Method SN - Exit RP scale (whatever that is)

Nitrite is a better #euthanasia powder than azide (score of 68 v. 76 on Exit RP scale @PeacefulPill ), although it is reversible, and CLW have decided on irreversible azide. But both are v. poor substitutes for pentobarbital/ Nembutal

Why does he say its a VERY poor substitute for pento or nem? - surely if it does the job, its does the job end of-result. Might not be quite as quick but still pretty quick by all accounts-just wondered why he ranks it so much lower then P or N

Azide has one thing going for it and one thing not so good. Azide has no cure where SN does. That reflects the reliability score because medical intervention will save you if caught in time. I see Azide as dangerous for one reason, its dangerous to people who may try to save you and can be a dangerous substance to handle. Azide allegedly also gives a bad migraine sensation. Reason is why its a poor substitute is that N puts you into a good sleep and then does its work. SN takes a bit more time and you come out looking like a smurf.

The Exit group quote from their observed deaths by SN a few minutes to become unconscious. I think the average time they quoted was 3 minutes.
