Just a bad dream

Hey everyone, I have decided that my CTB method will be cyanide poisoning. I have started collecting peach seeds. I have read that peach seeds have 6.81 milligrams of Amygdalin per seed. Apparently, 3.5 mg/kg of amygdalin is fatal. I'm 60kg. So I calculated 4mg/kg for 70kg, which is 280mg (300mg to be absolutely sure). I was wondering if I could talk to anyone here that could confirm my method.

Just reading about amygdalin, i'm nowhere near convinced about the lethality of this method. Seems like there's a ton of others that would be way more likely to end a human's life.
Where'd you read of the content of amygdalin per peach seed?
anything from nature has its inconsistencies, so it's worth doing the research about numbers like that when you're basing calculations like this off of them. and you'd need to factor in that you'd be ingesting fruit seeds, which have otherwise non-toxic fibrous shit that's very hard or impossible to digest for humans, so idk if the toxin would be bioavailable / active

I agree about it being not a very reliable method to end your life, but it would still cause harm at the very least. I have read something from a medical journal (it is not in English, but I'll put the text anyways, maybe someone interested reads it by using a translator): https://www.firattipdergisi.com/pdf/pdf_FTD_1279.pdf.

The article covers the story of a young man (20) collecting about 700 apple seeds in a jar, and ingesting an unspecified amount of them (not sure if he ingested all 700 of them). His father founds him unconscious and with white foams over his mouth. He survives the poisoning in hospital. So I guess human body can digest it, but it is not short and effective enough apparently, as his father could save him even after his son was having serious symptoms.

Also, just as you said, the amygdalin content differs greatly, even from one fruit to another. Furthermore, the article does not make it clear how the young man ingested the seeds (probably to reduce the probability of copycat suicides). We don't know if the man chewed the seeds in his mouth first before swallowing them or not. AND if he did chew, most fruit seeds taste absolutely terrible. So one could struggle go through the method fully, after the terrible taste and drop the method without ingesting enough of them and just get sick and not die.
