Method Japanese Yew Seeds

[exsanguinated]

I am considering using Japanese Yew Seeds and was wondering if anyone has done research on them before. Apparently only a few can cause death in as little as a half hour. I was able to buy 30 seeds from Walmart so it's very easy to acquire. My only concern is 30 seeds not being enough.

General rule of thumb for plant methods is that they are highly unreliable. You never know how much poisonous compound is in each seed/leaf/root.There are numerous threads here from people experimenting with different plants (English yes included) and no one has come up with anything that can kill.

Yew didn't work for me I tried twice, first time was a tea but it tasted awful and i didn't finish it. I got a few palpitations and fell asleep. The next time I tried, I dried 100g of leaves, powdered it and put it in gel capsules. Worked even less than the tea, I got two palpitations. That's it but ever since then ive been having what feels like muscle spasms in my heart. I have since found out that I might have celiac disease so that may have effected how I absorbed the poison. I don't think thats enough seeds to do the job though unfortunately

We have this thread about taxus baccata.
Unfortunately I'm not aware of differences between taxus baccata and taxus cuspidata.
