The Dose Makes The Argument
Looking at the classic Paracelsus principle through a meme lens!

There are only overdoses." It's basically the scientific equivalent of "I'm not late, you're just early." Toxicologists everywhere are simultaneously nodding and face-palming.

Just your typical lab meeting where someone's trying too hard to one-up the founding father of toxicology. Next they'll be telling us water is just hydrogen hydroxide that hasn't killed you yet. The difference between medicine and poison? Paperwork and intent.
