Before the victim has been exposed to 'gonnakillya' his body is functioning 'normally' but once introduced the drug supplants the bodies normal ability to transmit signals through the nervous system and does it for them...until the drug runs out, but the 'normal' process is already turned off. The victim has to have more 'gonnakillya' or he will die. Similar in principal to a goa'uld in Stargate. | |

| Jun 4, 2018 at 7:27 | comment | added | Martijn | The question is a substance which becomes lethal when the dosage is less. Some drugs are lethal when the dose becomes too little :) It's a very small step to "poison" from here IMO | |
| Jun 4, 2018 at 3:12 | comment | added | Peregrine Rook | By your own explanation, this is an unsatisfying answer. If you give an addict a zero dose of the narcotic/drug, they will die. So it becomes a necessity of life, like oxygen and water (which have been discussed before). Calling such a substance a poison is disingenuous (misleading) at best. | |
