Swallow the seeds after brewing? 🤔
I guess, but the last person who did that puked.

Unless you mean drink the alcoholic tea…
Wut so the yew seeds need to be specially prepared using this method and have alcohol added in order to be effective, and I cannot just consume them simply crushed like most medical cases describe?

You can eat them, but you might not be able to keep it down. And that's especially the case if you're consuming a huge quantity of seeds.

I know for sure it won't be that easy… and eating it like that may produce mixed results in the speed of death. That said, I suggest you at least make sure to take datura inoxia as an antiemetic. 10-20 seeds.

I don't know if this is relevant or not but i tried ctb with 20 yew seeds i bought online a few months back.
I simply crushed them they release a small amount of milky oil like substance and put them into a freshly brewed cherry tea and let it
rest for half an hour. Then i stirred it for a while and drank about 3/4 of the cup. I then lay down in bed anticipating the end and it felt
curious i don't know how to describe exactly or if i was just imagining it due to the research of the symptoms before hand.
I guess half an hour after laying down i was asleep no overly unpleasent feelings. I was really disapointed when i woke up the next morning
but luckily i only had a strange bittersweet taste in my mouth for 2-3 days and felt quite weak and lightheaded for the first day.
I hope this helps some of you in making up your mind. I am not sure if i will try this again with a higher dose.

Impressive how 20 seeds do that… It kinda does give you a "high" feeling.

I've made a concentrated tincture of 200 grams of yew seeds and when I took 1/30th of the full dose, I felt all sorts of strange.

Yes it seems the problem is to be certain about the correct dosage but i think personally that it is still safer then most other natural poisons in a way because it has not a high chance to give you brain damage if not successfull. I've read an article of a man from the UK who did it with the needels gathered from a cemetery and succeeded.

Found out about this method in January and since then I've planned to do it sometimes this year. To me, reading about it, researching it, it seemed pretty darn perfect. Medical journals, reports, etc, everything seem to back it up. I legit couldn't believe I'd stumbled across this method and that no one else seems to be talking about it.

Then I came on this website and now it's made me wavy about it. I'm no longer so sure. That being said, it still seems like a pretty decent method. I used to think 100 seeds would be enough and my intention was to buy the seeds (already bought hundreds by this point), crush them up, put them in ice cream (I've had the ice cream in the freezer for months waiting), eat them as fast as I can and then lay in bed and wait to fall unconscious and finally be free of existence. I've even done a couple of 'trial runs', where I just didn't end up eating it for some reason.... Got everything prepared and then just didn't eat it. Not sure why.

But anyway, seemingly, I guess this wouldn't be enough from what I'm reading here? Tbf though, I'm skinny, English and have a heart condition so I think I'm sort of the best condition for this method to succeed, right?

It seems like the best method for me, I guess all I need to amend is upping the dosage of seeds? But I'm curious about your thoughts.

Hahahaha... MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!
The yew is an underrated method... Having said that, theres been some misinformation on the web that would leave people disappointed if they were to try it. In other words, you have to do it right, lest you'll unlikely succeed.

It's probably intuition. I've had that same experience when I bought 120 seeds thinking I had 4 times the lethal amount, but would realize that was far from enough. Bought another 240 only to realize that I've barely reached the low-end lethal dose and I needed more [24 seeds (1.44 g)/kg]. You've made a good call; it would've been a waste of seeds otherwise.

I'd say so. If you had a beta blocker, it'd help a lot.

For one, if I were to make a suggestion (besides the dosage which I've mentioned above), I'd recommend making a tincture or an alcoholic extraction. It allows for quicker absorption, which leads to a quicker death.

Depending on what method you'll use for extracting, you'll either have a pleasant tasting product that'll be free from most undesirables,

or a bitter abomination that you may or may not be able to keep down.

ONE MORE THING: Grab the scopolamine tablets (1 or 2 should suffice), or buy some datura inoxia seeds (10 or 20). They're what should help with vomiting. Someone's tried it with others like meto and it didn't work.

No. It's supposed to be relatively peaceful.

The only problem is that if you simply just eat the leaves or seeds, you may experience a lot of variables that may impede your death or... cause you to experience some undesirable symptoms. It may be painless or there's some mild discomfort in your stomach, but peaceful... But... you'll want to try eliminating or minimizing the variables as much as you can... like removing the oils (gastrointestinal distress), ephedrine (counters taxine's bradycardic effect), tannins (taste and possible gastric discomfort, and potentially organ damage), formic acid (same as the tannins).

