    Honestly much better than lethal injection. Lethal injection is slow and tortuous but looks less violent.

    I’d rather be give a fuck ton of herion and ran over with a bulldozer. If that’s not available chop my head off

      I’m convinced lethal injection was intentionally designed to be agony, and torture. There are too many accounts by eyewitnesses of it not being peaceful, and painless.

        Afaik the process itself is fine, but it involves things like starting an IV and dosing, and people who are skilled in those kinds of things tend not to be the kind of people who are okay with assisting in an execution. So, the ones who end up doing it are basically cops with a syringe, and -big shock- fuck it up cuz they’re either too stupid to do it correctly or too evil to want to.

      It sounds pretty freakin cruel to me but I’ll just post this quote and link:

      source: Discover

      “The physician concluded based on his observations that a severed head could retain consciousness for 25 to 30 seconds.”

        I’d assume with the spine severed like that you wouldn’t feel much pain.

        Plus with lethal injection it’s common for it to take hours. Just sitting their slowly drowning as your lungs fill with fluid. I’ll take the 25 to 30 seconds

            Yeah. But I’m clean now and still alive to regret that particular incident, could be worse

            Edit - I wanted to bring it back in a witty way to your username checking out too but fuck me it’s beyond my ability

                Dammit! You’re right, there was definitely a hemorrhoids joke there . . . isn’t it always the way that you never get the idea until way too late!

                Yeah don’t give me too much applause - I will still have an occasional pipe of crack, maybe once every couple of months. Because I fuckin like it and that’s that. I’m getting too old for that shit though -my smart watch gives me an unusual heartbeat warning when I do stimulants. I also still drink too much, I still smoke cigarettes and the occasional joint, I still have a shitty diet. These are things I need to change. But yeah, I don’t do smack anymore. It was part of my life for many wasted years. It took me way too long to finally quit. But I did it. . . and so can you. Probably better than me. The rest of my stuff is a work in progress - though I am finding I feel better the next day if I go to sleep sober.

                I don’t wanna give you advice because we all different people with different shit. What worked for me might not be right for you. And I’m no fuckin guru! I’d just say pick a date and stick to it. Don’t beat yourself up about relapses, just get back on that wagon and keep going. And get whatever medical and social support you can. All the best mate
