Why are poisons and medicines made of the same substance but given with different intentions?

Answer #1

Quantity matters.

Answer #2

Agreed. Any amount of a substance, even salt, in the wrong quantity or dose can be fatal. Simple chemistry. But your body needs salt in order to survive. It’s the same with the combination of medicines.

Answer #3

“The Difference Between Poison And Medicine Is The Dose”- By Circa Survive. Epic song XD and educational!!! (sort of…well the title is)
