benedryl, gravol, and this week codein.  I expected a hassle at the high school for my son yo be able to self carry antihistamine.  I only have him carry a single dose (two pills).  It is NOT life saving med, it's for itchy eyes.  The VP said it was fine.

I don't think my son would use them recreationally, but I don't want him carrying a lot in case someone else gets hold of them.

This is a risk I have always been aware of....I think most here are.  But, while your own child may know better best keep the stuff hidden from their friends too.

I've always wanted to start a petition at a farmer's market to see how many signatures I could get.

Well, in pharmacology/biochem circles, the joke is that


There's an LD50 for pretty much EVERY substance that you can ingest.  Water, salt, you name it.

So if I'm gonna go, I choose...

cheesecake!!

 (potato chips/candy/etc.)

   :thumbsup:

Besides, choosing something low in toxicity means that I can really ENJOY the process, and stretch things out a while.  Do you have any idea what the LD50 is for BBQ Ruffles?? ROFL!!

Just because it's legal, doesn't mean it's safe



I guess some people actually NEED to be told this??

 :insane:

None of the following things is specifically ILLEGAL, at least not everywhere:

Feeding a 3yo four double-espressos before a cross-country flight
Driving one's car into the ocean, river, or lake
Jumping from one's own roof in order to test the tinfoil "flying suit" that you've constructed in your family room
sleeping in a chest freezer
drinking Drano


It seems to be a rare individual who doesn't comprehend that some things are just a bad idea, however.
