The dose makes the poison inferred

A reported mouse iv LD50 for Phenethylamine is 100 mg/kg, the dose lethal to half the animals tested. Scaled by body mass alone:

7.0 g
a median lethal dose scaled to 154 lb (7,000 mg)

“The dose makes the poison” is a cross-species estimate shown as neutral science, not a threshold anyone should act on. Real toxicity depends on the person, not body mass alone.
