I used to frequent r/suicidewatch to help people from commiting suicide. What I never understood is how many people got their hands on all the drugs to od?

Good. Let's keep it that way.

Same way they get guns. Bought or stole them. Good on you for hanging out there. Suicide is generally very impulsive so any interruption to the process can put it off a little longer until hopefully the person finds the help that works for them.

Any drug can be a leþal OD if you take enough of it, even over ð counter stuff.

Ðere's even an LD50 for water if you can believe it.

Huh, that's the first time I've seen a thorn character on Lemmy
- I only noticed it with op
- I'm also partial to ð, ſ, æ, ᵫ, œ, and ƿ
- I've just been seeing them around today, for some reason. Glitch in the matrix?
I remember the story about the woman who won a water drinking contest for some morning radio show and died because she drank too much water. I don’t remember the exact terminology.
- Hyponatraemia. As Chubby Emu might put it (and indeed might have), "hypo" meaning low or below, "natrio" meaning sodium and "(h)aemia" meaning blood. Low sodium in the blood. You know those electrolytes they always talk about being good for you? Sodium is one of those.
  Basically diluted herself to death.

My father got his hands on the drug used for assisted suicide. He donated money to a group campaigning to legalize the practice. Undoubtedly, he found a shady practitioner who did him a favor”favor.” He never used it. But it was there in case of cancer or similar.

Fentanyl is a huge epidemic, so I imagine it's not hard to find users, and ask them for a connect.

Probably were prescribed them at an earlier date but stopped taking them and had them left over. Also even over the counter ones can be deadly if you take too much of them, they are safer these days but it's still not impossible.

I mean from my experience it was (a) pretty easy (attempt). My grandma had way too much (or not enough cause I'm writing this) chantax / other missilanious pills lying around. Took everything I could find and a few days later I woke up in the hospital where they kept me for like a week -_-

I noticed people there frequently encourage suicide...like straight up agree with the suicidal people and give advice. I get that life is truly hard and inescapable for some people, but should you not at least try to help them first?
