Hydrogen Cyanide Gas

[FlizzyBizzy]

I want to use cyanide to kill myself due to its very lethal effects, but Im struggling to find a source. Ive recently came across hydrogen cyanide gas in a canister though that I think I can buy without being a business owner. So my question is: Does anyone know whether hydrogen cyanide gas is a quick or at least reliable way to CTB? (In the sense it would be very hard to save me once I take a couple of huffs). This is important for me, as Ive tried to end myself before by taking a chemical well over the lethal dose, but I was easily "saved."

Hopefully, you can find some of the answers you seek in these threads.

I think inert gas/N2 would much more peaceful and painless than inhaling HCN. Cyanide / HCN is also very toxic for others who will find you and who have to deal with your corps. Gas chamber executions aren't peaceful.

HCN (prussic acid) is a volatile clear to pale blue liquid at room temperature. Boiling point is around 26C. Most HCN supplied in pressurised cylinders is "calibration gas" containing a specific ppm of HCN in a carrier gas, normally nitrogen or air. Typical grades are 1-25ppm. They are used for "bump" testing gas sensors with a known concentration of a given target gas. HCN needs to be above 50ppm to pose an immediate hazard. From Wikipedia:

A hydrogen cyanide concentration of 100–200 ppm in breathing air will kill a human within 10 to 60 minutes.[69] A hydrogen cyanide concentration of 2000 ppm (about 2380 mg/m3) will kill a human in about one minute.[69]

A calibration cylinder won't get you anywhere near those concentrations if that's what you have access to.
