Hi everyone- I've read a bunch of threads on drowning and many people mention adding weights. Is this necessary? I'm underweight and can't swim (at all). If just "walk into the ocean" as they say, wouldn't I drown easily without weights? I plan to take benzos and drink alcohol prior to help me relax. Thanks in advance.

Hey Guest,
We will never comply with any of OFCOM's demands or any other nations censorious demands for that matter. We will only follow the laws of the land of which our server is located, which is the US.
Any demands for censorship or requests to comply with the law outside of the US will be promptly ignored.
No foreign laws or pressure will make us comply with anti-censorship laws and we will protect the speech of our members, regardless of where they might live in the world. If that means being blocked in the UK, so be it. We would advise that any UK member gets a VPN to browse the site, or use TOR.
However, today, we stand up these these governments that want to bully or censor this website.
Fuck OFCOM, and fuck any media organization or group that think it's cool or fun to stalk or bully people that suffering in this world.
Edit: We also wanted to address the veiled threats made against a staff member in the UK by the BBC in the news today. We are undeterred by any threats, intimination, by the BBC or by any other groups dedicated to doxxing and harassing our staff and members. Journalists from the BBC, CTV, Kansas Star, Daily Mail and many other outlets have continuiously ignored the fact that many of the people that they're interviewing (such as @leelfc84 on Twitter/X) and propping up are the same people posting addresses of staff members and our founders on social media. We show them proof of this and they ignore it and don't address it.They're all just as evil as each other, and should be treated accordingly. They do not care about the safety of our staff members, founders, or administrators, or even members, so why would they care about you?
Now that we have your attention, journalists, will you ever address this? You've given these evil people interviews, and free press.

I imagine it's because your body would float after you've drowned? Maybe it could go back to the shore where you could be saved?
I was thinking it would actually be better to be found eventually - my family would probably want to be able to visit me in the cemetery, gosh what a morbid thing to say. I plan to do it in a secluded area to avoid being "rescued".

I've not researched drowning much, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I'd imagine weights serve two purposes. One as discussed already to help keep your body from being easily found / rescued. The second is to counteract SI. Even if you don't know how to swim, SI will often kick in and you will likely try, and it's not overly complicated to figure out how to doggy paddle and save yourself. Weights make that harder to overcome.
Thank you, that makes sense. I might carry a full backpack with me as a precaution. Hopefully I'll be heavily sedated to help overcome that bloody SI I keep reading about 
it does not matter if you aren't able to swim. Even a person that cannot swim would instinctively try to stay afloat and panic.
Weights are needed to avoid that there are chances that the person can rescue themselves, but should be added to the right places of the body and they should have enough density.
I've been thinking about this (otherwise being a good swimmer, I'd rescue myself). But I'm not encouraged by the discomfort of getting water into my lungs and panicking for the lack of air.

From what I've read the discomfort is very short lived, followed by a very peaceful feeling. I'm in Australia - it's very hard to get access to the methods described in the PPH, so drowning seems to be the easiest and most reliable option.
