Barbiturates were legal and OTC in the first half of the 20th century.
Just think about that. Stefan Zweig, Austrian writer, ctb via barbiturates.

They were replaced by Benzos in the 1960s

Cause this world is run by misery loving, power hungry, money greedy, warmongering control freak assholes. Clearly they dont want us to have an easy and peaceful death. They want us to struggle and fight to survive in their unjust ridiculous system. They are still currently at work to globalize the whole world under one supreme earthly control system. And idiots continue to willfully bring children into this. FTW

I think in addition to society wanting people to suffer, greed, and control over it's citizens, from the medical perspective, there isn't a legitimate use outside of causing death and bringing peace to the patient. Therefore, as the (pro-life) government and society sees bringing dignified peace and ending suffering to be detrimental to their pro-life values, they banned such substances from human use as they want humans to be alive as long as possible so that they can milk as much money as they can from said patient(s).

I do agree about legalizing them for euthanasia and as a way to have a peaceful, dignified death on one's own terms.

I wouldn't see anything nefarious about restricting access to certain substances. I don't think it had much to do with suicide prevention rather than accident prevention. Preventing suicide was just a bonus.
I wish it were more accessible though

I live in Switzerland where euthanasia is legal for the terminally ill.
At least for a hefty price. So, even the terminally ill have no way out if they don't have the money.
After several years of "careful case evaluation" to assess whether the patient's request is justified or not (meaning they use the time to squeeze out money from the patient) , the patient is allowed to self-administer a lethal dosis of Pentobarbital (orally or intravenously) and die a fairly peaceful death.

These same companies (Exit, Dignitas, Pegasos...) also receive thousands of requests per year from other people who are terminally ill. But because it's not their bodies failing, it's "not justified and morally inacceptable" because mental illness "can always be cured".
There is not a single recorded case of legal euthanasia for a mentally ill person in Swiss history. Or any assisted suicide organization for that matter.

Most barbiturates are still legal/unregulated in some (many?) countries.

They are legal but you need prescription for them obviously:/
Absolutely not: they are available "over the counter" in any private pharmacy (at least in Eastern Europe), even for those who are underage.

What? I never heard of that. I'm from Europe but it's strict here. Do they have online shops there then?
I was in some countries of eastern Europe and i definitely didn't see that in pharmacies://

I think making deadly substances illegal makes sense not because they can lead to suicides but because they can also be used for homicides. We all love our right to die but think about how many people would be killed and lose their right to live if any fatal substances were more easily accessible.

Unfortunately even assisted suicide might always face challenges in getting legalized. All it takes is one person being coerced into committing suicide by an abuser or mob leader to make people scared enough to overlook the benefits.

Depends on the country, In thailand you can buy Xanax and many other stuff over the country and they have to history of people misusing them, same as Amsterdam. Most things are legal and barely you see a drug addict. So that's would be a great idea actually.
Yes. I've heard many times that places with the least restrictions have the least problems with addiction, drug-related crimes, etc.

Thanks so for sharing this. I learned something. Nothing at all for mental illness?

They may ask for a prescription if you order it online. In-person, however, you may purchase however many bottles/packs you wish.

They (barbiturates) are not labelled as such, of course, and are always mixed with something (like corvalol, for example, which is the most popular one).

Nope. Nothing.
It is like with all "highly developed" first world countries filled with monsters: Psychological trauma is regarded as mere maladjustment that can be fixed like tubes by a plumber and NOT taken seriously in any way. I have ten years of experience with the mental health systems in Switzerland. They are a fucking joke.

As for euthanasia. I asked my doctor once if I had any chance of being accepted and he immediately said to not even try. Waste of time because I would NEVER be accepted.

i am so sorry you have been through bs there. i wish people understood mental illness and psychological trauma. i'd rather have a broken leg than a broken brain. i am so mad to be trapped with my brain. i know you can understand that.

I can definitely relate. Many of us would be half as broken if at least we were taken seriously. For me, the worst thing is the sense of guilt we are stuffed with on a daily basis, even by so-called professionals haha

They've been making suicide harder and harder to commit so that suicidal people have to go to more and more desperate means to kill themselves. No more barb ODs. No more sticking your head in an oven or running your car in your garage. Now they're even making SN impossible to get. These people don't understand that this just pushes people to do desperate things like try to get run over by a train or jump off a building.

Yes, and they further condemn and stigmatize the people resorting to those desperate means in their ignorance. Not realizing that these things are the result of a profoundly sick society and that the system is wrong - not us.
The pro-life hypocrisy going on everywhere (generally the hypocrisy in our world where everybody says nice things but behaves like a monster) and "the system enables us to lead such comfy, wonderful lifes" kind of shit makes me sickest of all.

I tell you something: When I was standing on the platform to kill myself yesterday, I was crying and looking like shit because I couldn't hold it back. You could clearly see what I was trying to do. Nobody even batted an eye or so much as looked up from their phones.

That breaks my heart. I am sorry nobody came and hugged you and showed you some love. I care and I am here if you want to talk. You can PM me any time. I think the world is full of shit and most demonstrations of care/concern are performative.

i relate. i am drowning in guilt & shame.

Evil elite psychopaths run this world, along with their willing, bureaucratic pawns. They want humans to be addicted to this worthless life, and keep their shitty illusion of "happiness" afloat in the minds of their brain-washed adherents. Barbiturates should be much, MUCH easier to get and the will of the individual should be respected as to their use for the purpose of exit.

Google is your friend?

It's bc of safety concerns mainly related to accidental overdose rates vs benzos, which from a medical standpoint accomplish the same thing for regular use.
