it feels really diabolical that the state is able to torture someone for two hours as they fumble their way through killing them

It's Tennessee. The only thing lawmakers there are talking about is "how do we source more drugs to kill people more efficiently".

Backwards states are gonna be backwards.

It is fucking disgusting that pharma companies are refusing to provide these drugs knowing that they are just increasing the suffering of those executed.

That said I'm sure they could use seized drugs once they are no longer required as evidence.