The tannins and formic acids aren't necessary to remove, but... it's recommended to get rid of it if you want to ensure things go smoothly.

Oils of yew: soluble in oils (petroleum), alcohol, acetone, insoluble in water (essential oil can be vaporized cooking in hot water)

Ephedrine: soluble in alcohol, Acetone, water, and oils (petroleum).

Tannins and formic acid: soluble in water, throw a base in it and it'll be very soluble, and insoluble in anhydrous alcohol/acetone.

Taxine: soluble in alcohol, acetone, dcm, ether, etc, and practically insoluble in water and oil.

Interesting thanks for sharing yeah we have spoke a couple of times about it I was just curious. I know there's not really a good way of doing this but how would you compare it to sodium nitrite?

Reliabilitywise? That depends. If it's in extraction form, it's gonna be relatively reliable.

Peacefulness? At worst, like SN. At best, kinda like nembutal but with a stoned feeling.

It's very difficult to ascertain the exact amount of anything you need in this situation when you have variability of both the plant and the body's ability to absorb. Both of those things will vary for person to person based on biology and the plant is the same, soil conditions, light and genetics determine what the plants actual levels will be. It's best to find products made from something or buy the equipment needed to accurately measure extraction.

Thank you very much! I was worried I'd get no replies so I really appreciate your detailed advice! :) Thank you for sharing pictures of what the tincture should look like!

Out of curiosity, I've heard that making a tincture is difficult to do if you don't have a good private space of your own. Is this true? I feel like if I tried to make one (though I don't really know much about the process, tbf) it'd be very easy for it to get discovered, or for there to be dangerous fumes. I might just be being paranoid though....

But, in case I'm unable to make the tincture, if I get enough seeds that should suffice as a last resort, I guess? If it's [24 seeds (1.44 g)/kg] iirc I think I weighed 50kg when last weighed at the hospital, though I'm pretty bad with measurements. So I guess 50 x 24 = 1200 so I presume I'd need at least 1200 seeds? I can see why it'd be better to make a tincture, I do wonder if I'd be able to eat that many crushed seeds in one go.

I'll keep in mind to get the other tablets, the beta blocker, etc, as well too, hadn't thought about those! I assume these are all to be taken just before consuming the Yew seeds?

Thank you again for your assistance, I appreciate it immensely! :) Sorry for posting so many questions and concerns!

Yes... I'd say you're quite right, especially if someone you live with has a sensitive nose. It didn't stop me, of course... when it came to evaporating the solvent, I did it either outside or in the garage (when I lived with my grandparents and it's not raining), or my own bedroom with the windows open and the doors closed to minimize the fumes leaking in the room. If you have an exhaust fan, that'd help immensely. Amd it's been easier since I bought myself a Buckner funnel and was able to vacuum drain the solvent from the material, at least for the initial defat step.
Oven cooking was rather a tricky process as if you're drying leaves, it stinks.

Having said that, there is one good solvent you can use that doesn't stink up the house: 95% ethanol or everclear. Though you still have the other steps to worry about, and the everclear is pretty expensive.

But, in case I'm unable to make the tincture, if I get enough seeds that should suffice as a last resort, I guess? If it's [24 seeds (1.44 g)/kg] iirc I think I weighed 50kg when last weighed at the hospital, though I'm pretty bad with measurements.

In a previous comment, there is Daniela's guide... though it would had to be used quickly before it expires...

Luckily... it's easy to know the yews toxicity levels as they vary throughout the year, seasonally. Taxine is highest in the winter, and lowest in the fall. The seeds hold up to 9.2 mg per gram, and the leaves hold between 5-20 mg per gram. Being that it's October, it's around 10 mg/g. The dosage required is already mentioned, which I'd say go overkill.

Having said that, the extraction can be a little complicated depending on the routes you take. BUT... That's the fun part.

Ah thank you, I've saved it now. :) Out of curiosity, what do you mean 'it would had to be used quickly before it expires'? The tincture? It had a short date before the toxicity is reduced?

I heard this, about the varying toxicity of the seeds and this is something I've always kept in mind, but I found it difficult to find information regarding toxicity and how it works etc. I heard they're most toxic in winter, like you said, but I'm buying them from online. Do you think that's risky considering I can't really know when the seeds are from (if that makes sense) or does it not matter and as long as I have them in October the taxine will be highest, even if I bought them months before?

