Method Sodium Azide

[carrie]

Why don't we talk about sodium azide as a means to ctb. It seems more lethal than SN.

Eating as little as 50 milligrams (less than two-thousandths of an ounce) of sodium azide can lead to collapse and a coma-like state within five minutes as blood pressure plummets and heart rate skyrockets. Ingest a few grams, and death occurs within 40 minutes.

Sodium Azide in Car Airbags Poses Growing Environmental Hazard, UA Scientist Says

Automobile airbags use a chemical compound that is so toxic that even small amounts can kill. Yet trucks loaded with hundreds of pounds of sodium azide routinely travel the nation's highways, and discarded airbags sit like environmental time bombs in the nation's auto junkyards, a University of...

Even if it is very lethal and more reliable than SN, it isn't a 100% guaranteed death, and that worries me because if you survive with Sodium Azide you will, not may, suffer brain damage. With SN if you survive, you are much more likely to have little to no long-term damage. It is also more painful than SN, apparently causing a massive headache. I also don't know where to get Sodium Azide, it seems harder to acquire it than SN, and some precautions are required when you handle it. I think these are the main reasons this substance isn't discussed much here.

The only advantage SA has over SN is there is no antidote to it.

SA isn't discussed as often because it's far more dangerous. It's explosive and it emits a toxic gas when ingested. The only upside is there's no cure as mentioned by @SmellyRat.
