opposing point of view? Um any of the failures reported on this site are an indication that one does not always expire peacefully after passing out in 20 minutes. There are Accounts of people who did not survive but did not expire after 20 minutes.
here is one of the common threads of SN: Those that don't succeed don't seem to have any long term damage, and, other than nausea And vomiting, most don't report it as being terribly discomfortable.
This calculus changes if one aspirates a Reactive or concentrated solution. It's not pleasant. If you have seen it, you know it's not pleasant. Posters have said they don't care if they aspirate if unconscious. Fair enough. The issue is that the sedatives being listed may not keep one unconscious. Want to spend your last 10 minutes vomiting and trying to cough the fire out of your lungs? Cool, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Even worse, if it is a fail, you turn a method that doesn't seem to have long term issues into one that can greatly worsen one's situation.
It's almost like saying I want a peaceful cbt, so I'm going to take Xanax, tie a rope around my neck, and then wait until I pass out to fall. You may black out, fall off the stool, and then realize you were not getting quite as peaceful a ctb as expected. Said another way, drinking drano can be fatal but horribly painful. You don't get around that by plugging Xanax
can this goal be achieved (blacking out before sn)? Sure, and I've already given an explanation for how. I can't in good conscious encourage what OP is asking
1. If fail, it significantly increases likelihood that SN goes from no long lasting symptoms to possibly severe and painful ones
2. If not fail, the pain, gag, and aspiration reflexes are powerful and at times revive a sedated individual to consciousness
3 there is a reason exit international/pph do not list a sedative in the SN regimen. They list them in plenty others , but not this
I'm out of this thread for now.
