Would overdosing on gas station pills work?

[AllAlone]

I saw a jon Oliver piece on gas station pills being unregulated and dangerous, specifically 7OH and tianeptine, and apparently people do die from this stuff. I know the chances are low but do you think trying to OD with these pills might work?

Sounds risky. If it's unregulated you might not get what it actually says on the box or a inconsistent dose.

I think the problem is, and I haven't watched that segment yet but it is in my queue to watch... you kind of don't know what you're taking or how much could be lethal vs how much might just fuck you up. OD is really not recommended as a reliable method to anyone because of all the unknown unknowns.

Technically speaking, you can drink too much water in a short period of time and die from that. "Too much of a good thing can kill you" applies to a surprising amount of otherwise non-toxic things as well as toxic ones. But just as surprising, the poisons don't always kill you either.
