‘I’m not ready, brother’: US man to be put to death months after botched execution attempt
theguardian.com
Kenneth Smith, 58, is facing execution by an untested method that has never before been used in capital punishment in the US. It’s a technique that has been rejected on ethical grounds by veterinarians for the euthanasia of most animals other than pigs: death by nitrogen gas.

Well that and a large majority of medical corporations refuse to provide their drugs for this purpose. That was one of the main reasons the "lethal injection cocktail" kept changing, because companies found out their drugs were in it and took legal action.
What about drug cartels? They're happy to provide fentanyl overdose amounts to unsuspecting end users, could they provide the same to jails? It's apparently also pretty cheap, and no injections needed.
How bout the state just not kill people
I'd settle for only killing those who wanted to die... but that would make too much sense, or something.
Pretty shure they wouldn't supply the US government for executions either...
I mean, the CIA is literally part of the US government and they are a big participant in South American drug cartels. Surely they could organize something.
But they aren't buying it for executions or officially...
If some prison just takes out a liter of diamorphine from "unknown" source there will be questions... And not just from inside the USA...