So like when you say it's highest in October in winter, do you mean for when the seeds are picked from the tree, or just in general, even seperated from the tree, the seeds will still gain highest toxicity in winter, even if they were picked in, say, summer? (Not that that'd be a good idea anyway, I assume the quicker to consume them the better, just curious about how it works.)

There's been a few occasions this year where I had 'trial runs' and each time I would buy 100 'fresh' seeds just in case the toxicity of the previous ones I'd bought had 'run out', if that makes sense. I didn't think that would necessarily be the case (i.e. the seeds now being useless after a month) but I didn't want to take the risk and couldn't find much information on them.

If I recall correctly (which I might not be), I read somewhere that the seeds can still be planted after 2 years from their separation from the tree, so I had it in my head that they'd probably still be toxic until 2 years or so, but I'm really not certain how it works and couldn't find much information about it.

Thanks again for your intense knowledge on this subject, I feel really grateful to have found a place where people smarter than I know about this stuff! :) And again sorry for taking a long time replying.

Sure thing! And no worries; I'm pretty busy myself.

Yes they would.
Ah thank you, I've saved it now. :) Out of curiosity, what do you mean 'it would had to be used quickly before it expires'? The tincture? It had a short date before the toxicity is reduced?
If you're following Daniela's basic recipe with 10 percent alcohol, it will have a short shelf life. The main concern is that it's susceptible to bacteria and mold growth.

If you're doing the tincture, you won't need to worry about it, provided you use at least 40 percent alcohol; it can be stored for years.
I heard this, about the varying toxicity of the seeds and this is something I've always kept in mind, but I found it difficult to find information regarding toxicity and how it works etc. I heard they're most toxic in winter, like you said, but I'm buying them from online.
The leaves are... but you might wanna look at ... this: https://books.google.com/books?id=R... of the seed; the red aril is edible.&f=false

Do you think that's risky considering I can't really know when the seeds are from (if that makes sense) or does it not matter and as long as I have them in October the taxine will be highest, even if I bought them months before?
I'd say you're fine, if you've stored them properly.
So like when you say it's highest in October in winter, do you mean for when the seeds are picked from the tree, or just in general, even seperated from the tree, the seeds will still gain highest toxicity in winter, even if they were picked in, say, summer? (Not that that'd be a good idea anyway, I assume the quicker to consume them the better, just curious about how it works.)
Regarding October, I meant that it's kinda in the middle between the summer andnwinter concentrations. It becomes more potent later in the year, peaking in January, but that's the case with leaves. Regarding seeds, I'd imagine the concentration is just 0.92% on average (harvested in the fall before they fall off the tree or get eaten by birds).

I'm getting a little too confused on the last part, but no... once they're picked, the concentration remains at a constant. Though, I feel that based on experiences with extracting, 0.5% - 0.92% is the variable of the season. So, I guess treat it as you would thr leaves. If it's later in the year, it'll peak at just 0.92.
There's been a few occasions this year where I had 'trial runs' and each time I would buy 100 'fresh' seeds just in case the toxicity of the previous ones I'd bought had 'run out', if that makes sense. I didn't think that would necessarily be the case (i.e. the seeds now being useless after a month) but I didn't want to take the risk and couldn't find much information on them.
I've once used seeds after two months and I don't think there was much of a loss in potency. But the sooner you use it, the better.
If I recall correctly (which I might not be), I read somewhere that the seeds can still be planted after 2 years from their separation from the tree, so I had it in my head that they'd probably still be toxic until 2 years or so, but I'm really not certain how it works and couldn't find much information about it.
Probably, though I think it might require you to either store it in an airtight container, freeze it, or both. Room temperature and I'm pretty sure it'll degrade after a few months.

Cool dark place, though if you want to store it for longer, put them in the freezer, perhaps in a sealed airtight container or bag.

I'll be ready! Tag me and I'll be summoned.

@DetachedDreamer97 Hey sorry to bother you so soon again, seems I might be needing this sooner than I thought so I just wanted to check something quickly. So, if I bought 1200 seeds, that's all I'd need right? And I wouldn't need to replace them, they won't decrease in toxicity or anything like that, they'll be good even if I don't use them for a couple of years, whether I eat them directly or make the tincture? I just want to make sure cause it's gonna be quite expensive so I want to know if I can safely buy them now or if I should wait.

