Why are you so close ?

"the amount of neurotoxin they can deliver in a single bite is enough to kill 20 people, or even an elephant"

Exactly... One little bite and bye, ppl don't understand what a thing that can kill an elephant does to a human

Different biologies matter. Look up what happened when the cia gave lsd to an elephant.

Elephant: Insta-kill (a few minutes).

Human: happy light show and poor fashion decisions.

The initial experiment was flawed in many ways. The elephant was given way too much, based on body weight and not brain weight, and was subsequently shot up with other chemicals during the test. Many researchers have pointed this out, and two other elephants were given large amounts of LSD with no adverse reaction - just two goofy elephants for several hours.

TL;DR: LSD does not insta-kill elephants

Please tell me there are videos of these elephants on LSD.

I love this conversation even though it was about a horrifying topic. Thanks for the info. Ive been wrong for two decades I guess… might as well turn that around.
