every part of the plant is highly poisonous (causing cardiac arrest), and people are advised to call poison control even if they've only eaten 5 ish bulbs, so surely this is a method? they're legal and easy to order in my country and i don't think the death would be that painful or long lasting, thoughts?
Plant poisonings are notoriously difficult to predict. You never know how much toxin is in each individual plant. Also, they are usually slow (minutes to hours to days) and painful. Historically many, many people have used plants for suicide, so it works, but due to the reasons I listed above we do not recommend it here.
Thing is, that "highly" is a bit exaggerated, meaning "it's toxic alright but lethal in only some cases" and "people" refers mostly to children since they are more susceptible than adults.
Let's look at the numbers - dry mass of Convallaria maialis contains 0,1 to 0,5% of roughly 40 different cardenolides. Most of them more or less toxic. What you are interested in is Convallatoxin which can range from 5 to 40% of all those cardenolides.
LD50 (mg/kg) for Convallatoxin is as follows:
3.65 (cats, oral)
0.18 (cats, intraperitoneal)
0.185 (guinea pig, intravenous)
0.2 (guinea pig, intraperitoneal)
1 (mice, intravenous)
10 (mice, intraperitoneal)
0.09 (monkeys, intravenous)
Also, keep in mind that symptoms include heavy vomiting and diarrhea so your body will attempt to expel most of the poison, one way or another.
Given that and quite wide range how much toxin specific plant can contain. while it is possible to kill yourself with it. i wouldn't recommend it due to high unpredictability and nasty side effect you'll get should your plan fail.
