Title: How much to overdose and die?
Post by: qrbr6 on June 01, 2012, 02:19 pm
How much of a drug would you have to take to overdose and die? I'm talking any drug here, MDMA, speed, meth, heroin, feel free to give info on any drug.

There are a lot of factors in play there, what the drug is, if its pure, your body weight/age, health etc

Also each drug has their own LD50, rarely are 2 drugs limits ever the same.

Thanks for the replies guys. I realize these things, I wasn't clear enough in my first post, I was asking for any specific drug you could give.

I know the one for Mephedrone is pretty high, we are talking like 5g in one go or something like that. A good place to look for this info is wiki, you generally get the LD50 on the right side with the chemical information. Have a look there. :)

No one is going to be able to give you a specific answer, cause there is so many factors to way up. I'd put most overdoses down to people being down right careless.

Especially with opiates, it depends greatly on tolerance. A dose that might barely get a heroin addict feeling good could easily kill a first time user.

I've heard it's somewhere between 7 and 8.3 inches. I cannot verify this however, I just heard it from my old roommates' ex girlfriend.

I read somewhere the LD50 for MDMA was between 8.5--22.5G... Seems a lot though?

It greatly depends on the drug indeed, and whats probably more interesting is the ratio between a dose that is effective and a dose that is lethal.

For opiates like heroin or morphine the ratio between a fatal and a recreational dose isn't all that high. A tenfold mistake on the high side is likely to kill you, or at least get you hospitalized.

If you consider cannabis on the other hand, its virtually impossible to self-administer a fatal dose. You'd probably be too stoned to hold a joint very long before the dose becomes life threatening, though you might regret that experiment for quite some time after ;)

Alcohol is an interesting drug in that regard: While a fatal dose is not that much higher than a dose that gets you totally drunk, it is difficult to drink yourself to death in a single run - as long as you take it one unit at a time. What actually happens is you find yourself on the floor with a glass the next day, very much alive, and probably complaining of the worst headache you ever had.

I think the LD50 of mushrooms (psilicybin) is 19 grams of Psilicybin, which is like 20 pounds.

gross.

If you are looking to KYS (thats how we cool people type "kill your self") go get a half gram of 2c-t-7 and snort it all.  I heard it was a very dumb thing to do and it sucks really bad and you will regret it.  Make sure to get a tattoo thatsays "no regrets" first to remind you that it's nothing to regret.

Make sure to have a knife or a gun, Them demons are fucking assholes.

How much of a drug would you have to take to overdose and die? I'm talking any drug here, MDMA, speed, meth, heroin, feel free to give info on any drug.

Sorry but I got to ask this. Are thinking about killing yourself? Or are you just genuinely curious about the LD50 (Median lethal dose) of various drugs?

Just asking as I find you post slightly alarming. (There are better ways out of your problems then killing yourself)

Kind Regards

Knowing the LD50 is REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

It sucks to get high but then die trying... or I assume

Very true....But what concerns me is that OP is not asking about the LD50 of any specific drug but is inquiring about the LD50 of any and all drugs that can kill with an OD.

I just want to make sure no one is trying to harm themselves.

I think given where this thread is heading this thread should be locked. I'm not really comfortable with because it's looking more and more like fishing for a How-To-Die handbook.

Chill out guys, SR isn't the place for this.
