3000's the most i've had, and i'm one of the sanest and healthest 38 years old you could wish to meet, if you have a strong mind it's not about the amount, i can guarantee that over a 1000 it doesn't matter, eg a 1000 is the same as 3000, and if there was a pot with a 1000000 in it, a cup from it would be just the same as a cup from a pot with over a 1000 in it, once it's in your blood to the max you can't go any further, thats why people don't die from having to many liberty caps, i'd say that's nature way of making them safe for us to eat [ only if you have a strong mind though ].
