We have all these threads about drugs, jumping, shooting or inert gases. They are all associated with certain risks or individual barriers. For example, I'm affraid of drug dosing, I don't know how to get them, I hate height, I would be too afraid to jump, I have no gun, can't legally obtain one and would be afraid of blasting my face off but surviving it.
The inert gases discussions mainly focus on helium or neon and how they can be used with a mask or exit bag. Masks are often difficult to build and exit bags are not the right choice for some people, including myself. I don't like to put something over my head.
An easy, effective, legal and peaceful alternative is argon. Argon is heavier than air and accumulates at the bottom of whatever you put it in. It works the same as helium (lighter than air!) and the other inert gases. You breath it in and it replaces the oxygen in your lungs but also prevents the builup of CO2, which you exhale. So you get no suffocation feeling. You just pass out, like under medical narcosis. You even get a small high before you do.
Filling your bathtub with argon is very easy. You use ducttape to cover drainage and all other openings that could leak the gas. You need to buy a pure bottle of argon with around 10 litres. You buy a pressure regulator, you put it on the bottle and you put the bottle into the bathtub. You open the valve and it will fill the bathtub. As long as there is no strong ventilation, the argon will replace the air. One could put foil on three quarters of the bathtub to decrease ventilation even more. After 15 to 30 minutes, the whole bathtub should have filled with argon. You slowly enter on one side and rest on the floor. You will pass out peacefully within 15 to 25 seconds. The valve is still open and will ensure, that for the next 2 hours, argon will flow into the already full bathtub, replacing any losses. After 20 minutes you are dead.
Easy, legal, effective, peaceful.
Be sure to put up a warning sign of the gas, so that you don't endanger other people who find you.
If you don't have a bathtub or if you are not living alone, this gets more difficult of course. Other options may be better then. Making sure that nobody disturbs you in these 20 minutes is crucial, otherwise you could end up as vegetable.
