I don't think that consuming licorice would be a peaceful method of suicide.

Here are some related videos:

also a good way to lower testosterone if you're into that kinda thing, lol
i think for a while i used to drink licorice tea a little too frequently, but i feel like you would truly need to drink an immense amount of that stuff to actually suffer from some kinda high blood pressure related effect..
i remember thinking about killing myself by putting a bunch of salt into pill capsules and trying to just die from insane hypernatremia, but i feel like that would maybe someone end up being incredibly painful, and there's possibly a chance i mess it up and end up with brain damage.. so....

i think i also had the idea at one point to try and die of dehydration, and just ceasing eating and drinking altogether until i pass.. i read a lot of old people do it who can't obtain euthanasia, and that apparently after a while you stop realizing how thirsty you are, and the main issue is just having an incredibly dry throat, which can be helped by spraying the back of it with a little water.. iirc the people do get really tired and out of it eventually from this until they eventually succumb to death, but i think it is relatively peaceful if you can bare the discomfort for such a long period of time like that..

This sounds so uncomfortable to me personally lol. Also I think someone died in Australia from eating those kojac noodles that are all finer and have almost no calories. Death by noodle.

yeah.. both of those methods sound incredibly uncomfy to me too, lol
i think it's just something my mind wanders to a lot, and it leads me to speculating about dying in really strange ways.. like i might dissociate to the point of not drinking any water for 10 hours and start thinking "wow, that felt terrible, i wonder how hard it would be for me to kill myself that way", etc :p

My first thought when I read the title of this thread was, "Oh, yeah, licorice might work because it's so goddamn disgusting and is self-harm for your taste buds."
