ACCEPTED

The amount he took with his weight he will be fine. Actually he would need about 10X that amount for it to do harm to him. So at this point, he is fine and just don't give him anymore for the evening.

Hope this helps, If you need anything else please feel free to ask. If you found this helpful don’t forget to click the *accept* button!
