US - State says it will use a new, single drug for upcoming execution

a massive opiate OD would feel like nothing. I OD'd before, and felt nothing. I didn't even know I had OD'd until somebody told me after reviving me.

What if they were able to use heroin on death row, and had a big enough tolerance for it to be a slow and painful way out as described above?

Of course they could just have another even larger dosage ready to administer if that were to happen, so that's probably what they would do if needed.

I wouldn't want to die from an opiate overdose.

yea i mean tolerance would be tricky

but personally id rather go out from an opiate instead of pentobarb

or maybe both pent n fent

no i dont really like fent i just liked the rhyme

but a super potent barb n a good opiate sounds alright to me

but whatever agree to disagree, maybe it'd be kool if there was like a list of a dozen ways to die n people got to choose, i dunno

personally im not really a fan of capitol punishment in the first place, i love texas but im ashamed of our justice systems blood thirst
 
How would being injected with enough pure nicotine feel?

One cigarette may contain 1.2 milligrams of nicotine. It's been claimed that this amount could kill 7 adults if it was injected.

Would it kill someone instantly?

Indeed it is. It isn't manufactured in huge pharmaceutical quantities any more, due to being phased out of human medical use. It's still used for veterinary purposes, particularly anesthesia and euthanasia.

Well I'm definitely in favor of capital punishment being executed (no pun intended) in the most cheap way possible.

Since rehabilitation is out of the question here, do you think that the death penalty should serve primarily to punish, or to deter future crimes?

Do you see an irony in the term "capital punishment"?

I don't mean these to be rhetorical questions.

I think the death penalty punishes while deterring future crimes; I just don't want there to be pain involved. I can't say whether or not I'm in support of it (though honestly I don't believe any options should be taken off the table - as Obama once aptly said).
 
because its assuming that the person would only be a hindrance to the whole

i.e. they're not worth putting resources into and/or the state calculates that it wouldn't help
 
Interesting comments after it, about how slow and costly the legal system is, it obviously wouldn't be more expensive to execute them if the legal system was changed with new laws to stop it dragging on and on and involving so many parties.
 
^there is a japanese movie called fulltime killer where an assasin uses a pack a cigs soaked in water for a day to inject and kill someone.

sure there are lots of drugs that would be lethal, a large dose of ghb would do it, i would think they would use something like fent and midazolam where you would basically not know what happened. if its true that the lethal dose is 15 grams of pentobarbital thats a long ass infusion. it should be a really potent drug that is fast acting IE fent and versed. or they could even use some crazy super potent fent analog. get some immobilon (great name for a drug btw) which is something crazy like 10000x morphine.
 
Maybe a bit messy? I think they use the firing squad in Indo sometimes from something I read a while ago. Maybe in other places too, not too sure.
