going with the cherry pit method

[Harleyyy]

hey all my precious people
if you have read my previous threads then you may know that i chose hanging however, i have thought alot about it but i cannot do that to my family. whoever will find my body will be doomed for life. i will not go through with this method unless i have no other option left.
i researched about the cherry pit method, cant seem to figure out if it is just hoax or real but i will try.
i am relatively slim, so i think 30 cherry pits will be enough. will crush them and gulp them up with water.
if anyone has researched about this before or has any information about this method i would be eternally grateful if you could share that with me.
i have read the discussion thread on this method.

I imagine the lack of information would indicate that this isn't a very effective method, otherwise I think it would be more talked about? But after googling it says only 1/2 can be fatal, so why 30?

i read somewhere, on the mega thread, so i'll go with 30.

Can you link me the megathread? I wanted to go with hanging before but found it so uncomfortable and agree with your criticisms of it.

cherry pits contain a chemical called amygdalin which when digested converts into cyanide. swallowing the whole cherry pit with the hard cover wont do any harm but the seed inside contains the chemical.

Someone on quora has said:

"Assuming that you are talking about death caused by your body metabolising the amygdalin into cyanide, not likely.

Cherry pits are only around 3–5% amygdalin by weight and since the lethal dose from amygdalin is 3g/kg of body weight, you would require a lot of cherries.

Another issue Is that the poison itself is enclosed in a nut-like shell Which slows absorption. Ideally you would grind the pits and then purify the compound.

Theoretically though, if you weighed 100kg, you would need to consume 300g of amygdalin and since cherry pits are (let's assume) 5% amygdalin by weight With the average cherry pit weighing 1g… You would need to eat 6000 ground pits.

Unless you just chug this compound with some water… it might just metabolize and be excreted before it reaches a lethal concentration.

So to answer your question; how many hours does it take for 30 cherry pits to kill you? Well, infinite?"

i havent read this before, but i dont think this is true. if you search this up you will find cases of cherry pit poisoning.

I'm sorry i cant find the megathread. The site is showing some server problem. But if i do find it i'll be sure to send you the link.

In a gi joe episode they killed the giant blob with whole apples with seeds.

And to think we managed without this kind of expertise from a chemist on the forum until now...

I found a video looking at cherry pits & cyanide with a tester:Crushing cyanide out of cherries with hydraulic press. He did previously with apples seeds.

Here's the thread (no megathread)

@Harleyyy. I'm not sure you read passed the 2nd comment bcuz On page 2, There was this comment

Also, from Reddit:

"
Here is the math

TL;DR:


29.4 grams of cherry kernels x 0.17% HCN = 50mg of cyanide
One cherry pit weighs about 1 gram, so you're going to have to eat about 30 crushed cherry pits to die a horrible death.

UPDATE (2019-06-04): /u/MrMerati reached out and pointed out that the cherry pit amygdalin content cited on that page is (probably) wrong [Bolarinwa et al.]. So with new values of 0.27% (≈0.016% HCN by mass) for black cherries and 0.4% (≈0.024% HCN by mass) for red, we get the following lowest lethal amounts:

50mg / 0.016% = 312.5g ≈ 313 black cherry pits.
50mg / 0.024% = 208.3g ≈ 209 red cherry pits"

And that's just to get like 50mg

So you'd theoretically need 30 times that much, or 9,000 cherry pits

Although, the 1.5g cyanide painless dose is for potassium cyanide/KCN so I'm not sure how that changes in regard to hydrogen cyanide

This guy dissolves gold with however many cherry pits this is, which I can't tell by eye:


Edit: The 9,000 cherry pits number seems way off, maybe it would be in the 1,800-2,000 range, which is still impractically high

there has also been a recent discussion on apricot seeds, bcuz the search function is down, i couldnt find it but it's definitely does not seem a plausible way to ctb.

If you try this please post pictures of your experience with extracting thousands of pits and grinding them.

well, i did read the entire thread, however, i did use other resources too, some said eating 1-2 kernels will be okay, while others said you would have to have about more than 10 to cause some actual damage, there have been reportings of cyanide poisoning if you look them up, the information about this is less so cant really say. i dont have access to other methods, wanted to go with sn but cant so im looking this up.

Rather try apricot kernels, they have more cyanide
