Ricin is not a suicide pill, doesn't make sense to take it. First like I said, you die slowly. This leads to the second reason. High levels officials are often thought to carry suicide pills so they don't give information under threat of torture. If you took ricin, you'd still have many hours to be tortured and leak info.

Naw he's got a plan for it. Someone who he feels betrayed him.
I wasn't think of just Walt killing himself only. Maybe for him and Skyler, if prison wasn't something they could stomach.

But you're right. But why get the ricin at all, unless he doesn't want somebody else to find it? Even if he couldn't make up another batch, he could locate something else poisonous enough to kill a person.
