Method SN vs. Sodium Azide

[SiArc]

So I have been reading up on some stuff and happened across Sodium Azide as a quicker method than SN. Yes it is used in air bags as the exploding chemical and such but death has been researched to happen quicker. Didn't see it in the SN megathread so thought I'd ask about thoughts or if anyone knows anything.

Read about a study that a guy took 8g one day and despite all rescue attempts he was dead 3.5 hours later, even with a gastrointestinal lavage. It is a pdf so I couldn't link it. Average death is 40 min to 3.5 days (higher doses of course is quicker death) from 1.5-20 g.

Edit: Another study with more links:

I know the doc PN says SN is better than Azide even though SN is reversible and Azide is not. SN has a better rating on the exit scale.

So, thoughts?

SA as youve stated is explosive so as i saw in its megathread that put a fair few people off and sourcing it im some places was a problem

According to PPeH, SA is more reliable than SN...but, a little less peaceful than SN...

The part about the toxic gas it can produce is why it wasnt a method i considered. I live in flats with children around

in SA is much harder to find a reliable source
on apcpure sale of SA is restricted to the general public, the alternative is getting it from ebay\amazon made by some guy in his homelab without any way to verify its quality

Guess I will just keep with the SN then. Thank you all for the replies!

Yes it can explode, same as SN but it is less powerfull.

Damn, I was going to order it off amazon but I wasn't aware of that. I think I'll pass. Unfortunately, N is not an option for me.
