You made my day! :)
“It also has multiple manufacturers, so the chances of some PC bleeding heart pharmaceutical company trying to avoid sales to a correctional institution becomes all that more difficult.”
If this stuff keeps up, it might be a sensible investment to just open a pharmaceutical company only to produce the execution drugs that the rest won’t. You’ll have an instant monopoly, guaranteed client list, and you won’t need to care about boycotts because you won’t have any other customers.
There is some anecdotal information that heads severed in this way retain consciousness for some seconds. It would be inconvenient or impractical to perform enough relevant research to rule this out.
Well, yes, but we are high tech and civilized. So much better to use a high tech targeted device.
There are probably OSHA regulations that may apply in this process.
There have already been human “trials” in the form of industrial accidents. NASA has lost a couple of people over the years to this very type of accident. In fact it is so well known that Nitrogen Gas has it’s own MSDS sheet.
This sheet reads in part:
... Exposure to atmospheres containing <10% Oxygen will bring about unconsciousness without warning and so quickly that the individuals cannot help or protect themselves ....
Are you sure you’re talking about nitrogen, and not CO2?
Bring back sparky for those guilty without a doubt. OJ should be the first candidate.

I don’t get “witnesses” at executions, I wouldn’t choose to watch somebody die. I’ve seen plenty of people die but not by choice, it was never a pleasant experience to me.
(No, not even if it were the murderer of a loved one.)
I considered doing this after my previous employer laid me off.
The synthesis doesn't look too hard, I really don't have to worry about impurities too much, and I might not have to run all year, just make enough for he upcoming executions.
Much more cost effective just to build a gallows and use a rope. Or phenobarbital.
What!?!!
