Hey Guest,
Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.
This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.
In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].
This should be pretty easy bcuz it's marketed as a Rebreather which is a life saving device used for breathing, that you are purchasing this device bcuz of the virus and would allow you breath in a crisis situation.
Why would they have a problem with that?
I don't know, but if they open it, they'll ruin the product. At the beginning I did a declaration that it was a mask, but later in the day I changed it saying it was a Rebreather with a mask. So, maybe I did it worse, in the sense of getting more attention and, therefore, the package open.

If it can't pass through customs, and if it came through a shipping agent designated by R2D/Respiro and not re-shipped, then the seller should take responsibility and refund you.
I don't claim to know Spain's customs procedures, but it sounds a lot like Mexico. When in the process did you have to make a declaration of the contents? That should have already been taken care of by the shipper.

In Spain you have to make a declaration and show other documents if the cost is more than 150 euros. They ask you some questions, I don't know but now I don't think changing your declaration is good. I suppose in the end I'll receive the product, but if they open it they'll ruin it.
Hard to tell ..... one of the reasons I'm being particular about the mask setup. My final ReBreather version also has a few safety enhancements .... will be posting it in a week or so.
See how the pic shows a plastic bag ... it will be sealed inside the outer cover And you have to open the plastic bag to use. If the plastic bag is opened, need to use it or reseal it within 3-5 days

Well i don't have one so I can't say.. it's how I interpreted it from the pictures and instructions? Either way if there's a sealed plastic bag, customs will know unsealing it may cause issues. Unless they suspected drugs or explosives i doubt they'd open it.
The main reason you'd open the plastic bag is to practice with the Debreather before actually using it for suicide, learning how to put it on, familiarizing yourself with it, getting comfortable with it on your face and so forth.

Lol, they could also have written "opening this bag too long before use could result in failure in reaching asphyxiation", so that during shipping no one would be tempted to check the content :D
If I were on the EI forum, this is what I would post and hope PN would answer there:
"SN is not peaceful, but if one survives, they can fully recover. The ReBreather is peaceful, but if it fails or if one is rescued, what will be the effects? Will there be brain or organ damage?"
@imroch, has anyone asked this on the EI forum? (I can't ever seem to tag imroch, am I misspelling this user's name?)
@enjolras, have you already provided an answer to this on this thread?
Has anyone answered this on this thread and I overlooked it?
I have been followed here by there.. Banned, for a month, more details, but I could get into trouble posting this here, right now. I would say no one should do what someone else suggests.. if you do.. you are risking your name and membership. Forever.
From different feedback than @Imroch, the EI forum doesn't appear too open minded. Friendly fire is unwelcomed. We're expected to keep novel interrogations and critical thinking quiet. My trust in every advice "outside the norm" is very downgraded. I wouldn't count on fresh expertise there any longer. I believe that all there is to know and little to rely on, is often the hesitation that made its way in official form already, which speaks volume.
@GoodPesonEffed it remains an enigma, though unlikely. In practice, I did find a huge collection of exit bag successes (I'm stupid I didn't post the most relevant compilation. I don't know if I'll find it again - have hundreds of tabs opened, some get closed. I'll try). Only one survival report without sequel, due to being rescued in due time (supposedly). Plus a few hypothetical (concerned about the source) interruptions (ripping the bag off), that I'd strongly imagine voluntary (I'm rejecting the idea, from odds, of a semi-conscious effective will to interfere. It must be either a peaceful change of mind, or maybe the surprise, in control, of discomfort, which cannot be ruled out completely, imho). In theory, irreversible brain damage cannot be excluded, but the timeframe window when help should be given, before death, would be short and unlucky. I rather believe that past a threshold, there's no going back. Damn high reliability of no damage, just not a 10 (considering external circumstances & fuck ups). Peacefulness of symptoms, personally I'm less sure, not guaranteed, but rare enough, maybe 8.5-9 nonetheless. From reading only, that's where I'm at. Still, not completely confident due to the disgrace to compare apples to oranges.

I did some research on brain injury due to nitrogen, found this. My impression is that if the ReBreather process is interrupted when it's gone past mere nitrogen intoxication, there can be permanent brain damage. I haven't researched the impacts on lungs and heart.
Anoxic and Hypoxic brain injuries occur when the brain is deprived of oxygen. Learn more about these brain injuries from Shepherd Center.

Also, I read an article about nitrogen narcosis (intoxication) for SCUBA divers. The effects were what @enjolras shared on this thread for pilot training. I noted that a possible symptom is hallucinating -- some have attacked their dive buddies, tried adjusting octopi instead of their equipment, heard fish talking, etc. So this makes me concerned that if one is experiencing the narcosis and hasn't yet lost consciousness, they may hallucinate and do something to stop the ctb, or worse, something that draws attention. From reading the SCUBA article, though, it seems there is not a problem with recovery from nitrogen narcosis.
Understand what nitrogen narcosis is, its symptoms and the treatment required for it. This is something deep water scuba divers should know.

This medical jourmal article was about a Korean man who survived a nitrogen gas attempt - not a debreather - and had brain damage. He had been unconscious for several hours after the attempt, and a few days later went to the hospital with physical symptoms caused by brain damage.
I read the previously shared medical journal article with the 10 successful assisted debreather ctb's, and I understand from listening to a Vimeo presentation by Richard that the ReBreather was designed to improve on the old design and allow ctb without assistance. But no one has tested this product, and who the eff wants to be a guinea pig for potential brain damage? I really want the peaceful passing it's meant to provide, but what is the risk?
@enjolras, the ReBreather method isn't quite the same as inhaling gas from a tank of nitrogen. What is your opinion on the information I've gathered here? Right now I'm feeling scared of the ReBreather method and wondering if I could tough out the effects of SN with the propanolol potentiator, knowing that the method is certain to be successful as I won't be interrupted. With the ReBreather, I also won't be interrupted, but I am afraid of interrupting myself such as during possible hallucinations, or the method somehow not completing and I end up with brain damage.

This is also my concern. When I am semi conscious what will I do? Will my innate survival mechanism try and have me rip it off? The other possibility is tying yourself up.

Brain damage is the huge concern, but I don't think your brain cells begim to die when you're semiunconscious, but minutes later of getting unconsciouss.

I went back to the R2D website, it has more information now than it did before. Maybe it said this in particular before, and maybe it's been stated on this thread, but the cause of death is hypoxia. I've gotten confused about mentions of nitrogen, but I get the impression this method is not like using nitrogen gas, so I wanted to clear that up, I don't want to spread disinformation.
I'd recommend to anyone who is concerned to research hypoxic brain injury. The first link in the quoted text was relevant.
It's also important to note that hypoxic brain injuries can lead to seizure, coma, or death. Of course the goal for us is death, but I'm thinking it might be beneficial to take diazepam before doing this method.
If one survives a hypoxic brain injury, the prognosis is not good. Not trying to cause fear, trying to make an informed decision and help others do the same. Definitely suggest doing your research. There's lot of information out there about this type of brain injury.

We need EI info. I'm 39. Imroch, your provided us with valuable info, but you should have posted here with a different name from EI forum. It's normal they don't want to be associated with a no-medic suicide forum they don't lead.

In the 2010 study states that some patients took benzos. Besides, someone posted here sn answer from Richard Avocet saying that benzos where recommended. I don't see why, but benzos are available.