Thanks.

No need to feel sorry. My schedule isn't too busy... apart from dozing off constantly...

Provided you weigh 50 kg or less... 1200 is 4 times the lethal dosage for someone who weighs 50kg. You could probably get by with just 2 times the lethal dose, but the more the better. Another thing: you might also wanna check the weight.
And I wouldn't need to replace them, they won't decrease in toxicity or anything like that, they'll be good even if I don't use them for a couple of years, whether I eat them directly or make the tincture?
If you're going to save them for a couple of years, freeze them in an airtight container. But yeah.

Honestly, up to you. But if you can, look for the plant and gather leaves. Seeds may be good, but they have a lot of fatty oil which can make extracting a bit difficult without defatting first.
No problem! 💙

Thank you again for your reply! We're really lucky to have someone so knowledgeable on this subject. :)

Sorry about asking that, I just realised you already kind of answered that above, I was kind of panicked when I wrote that message yesterday.

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'm going to the Doctor on Monday so I'll see if I can get weighed there to make sure.
if you can, look for the plant and gather leaves.
I think there might actually be some yew trees near where I live. I am slightly concerned people might think it's weird or wrong if they see someone to just randomly be taking seeds of it though. Also, I just realised small Taxus Baccata trees seem to be available to buy online, I wonder if these leaves would work? And they seem very cheap, way cheaper than getting the seeds. Then again depends on how many I'd need.

I think you recommended 2 g/kg for leaves previously so, assuming for now 50kg- hm, wait, actually that might be tricky to work out. Do you have any recommendations on figuring out how many leaves I'll need?

Seeds may be good, but they have a lot of fatty oil which can make extracting a bit difficult without defatting first.
I looked into defatting the seeds, so is my understanding correct that you have to buy Heptane (found results like 'Heptane 99.5% ACS' and 'Heptane -1LTR' I assume these would be good?), put the seeds in a glass jar, pour the heptane in and boil the jar on a gas stove constantly for many hours (any suggestions how long?) and do this 5 times, until the liquid looks pale? Then filter it through a coffee filter (a metal one I assume?) and, as you said in a previous post 'allow the seeds to dry on a sheet of parchment paper in a cookie tray.'.

Sorry, I'm very specific about knowing exactly the steps I'm going to do so I don't make an error.

One final question I thought of, do you have any idea why this message isn't more widely talked about? I've seen multiple posts in this forum specifically asking about methods in the UK, which naturally are hard to come across, and yet this method is never mentioned for some reason.

Thank you again for your help! I can not express enough what it means and I hope you're doing well! 💙

Not just that, but also weigh the seeds as well; The weight of each seed tends to be inconsistent. Won't say it's completely necessary, but... it is recommended.

I'd say go for it, perhaps unless it's in other people's yard. If it's out in a park or somewhere in a public place by the road, take that hike and start harvesting. Also don't waste money on the tiny plants, it's rather inefficient and will require a lot of money to get the right dose, plus... I also believe they're not as toxic.

I tend to go out and collect from the hospital 3 miles away, at the perfect time when there's little traffic (after 8-9 pm). I timed my trip rather perfectly this time around. It helps to study the place and determine when the rush hour begins and ends, but late evening is better because it tends to be dark out.
I think you recommended 2 g/kg for leaves previously so, assuming for now 50kg- hm, wait, actually that might be tricky to work out. Do you have any recommendations on figuring out how many leaves I'll need?
If it helps, I'd say grab at least 3 or 4 decent-sized branches.

Not exactly... Depending on how you go about it, you'll probably need either 2-3 litres of heptane. For me, it takes at least 5 pulls to get a decent amount of oil out, though I do as much as I can to remove almost all of it.

Definitely avoid boiling it on the stove though; you may just blow yourself up. I just extract at room temperature, shaking at least once a day and letting it settle over a period of one or two days. I have a video on that. This is just a pull, but after each pull, you do as I do or almost.

No sweat. You wanna get this right. I understand.

Because people tend to have a thung for things like SN, and things mentioned in the PPEH, and sadly, when people do mention the yews ir anything plant related, or something obscure, but old school, it gets shut down, because most peoole don't want to try. I often hear people saying, "ThE yEW is tErriBle. It's too hard..."

But... that's just my take, and I have a bias.

Sure thing! Hope I replied coherently; I noticed I'm starting to lose focus and doze off. 💙
