I’ve seen people on here take small amounts of SN. Why?

[balkanrage]

If I remember correctly I've seen people on here take like 17-30g of SN when they've ordered from DMC. Now I don't know DMC for long, but I've only seen them have minimums at 50g and 100g, so I feel like there's something I'm not aware of. If that's to save the rest for a backup, I understand. I just don't get why people don't take it in all at once, wouldn't that be more likely to kill you? Is it so they don't throw up? Or is it for a more comfortable death?

I'm going to take SN and I just feel like I'm missing out on something here

Because youll probably just throw it up.

from what i've read around here, the estimated lethal dose is much lower (10g or less from what i've seen). iirc, the PPH recommends 25g or 35g depending on weight, which should already be a good bit more than enough if absorbed and not thrown up. i imagine taking more could lead to a slightly higher chance of success, but also it'd be much harder to drink and you'd have a higher chance of throwing it up.

From what I read of SN there's a goldilocks zone with it, if you take too much you'll probably not be able to keep it down which quite counterintuitively might end up making it a less lethal method. (You trow up, aren't as poisoned, just feel terrible, SI kicks in, you call an ambulance)

If you are questioning the amount, you have not studied up on the SN protocol. Please do so as a strict protocol should be followed for success with SN.

They probably hope that the small dose wont kill them
