Is cyanide not peaceful? Are the people taking it suffering a lot?

I believe cyanide is a quick, efficient, but painful. There are videos of people committing suicide with cyanide in court and they do not look peaceful.

I don't think it's peaceful, no.

Cyanide is an extremely painfull method

I think it depends on the source of cyanide but I am in no means knowledgeable about the subject.

I oded on amygdalin which converts to cyanide in the body. Only thing I remember is stomach pain and loss of motor control (fell down half a flight of stairs). Realistically a very low dose of cyanide though.

Death by cyanide is not always certain, the method can fail in exceptional cases. Consciousness is lost almost immediately and death follows within 15 - 45 minutes. 1 - 1.5 gram potassium cyanide is lethal. Death by cyanide is not peaceful - all poisoning will be a painful death.

Not peaceful at all.

You can find accounts written by people in the 90s and early 2000s who failed ctb via cyanide when it was a common method. It appears to be incredibly painful if one is conscious enough to remain cognizant of what is happening.

I remember reading about the death of David Conibear. He had to buy some sort of equipment to test his cyanide solution, because if the PH is even slightly too acidic it will literally burn a hole through the stomach.

To me, that sounds incredibly horrifying. There is the risk of lasting damage if one survives, not to mention the strict penalties for possessing the substance in the first place.

This is one of those things, like the urge to eat 300 paracetamol, that you can't reccomend against enough. Very risky and not peaceful in the slightest.

I saw the video as well, it didnt look that unpeaceful, but of course there are risks and in all those cases Id take painkillers in addition

Painful or not but effective The problem is where to buy it

Not to necro this thread but for anyone considering CTBing by cyanide then 10-20 cherry seeds crushed and taken will be 100% lethal.

Cherry pits contain amygdalin which digestive enzymes transform into cyanide. But the important part here is that amygdalin is trapped INSIDE the cherry pits and normally when you swallow one it goes through your digestive tract unharmed.

So if you wanna CTB by this method manually crush about 20 cherry pits and drink the solution, it's 100% fatal. Apple seeds also work but you're gonna need like 200 of them to be lethal. Peach pits work even better than cherries but they're harder to crush so cherries seem like the best choice.

That said whether it's painful, I do not know.

Do you know where I can find these vids?

Hi there ... I have some experience with this so i am gonna share my story ... I purchased sodium cyanide from a chemical dealer for a high price as i didn't have a licence ...he Shipped the item after i bank transferred the money... It was 10g crystalline NaCN . probably laboratory grade and was smelling of bitter almonds and stuff.... He had put in tiny ZipLock
I wanted to test if it was the real deal ...so on the top edge of the bag it was a bit wet as it was monsoon season and humidity was very high ..so i touched the wet part with my finger less than a drop and put it on my tongue...
I immediately felt dizzy and couldn't breathe and almost fell on my bed ... I felt i was breathing heavily but i couldn't feel the air going into my lungs ...i didn't even swallow i had just touched the wet finger to the tip of my tongue...

So in my opinion i think Cyanide poisoning feels like drowning but without the water - People just breathe heavily and are gasping for air and die.... I think it's survival instinct that looks horrifying because the person is in a situation where there is air/oxygen but he can't absorb it.
And the taste is metallic - electric ... I don't know how to describe it but it's not so bad and kinda feels like how you'd be stung with a 9v battery

Oh cool, you're a doctor, or pharmacologic, or biologist. Then you should have no problem citing us some excellent
