Discussion Plant toxicity

[Mistress Death]

I have been studying the plant Actaea pachypoda (white doll's eye) and have found that the berries are highly toxic and can cause an immediate sedative effect on the heart. However, the berries will also causes severe burning in the throat, but I am unsure about the seeds. Research says that all parts are toxic and that a minimal amount of berries is lethal, but I can find nothing about the lethality of the seeds. Any help and information about the ld50 of the seeds would be most helpful.

But where will you get the berries from if it works?

 

[Mistress Death]

I can't find the berries anywhere, I can only find the seeds. That's why I am asking this community if they know of the toxicity/ld50 of the seeds.

 

[JazzyWolfWhistle]

Got it.

What if you plant the seeds and grew the plant so you could eat the berries?

That could work, it would be very time consuming though

Looks like a long ctb attempt if you ask me. Growing a plant takes time. Especially if the climate isn't optimal.

@Mistress Death Look for examples of other people trying it as a ctb attempt. If there are none you are taking an unknown risk.

I've done so much research over the past couple of years and thorough research on this site and it seems like there is no simple easy fast guaranteed way to die. Using a gun is not 100% certain. If I were to use a gun, the most comfortable place would be the temple, but that most certainly isn't guaranteed. Extracting taxine from yew is extensive and thus I am a bit lost in finding a comfortable way to go. I know no method with me completely comfortable and I'm ok with that, but I just wish I could find a good solid method.

Actaea is easy to grow. But keep in mind that plant toxins like Colchicum, Convallaria and others can lead to a prolonged and cruel death.
There are reports every year about Convallaria getting mistaken for Allium ursinum. Maybe you find more on the net about that.

Do you know of a plant or chemical substance that is easy to obtain and that does not cause vomiting? I have antiemetics, but I really do not like vomiting. Oh and I'd rather my heart stop as opposed to dying from respiratory paralysis, or just fading into unconsciousness would be great. Or something super fast and easy to acquire. And yeah, I know what I'm asking for is pretty much the holy grail of methods and it's what everyone else is looking for too. Just point me the in right direction and I'll take it from there.

No, sorry.

I don't think there are any guaranteed ways to die, it's just a matter of finding something you can carry out and lowering chances of failure as much as possible. It's also important to be 100% certain of your decision to ctb but I'm sure you've considered this already.

Another user linked me this book a few days ago: https://www.scribd.com/book/355018049 , perhaps you'll find it useful?

An interesting read, but even though it was mildly specific, it wasn't specific enough. Thanks.

I'm afraid there's no "easy button" for death. No more coal gas (with carbon monoxide) in England since Sylvia Plath's era, no more running down to the corner for laudanum, and so forth. We all have work to do.

Think of it this way: life has been hard, it isn't a surprise that death will be as well.

Or something super fast and easy to acquire.

If you live in Europe - its common yew. Highly toxic with no antidote available. The foliage highest toxicity is in winter.
