Of course, from a purely physical point of view, it is possible to introduce 15 or 20 grams of heroin into your body, even if the purity is only 7-10%. The problem is that, in those 15-20 grams, there would still be 1-2 grams of active ingredient, a quantity that far exceeds the lethal threshold for anyone, including consumers with a high tolerance. The idea that the body always manages to "expel" the substance, whether rectally or intravenously, is unfounded: in intravenous administration, the drug enters directly into the bloodstream and cannot be rejected; rectally, even if partial elimination may occur, such a massive dose is still absorbed sufficiently to cause an overdose. In essence, yes, physically introducing that quantity is possible, but there is no defense reflex capable of avoiding the risk of death. Obviously this is the worst case scenario, with very low purity and without considering additions of other opioids often present in the batches.
I wouldn't take it for granted that getting SN is extremely easier. the distribution channels of sodium nitrite are now much more controlled than before. Let's say that it is still a legal substance and that in any case it is not subject to checks by the police, even if cases have occurred. however, when intercepted, it cannot be ruled out that a person will still be referred to psychiatry or suicide support centres. For this and other reasons it is no longer worrying to obtain heroin as a user because the user ultimately does not incur the risks of the distributor or call him a dealer. The fact that being found with heroin means the impossibility of having access to weapons in the future is also valid for sodium nitrite if it is ascertained that it was ordered for the purpose of suicide. Furthermore, I believe that in order to get caught it is less easy to go to a drug dealer than to order sodium nitrite online, with all the traceability that this entails. I have a complete disagreement on whether SN is as peaceful as heroin. death from heroin overdose is a hundred thousand times better than what happens in the death process with sodium nitrite.
But that's an awful lot of liquid to be practically injected even IM. It would take several syringes. It's a bit infeasible. By the time you got to your last syringe you would be completely out of it if not much sooner.
