According to Derek Humphry's Final Exit, about 1.5g of cyanide is lethal (in this case he's referring to 1.5g of potassium cyanide salt dissolved in a liquid.)
This medical paper says that 500mg of Amygdalin (also known as "Vitamin B17" or Laetrile) is equal to about 30mg of cyanide. https://www.hindawi.com/journals/criem/2017/4289527/
A seemingly-legitimate site, apparently for apricot-based supplements, sells a product that is essentially 100 tablets of 500mg of Amygdalin
About 50 tablets of this product would theoretically grant about 1.5g of cyanide, the amount Derek Humphry implied in Final Exit was the ideal lethal dose
There's no way I could possibly get down 50 tablets of 500mg Amygdalin pills, is there? Like even if my body didn't immediately make me vomit, I would start feeling the effects of cyanide poisoning before I could swallow 50 tablets?
I guess it all depends how big they are
There's liquid versions of Amygdalin (also ostensibly used as some sort of apricot supplement or something), which I imagine would be easier to chug, but I have no idea how to translate liquid versions of that into grams and milligrams.
(For instance, what would 4ml of pure Amygdalin translate to in grams?)
