Death by sodium nitrate doesn't sound pleasant. Ya'll don't sell the helium party balloon filling kits in Canada?

Most helium now has oxygen in it precisely to prevent this.

escMode also sold kits that had everything but inert gas, which is widely available legally.

So they take away the peaceful methods of checking out and then wonder why people choose firearms.

What a shitty thing to do! Inhaling an inert gas is apparently one of the least stressful ways to go, as CO2 buildup is what triggers the asphixiation response rather than the lack of oxygen.

I'm upset that they make it hard to commit suicide in a fairly bombproof painless way. Motherfuckers.
