    NileRed did a video on how it smells ‘chemically’ and nothing like almonds. In the US you can buy cyanide without restrictions due to how easy it comes up on toxicology tests so if you have the money, buy it and smell it yourself. He also tasted it too.

      My MSDS says oral LD50 for cyanide is 4mg/kg in rats. So, for an 80kg thats roughly 6 drops of pure cyanide. You can’t really buy pure cyanide, but you can get calcium or potassium cyanide. But I’m not very sure if i’m willing to risk about 1/10th of a lethal dose our of curiosity…
