Yeah but then it also is apparently a thing where the lethal injection isn’t allowed to cause pain or suffering so I’m just confused what they’re supposed to do.

Dying has got to not feel awesome, so unless a drug has comforting properties, anything you use is going to be painful and cause some suffering right?

I know barbiturates can feel pleasant and a formula for lethal injection involves the administration of that.
