oh man that looks awful, it must have been so unbearable, it reminds me of one food poisoning I once had, why did this get popular on SaSu?
Been here for a little over a year. This is all my opinion, observation and speculation.
From what I can tell it originated in the PPH (Peaceful Pill Handbook) then gained a lot of traction here. Now it's the "Holy Grail" of methods here.
There's so many anecdotal takes on how much pain it actually causes and what it feels like.
Some users claim it's just "mild discomfort" or "uncomfortable". Some claim that from experience, having attempted or taking a small dosage.
But most people just parrot that it's "uncomfortable not painful" because they saw others say that online. Without having anyway of knowing that's the case. They read it from strangers online and assume it's true.
Then recently as of the last few months I've seen people backtracking, saying it's "peaceful compared to other methods". Not actually peaceful.
I've seen other posts where people said it was extremely painful. I saw one approximately a week or two ago where the user said they felt like they could barely breathe and to make it stop.
I've read a lot of medical literature online about it that talk about symptoms that sound quite painful, and vice versa.
No one seems to even be able to fully agree on whether or not you feel like you're suffocating after ingestion.
And I'm attempting to not being be hypocrite. I don't know which one is true. Which is why I still haven't opened or used mine.
I wish someone with a verifiable medical background could attest to the pain you'd experience. And you see plenty of users on other popular sites asking exactly that, and of course, no one with actual knowledge will answer because they don't want to promote/encourage or be held liable.
Unfortunately there are bad actors on both sides. Anti-choice pro lifers, and people trying to encourage suicide. So it's very difficult to confirm what's true.
The only thing that seems to be unquestionably true is that it is highly lethal.
