Misc Harm Reduction Ideas For Dosing Barbiturate solution

[jess046]

I have come into possession of a pentobarbital solution, including two droppers of of 325mg/ml dose.

Now, the person I acquired it from stole it from his work and I am feeling a little dubious about consuming it after discovering he has not tried it yet. I previously bought another solution off him, which was fine, but this is an entirely different batch. It's used for euthanasia, which makes me even more uncomfortable about using it.

I am worried that perhaps it is different barbiturate or maybe he got the dosage wrong. Mostly, I am worried about dosing the solution as it doesn't leave a large margin for error at 325mg per ml. I have used barbs before, but this was a 50mg/ml solution and I usually dosed at a 100mg. Not sure how this is possible with this solution.

So harm reduction ideas, anyone? Is it too dangerous to use this stuff or do you think I can find a way to make this relatively safe?

dilute it with distilled water to a usable concentration

I had considered doing that, but the idea of something going wrong still freaks me out. Maybe if I diluted the 1ml instead of the entire bottle at one time?

Or evaporate the water off first, to weight the pentobarbital, then you can dillute it to a known concentration. I woud not feel uncomfortable that it is for eutanasia, it is still pentobarbital after all, just highly concentrated. But i cannot help you with the dosage, i have no experience with barbiturates except some phenobarbital.

I've shot a good amount of pento and Nembutal back in the day when I had a connection, but if I did it over again I would skip the pento, it's dangerous stuff and ODs are a very real possibility. The fact that it's used specifically to kill people, euthanasia and lethal injections should tell you that. But I understand the curiosity of course so I would dilute it to a reasonable concentration, up to you really what concentration, but a good starting dose is around 100mg so that should give you an idea, I'm too lazy to do any calculations right now. Be careful, it's good stuff but not very safe at all.

Oh yeah I'm not uncomfortable just because it's for euthanasia, I mean I've used it before, I'm more worried that because it is a pretty dangerous drug and because my friend hasn't even tried this new batch that he may have gotten something wrong and I will be the Guinea pig. I have so much of it though that it seems crazy to not use it as well. Damn. The liquid is green as well, which just makes it all the more dodgy. Apparrently they colour it green so that they know it's for euthanasia. Wonderful.
