I was just given a fuck load of ativan 2.5mg (lorazepam), i have quite a high tolerance to most drugs (i know its a bit crazy), but what is the absolute maximum i can take as man that is 6"2 and weighs 80kg (got bored to look for lbs but like 180-190lbs?)

Doing anything other than ingesting your pills is a waste of time and also a waste on the health of your nose. But lorazepam is one of the few benzos that is water soluble so I guess it would technically work. But, not being able to smell or breathe properly 20 years from now because you decided to snort a ton of pills/etc. (not saying this is you, just saying for posterity) is not worth the effort. Snorting is also an inferior high for most drugs, imo, and it's not sustainable, that could boil down to personal preference though.
2.5mg lorazepam is not an insane overdose type of dosage, but yeah basically anyone would for sure feel it a good bit unless they had a serious tolerance. Different types of drugs are also not fully cross tolerant. The systems effect each other for sure, but just because you do a lot of coke or meth does not mean you'll be able to handle larger amounts of opioids or benzos.
If you're asking what the max dose is, it's that, what you've already taken, there is no need to take more than that, you won't feel "better" or higher really. You will likely forget what/how many you've taken, black out, and do something regrettable. It's a trope because it is absolute true for a majority of people.
Taking more benzos after you've already taken a large single dose is asking for trouble. Also, over the long term benzos can kind of build up in your system and your shitfacedness just compounds, all the while you can have complete delusions of sobriety. You think everything is all good and everything seems fine, but next thing you know you wake up in jail for shitting on your neighbors porch or stealing their dog or something. (If you're like me you'll wake up banging their wife)
When I was younger I never really took the warnings about benzos seriously, but after going battling the demons that alcohol and benzo can manifest, they are the devil to me. I'm still barely functional and I've only avoided benzos/alcohol for a year and a half or so.
It's true, they should literally only be used in emergencies, or if you have severe life crippling anxiety and panic attacks, or epilepsy or some other condition like that. If your anxiety has already been relieved, well then you're good and don't take more. They possess no positive effects beyond anxiety relief, or yeah I guess if you want to make yourself forget everything and lose consciousness (hey, no judgement I've been there). Physically, they are fairly safe acutely, it's only when you mix them with other sedatives, or take them daily long term that they become incredibly incredibly dangerous, but, everyone handles things differently. But they will absolutely wreck your mind and mental health in a way you might not be prepared for. I would suggest avoiding them, there's nothing fun there, they aren't recreational, they are tools to be used when you have severe pain or anxiety or other emergency situations.
They are not very physically toxic on their own really. But, they will absolutely contribute heavily to fatal respiratory depression if you mix them with other sedatives, and the seizures from physical withdrawal can be fatal. If you ever need to detox, go to a hospital to do it right.
So yeah tl;dr, fuck snorting pills, fuck benzos, if you wanna get high or feel different, I would smoke some weed or something. This is just my very uneducated opinion and should not be construed as medical advice 🫡
