Lots of variables going on here. Potency and possible cross tolerance to something else he was taking are the biggest. Or he's just a straight up bullshitter we won't ever know.

It can happen. I've read an article about a case of an assistant from Exit Switzerland who attempted to take her life with N powder. Apparently she took it without dissolving it in water first and she was found quickly by other people who were in her apartment. They called the emergency service, which were quick enough to pump out her stomach and prevent her from dying. She was in a coma for 3 weeks and suffered from cardial arrest twice. They were about to turn off the life support when she finally woke up. She was unable to speak and walk at first. The article I've read talked about a high risk of brain damage. So yeah, it can happen. Rarely. And it only ever happens if people manage to find and save you in time. Just make sure you're alone for a couple of hours.
