How feasible is suicide by hemlock poisoning?

[egAbwkOofXrX]

Certain compounds seem difficult to access, and what could be easier than going outside and gathering some plants? Poison hemlock is all around me where I live, and I know it's highly toxic and potentially fatal. I want to know how feasible it is to ctb via hemlock poisoning. Something sort of poetic about it on top of the ease of access. I read that roots and seeds are the most toxic, but leaves will also work. I see some sources say 8 leaves can be lethal? What if I pull roots and consume those? Thanks

Not very. You have no idea how much of the poison is present in any given plant. You could need 10 leaves or 100 and you would nerd to quantify it somehow using chemistry. Or, you have to be willing to yolo it and rusk getting sick instead of dying.

I actually don't believe it takes much. It's shits down your respiratory system, there is no antidote. If you're saved, it means seals in the hospital ventilated. I've looked into it. Personally I would make a decoction, take a bunch of sedatives, and inject. Years ago as a teen, I purchased what were marketed as poison hemlock seeds off eBay. I took them and I felt anxious, fast pulse… generally unwell but the next day I was fine. So upsetting. Thought I could go out old school.
