Crooked Timber: Further religious news

In the newly revised, more accessible edition of the New International Version of the Bible, “stoned” has been changed to “stoned to death” for fear that modern readers may get the impression that the reward for adultery is a big spliff.

Um, let's do the numbers. With an average smoked dose of .03 mg/kg of THC (let's call that a gram of weed), and an LD50 (from mice/rats) of about 1000 mg/kg of THC (more for males), stoned to death would be at least 30kg of decent weed. Probably more like 100kg, "just to make sure".

Now, that's biblical justice.
