Method cyanide poisoning is kinda common in my country. how is it?

[wildbluekiss]

i don't know—maybe 'common' is an overstatement, but i certainly heard some cases with cyanide within. i live in indonesia. can someone give me facts or informations or everything you have regarding cyanide poisoning—especially to ctb? thank you in advance! (is it effective? is it THAT painful? the title, basically)

(if you could verify whether i can get is easily in this country, that would be a big help… i tried, but kinda lost…)

There's a big section on cyanide in the PPH - check the suicide resources compilation in the stickies for a download of it. It rates it as 10/10 for reliability and 5/10 for peacefulness.

 

[never mind me]

It's certainly effective. In the first half of the 20th century it was a rather common method for suicide in Europe. For example it is known that some of the leading figures of fascist Germany used cyanide poisoning to escape falling into the enemy's hand at the end of World War 2.
Nowadays it seems a lot less common, probably due to availability issues. I don't know how easily available it is in Indonesia. Also I don't know how painful it is. But it seems to be rather fast. There are known cases where prisoners bit cyanide capsules while under supervison and still managed to die.

I don't really know if you can find it where you are but I have read that it is effective but a very painful way to go. Maybe you can look into the suicide resource megathread and choose one that is available to you.

i can't really say about suicide by cyanide poisoning… but there are several cases of murder with them here. i'll try to check myself, since there are so many street illegal sellers here and there in this country lol. thanks for the information! yeah, it can be concluded that this method is hella fast.

a very painful way to go… i see. okay, i'll drop by to check! to be honest, i don't really care anymore if it's painful or not, since my body itself is hurting worse and worse everyday, i feel almost indifferent… but, doesn't hurt to check the better options! thanks

I found this - its not very pleasant

Cyanide poisoning can be a painful and horrifying experience for its victims. The symptoms of cyanide poisoning can include convulsions, the filling of the mouth with a mixture of saliva, blood, and vomit, and ultimately, death, as the body is deprived of oxygen.

Early symptoms of cyanide poisoning include headache, dizziness, fast heart rate, shortness of breath, and vomiting, which may be followed by seizures, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, loss of consciousness, and cardiac arrest

Chronic cyanide exposure can lead to vague symptoms such as a headache, abnormal taste, vomiting, chest pain, and anxiety.

Even individuals who survive may have signs of anoxic encephalopathy, movement disorders, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Therefore, cyanide poisoning is not in any way a painless death

That information has a little value as long as it doesn't mention the dosages and when those symptoms are developed in relation to loss of consciousness.

For example, poisoning with low concentrations of CO or H2S can be very slow and unpleasant too (many of the aforementioned symptoms can appear), whilst high concentrations of these gases can produce unconsciousness in a few seconds after a single breath, and those who survived such a rapid poisoning couldn't recall any pain.

Chronic cyanide exposure can lead to vague symptoms such as a headache, abnormal taste, vomiting, chest pain, and anxiety.

Why would anyone want to commit suicide by means of a chronic poison exposure?
