*as long as the blade is kept sharp

Only problem with that is open caskets and decapitation like that isn't instant. The brain is still alive for a bit.

That is, ideally, what they want to do. However, to do it properly you would need a doctor, and doctors won't help because of the whole "do no harm" thing. Kind of against their whole thing.

Because applying anesthesia is nor easy, requires years of education and a medical degree, and not anesthesiologist is going ti participate on it.

Alabama tried that and managed to screw it up. You have to remove the carbon dioxide in the exhales to prevent the feeling of suffocation, and they didn't provide enough nitrogen flow to do that. Took like twenty minutes of clearly desperate gasping and convulsions for the guy to pass.

The problem is the very pro-death penalty camp wants the dying process - not the being dead part after - to be the punishment. The pro-humane camp is generally anti-death-penalty enough they don't get a seat at the method-decision table.

That's kind of like the people who try to commit suicide with Tylenol. They think it'll be painless, but they don't realize that over the course of the next few weeks their organs will turn to jelly and they'll be in incredibly pain.

It's almost physically impossible to overdose on THC.

Pedantic, but:

The LD50 for THC is so hilariously high that you will physically lose the ability to move your body and consume more THC long, long before you reach a point of potential toxicity. From a technical standpoint there is no recorded event of a THC "overdose" ever occurring, like literally ever in human history, and boy have we been trying over the years. It's easier to die from drinking too much water than consuming too much THC.

Now clearly what you're referring to is just having had too much, "greening out" as the kids say, where you can gain a lot of anxiety and lose a lot of bodily control. And yes, that sucks, a lot. Panic attack city right there. But that's not an overdose in the proper, dangerous sense of the term.

I only even bring this up because with cannabis being such a hot button political issue lately and being on the brink of federal legalization, accurate information about it is more important now than ever. And more often than not I usually see comments like this just replied to with "lol u can't overdose on weed idiot" with no further context and that's not helpful to anyone.

You can definitely take too much and have a bad time, but if you manage to find a way to legitimately overdose on THC, Willie Nelson would like to know your location.
