If we're going to talk about poisons, let's remember that most substances
are toxic at certain levels.  Oxygen is the most corrosive element is the
known universe, and pure concentrations of it can cause oxygen narcosis in
the human body.  And one can suffer from "water poisoning", caused by the
intake of too much water (this needs to be distinguished from drowning,
which can also be referred to as "the intake of too much water" <grin>).

Isn't the issue personal responsibility and responsible use of a substance,
rather than the substance itself?
