    That is exactly the claim the title is making? The LD50 is the entire point. What other metric could those words be referencing?

        It’s more toxic than fentanyl, yes… that’s the claim? I’m confused haha.

        Are you saying the headline is not about toxicity?

          When I hear “psychedelic mushroom alternative” I think 4-aco-dmt (a psilocybin analogue), or some other psychedelic that’s cheaper or easier to get than shrooms. It’s surprising to me that it’s referencing a totally different drug with totally different effects. I’d be about as surprised if someone called alcohol or weed a “psychedelic alternative”
