Opioids Dilaudid used in lethal injections? WTF?

they use it when putting animals down, alongside with ketamine pretty often. its humane imo.
iuno bout people
 
A significant dose of hydromorphone and midazolam without respiratory support would easily cause death, IMO.
 
Yeah, a SIGNIFICANT dose could/would cause death. But the doses they're using.. aren't really that high. They're using...

• 40 milligrams Hydromorphone.
• 10milligrams Versed.

I mean, those are by NO means huge doses, and for someone with even a decent habit, they would hardly be considered "lethal." Someone with a habit would get that shot, scratch their nose, then ask for another one ten minutes later. It's actually quite a joke. I <3 Ohio!

...Now, I'm waiting for someone to come in here & tell me that you can't have a habit in prison. Lawl.

If you gotta die a big shot of dilaudid would be top of my list. That would be a humane way to do executions- A lethal injection of your DOC. I think if you've been setting on death row a few years chances are your tolerance won't be very high. Sure you can get them but the prices are nuts.
 
they try thiopental sodium before the hydro+midaz though, i dont think youd be feeling to great

edit* not to mention you sit on death row for a while before they do it, and i dont think its too easy to get drugs on death row to keep your tolerance
 
Wat?....
Is it just used to overdose? duhhh??? or, combines specifically with another drug which causes the person to die...im so confused lol.

Well, as your link explains, it is a backup means of execution. I'd never personally heard of hydromorphone used in lethal injections until now. A quick google of it brought it up just for use in Ohio. But I didn't look for long.
 
this would be a great way to go out.... super humane. it would be like dying from cumming too hard and having an aneurysm and dying instantly

40mg of hydromorphone in a single shot is a HUGE dose unless you've got a massive habit. And no, it's not hard to have a habit in prison, but it IS a lot harder in death row.
 
yes, I too was thinking that 40mg of hydromorph is huge. now, I know I'm not the person with the biggest habit, I do shots of morphine around 100mg and oxycodone 120-160mg at a time, and I've been scared by 12mg shots of hydrmorph for a second (thats about how long the high lasts)
 
I second what dokomo said.

This really doesn't fall under the scope of this forum so I'm going to close this. If you have questions refer to the guidelines and posting standards. They define the scope of this forum well.
