    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.

    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.

    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.

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