Help Questions about ctb with Benzocaine

[deathpastdue]

I've been thinking of ctb for years now. I have like $60 in cash, I hope that would be enough. I almost went to the store today to try to buy some Benzocaine, I was thinking of getting maybe 2 bottles because 1 might not be lethal and getting 3 might seem suspicious, idk. This one seems to be one of the less understood methods on this site. I know people have died from accidental ingestion, does anyone know if anyone on sasu has attempted or succeeded in using it to ctb? I'm not sure if @Jisatsu succeeded in their attempt, their profile seems it cannot be viewed, maybe their account got deleted or something. Benzocaine seems like a good option to me because I can't bring myself to commit to jumping (167ft onto a river, unsure if it would be lethal) which is one of my top methods even though I know the jumping resource post got removed, or fsh (too stupid to tie a bowline knot plus it seems scary). Does anyone know long Benzocaine can be stored for? I might not end up using it right away and I'm worried if I might have to go re-buy benzocaine which may seem suspicious too. I thought of using SN because it's somewhat peaceful seeming and I already have a prescription for propranolol, but acquiring it proves difficult for me in my situation. If anyone knows an alternative to SN or Benzocaine which is similar in its effects and preferably easily accessable via otc drug stores etc., without needing to order online from a website? Would Lidocaine also work? I don't see the same methemoglobinemia warning as on Benzocaine, so I assume it might not do the same thing. I'm having difficulty finding a product containing only Benzocaine as an active ingredient but I found one with Lidocaine as the only active ingredient. Would menthol, like 1% cause nausea if I were to drink like in a throat spray? Some of these have different dosages, how much of these would I need to successfully ctb? Like a 6 FL OZ bottle of 5% Benzocaine 1% Menthol for example. Does anyone know how many I should buy and avoid raising suspicion while still acquiring enough to ctb? I weigh around 160lbs, that probably factors into a lethal dosage. Should I buy multiple at once or buy one at two different locations, or would that make it even more suspicious? I was I hope I'm not breaking any rules here, I'm new to posting.

I think it is possible to buy pure benzocaine powder. Lidocaine may also induce methemoglobenemia but the severity appear to be less? Don't know what issues would have with storing it, generally won't react with anything.

This is uncharted territory so no one knows specific amounts. Jisatsu took a total of 33.8g, 25g from powder and 8.8g from throat spray (I believe).

This one seems to be one of the less understood methods on this site.

This is brand new territory, friend.

I know people have died from accidental ingestion, does anyone know if anyone on sasu has attempted or succeeded in using it to ctb?

There have been reports of both accidental and (potentially) purposeful death from benzococaine, but Jisatsu was the first one here to record their attempt.

...I can't bring myself to commit to jumping (167ft onto a river, unsure if it would be lethal)

Rule of thumb for water is 250ft, so no, 167ft is not high enough.

Does anyone know long Benzocaine can be stored for?

I do not know for sure, but the generic "store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place" works for most chemicals. If you do that, it could last decades.

Would menthol, like 1% cause nausea if I were to drink like in a throat spray?

I brought this up in one of Jisatsu's threads but we do not know the answer.

Some of these have different dosages, how much of these would I need to successfully ctb?

The only thing we have to go on is to aim for 33.8g because that is what Jisatsu did. Unfortunately, the first few people who try this have to be guinea pigs.

There is scant info on Benzocaine being used for ctb. Nobody knows doseages or even if it truly works. Imo, OTC products containing benzocaine are not going to work. Even if they did, you need to much. How much? Who knows. You'd need to acquire the pure benzocaine powder that is still being sold, at least for the moment. In essence, with so little being known about it, you'd be a Guinea pig, where you might succeed, or you might not.

It seems that the main difference is just the time it takes to act in the body, and the amount may not be very different from sodium nitrite.
