Rope costs less than heroin, there’s plenty of other ways to frugally kill a person besides drugs. The reason some countries use the drugs they do is because they are believed to be more humane. In the US we usually use three drugs in a lethal injection. Pancuronium bromide (Pavulon) is used to cause muscle paralysis and respiratory arrest, potassium chloride to stop the heart, and midazolam for sedation.
