That sounded more like QOTSA than Anthrax, but I could be wrong.

Cocaine is heavily processed; it’s not all natural. But the other two are just as God made them, so smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em, I guess.

Cocaine is actually supernatural.

The leaves are natural but the refined product is fucking super.

One of those is not like the others. It is medically impossible to overdose on one of them.

There are a few people who are allergic (as in anaphylactic shock deadly allergic) to it though… It is fairly rare but not unheard of.

Some people are allergic to protein. As in, deadly allergic. To meat.

The Lone Star tick can create allergies to nonprimate mammalian meat and leather. So i guess monkey stew and roast Long pig are still on the menu?

Wait, non-primate mammalian meat?! Who the heck figured that out, how, and WHY?!

All of which statements are either blatantly false in the absurd, I mean "two plus three equals thirteen, also the sky is neon-green and water is the driest substance known to mankind" false, or are misleading in that the exact same statement applies to alcohol and tobacco.

tetrodotoxin scares the crap out of me. Ive been catching/handling/releasing california newts in a local pond for years (gently, with clean wet hands). One day I looked them up, turns out they are LOADED with tetrodotoxin due to an evolutionary arms race with a type of garter snake that eats them.

I had no idea they were in newts. Was this a North American species?

Taricha torosa, California newt. Other species of Taricha also have tetrodotoxin. As far as I know their range is restricted to the pacific northwest.
