Just curious.

thank you all for you answer but please if anyone knows where to get such thing please let me know. I'm working on something. FYI- I'm not intending to hurt myself or anyone. I just need it.

Answer 1

It is not just one shot that they give someone it goes like this

Anesthetic - Sodium thiopental, which has the trademark name Pentothal, puts the inmate into a deep sleep. This drug is a barbiturate that induces general anesthesia when administered intravenously. It can reach effective clinical concentrations in the brain within 30 seconds, according to an Amnesty International report. For surgical operations, patients are given a dose of 100 to 150 milligrams over a period of 10 to 15 seconds. For executions, as many as 5 grams (5,000 mg) of Pentothal may be administered. This in itself is a lethal dose. It's believed by some that after this anesthetic is delivered, the inmate doesn't feel anything.

Saline solution flushes the intravenous line.

Paralyzing agent - Pancuronium bromide, also known as Pavulon, is a muscle relaxant that is given in a dose that stops breathing by paralyzing the diaphragm and lungs. Conventionally, this drug takes effect in one to three minutes after being injected. In many states, this drug is given in doses of up to 100 milligrams, a much higher dose than is used in surgical operations -- usually 40 to 100 micrograms per one kilogram of body weight. Other chemicals that can be used as a paralyzing agent include tubocurarine chloride and succinylcholine chloride.

Saline solution flushes the intravenous line.

Toxic agent (not used by all states) - Potassium chloride is given at a lethal dose in order to interrupt the electrical signaling essential to heart functions. This induces cardiac arrest.


Where you would get these things I have no idea? I am pretty sure that you can't.

Answer 2

there is a coctail of...Sodium thiopental.. which causes the unconciousness.... Pancuronium/Tubocurarine.. this causes paraylisis and the diaphram to quit moving causing the offender to quit breathing... and Potassium chloride to stop the heart and cause death... these three are administered in this order in a specific dosage to cause the least pain and quickest death... You cant just go buy these chemicals...
