How many crushed cherry pits should I eat? Is it 30 or more?

I live in the US, a country that doesn't sell raw bitter almonds. What online store sells them?

You're not being annoying. Your post probably got buried under by other posts.

From what I've seen, cyanide as a method hasn't really been successful. There isn't a definite amount of cherry pits or raw bitter almonds that you need to ingest to ctb.

I wouldn't go down this path, there's a few Chinese marketplaces that sell raw bitter almonds (not sure if it's legitimate), but it's almost always sold in bulk. Up to $2,000. The amygdalin in raw bitter almonds is considered dangerous, I don't think it's necessarily outlawed, but it might be regulated in certain places. There's also talks about it being painful and agonizing. Is it true? I really have no clue, this method isn't tested or proven to work. I know cyanide as a poison kills and works, but getting that cyanide through cherry pits or raw bitter almonds is a different case. People get cyanide by making it in a lab, much much different than pits and bitter almonds. You don't often hear about people dying because they ate a huge amount of cherry pits.

agree. there's a huge amount of literature on committing suicide. And it's been distilled into the most effective options in publications like PPEH. So if it's not in there or other similar publications, I think there's a good reason!

I've noticed on this website that from time to time supposed "new methods" get "discovered" and gain a lot of interest for a little while and then fade again, but typically they're non methods.

if you have access to the search bar yet look up "bitter almonds" or "cherry pits". often, the posts go nowhere. they're mostly theoretical because people prefer proven methods. i think you would just throw them up if you ate them by themselves instead of synthesizing cyanide with a lab kit.

Yes, I suspect it's one of those methods where the body's in built mechanisms stop you.... like you can apparently kill yourself by drinking a lot of soy sauce..... 'cept that you wouldn't be able to drink the required quantity because it's so salty and your body wouldn't let you do it.

So is eating cherry pits or bitter almonds not a good method? How do I synthesize cyanide with a lab kit? If this method doesn't work, what else can I do to CTB? (no SN and hangings)

I think the point is that you would have to eat an enormous amount to get a fatal dose, and at that point, your body would just be throwing it up.

There are pinned posts about methods, I think it goes against the rules of the site to make suggestions.

Suggest you read PPEH and other guides/books ont he topic mentioned on this site.

You may want to look into apple seeds. Just my two cents. Basically, pretty much all commercial apple juice at the store has traces of cyanide, it comes from the seeds.

But my actual advice is not to do this whatsoever because cyanide poisoning is very long and painful.

Has anyone successfully die from eating crushed cherry pits or raw bitter almonds?

It's literally on the thread of non-methods that should not be attempted, if you scroll down to see @ladylazarus4's contribution. Another member kept attempting & failing with this a few months ago, but idk their username. This is what the informational pinned threads are on the site for, people! To be read & learned from, not to be ignored…

There have been a few news reports of people supposedly doing this, but no one here has ever successfully done this.

I'm getting this funny feeling you didn't know the pinned threads existed until now.

Lol there's no need to apologize to me, but as the saying goes, the person who doesn't read has no advantage over the person who can't read. Knowledge is power, everything you need to know about how to CTB is right at your fingertips (and has been this whole time).

I see. Thank you for informing me. 👍
