Help calcium nitrate as sn alternative?

[aerilana]

i live in SE asia and there's like no way for me to get my hands on sodium nitrite, but i saw someone selling calcium nitrate and googled to check if it can be used for ctb and apparently it is fatal when ingested and will turn into nitrite once inside your body, but there's not much research about it available so im not really sure if it'll work as peaceful as sn.

ppl were just talking about potassium nitrite or something i think the new meta is going to be gobbling random nitrates/nitrites and praying

Not nitrate. It's not basically lethal. You need nitrite.

i jsut checked and yeah the ld50 is like half of sodium nitrite so it seems viable, i might do this
i mean half as in half as potent not half the dose

With the increase in restriction of sodium nitrite the PPH does mention other alternatives.
"Other nitrites also may offer significant end of life potential. These include calcium nitrite, barium nitrite and lithium nitrite
none of which are subject to any specific restriction".
I personally wouldn't trust in them. Not only is there not enough data on them like sn, there also been users that used similar dosage as sn and failed.
