    What are these comments??? He sold suicide pills to people looking to commit suicide. He’s on the hook for that. Trying pseudo philosophize about linguistic technicalities is trite mental masturbation.

      He sold sodium nitrite.

      Should gun dealers be responsible for the people committing suicide with their product?

        Is that for sure what he used? I was just going to ask if anybody knew what this substance he was selling was.

        The internet says the LD50 is 180mg per kilo…

          It’s what the Wikipedia article says.

            Interesting. The wiki says the ld lo is actually 71 mg/kg so you’d still need to eat a few grams but definitely doable for someone wanting to die
