Hello
I have some powdered N that I bought about 8 years ago (hard to believe it was so long ago) via a source listed in the PPH. I now wish to use the N.
I am concerned about the quality of the N so I sent it to Energy Control who confirmed that the sample I sent was 70% sodium pentobarbital. There is 25 grams in total so if the sample is representative of the whole then there should be 17.5 grams of pentobarbital (more than enough).
However, I am concerned about 3 things:
(1) How do I know the sample is representative? Could the average purity be below this but I picked a higher concentration sample? I mixed the bag of N up quite a bit so hopefully I will have a representative sample?
(2) The sample is quite old and I wondered whether it may have gone off? But I assume that the results would have showed if that were the case? Sodium pentobarbital is sodium pentobarbital - there is nothing more to its efficacy than the chemical molecule?
(3) I am concerned about what the remainder (30%) is? Could it be a molecule which interferes with N or which causes very unpleasant side effects prior to death? Is there any way of either checking what the 30% is (I don't think you can ask EC for a complete breakdown - you have to ask in relation to a specific chemical) or removing the 30%?
Apologies if I am being pedantic but I really do not want to fuck this up.
Thanks
