Those require a lot more dosage, and don't kill quickly (which is what you want with an execution). Cops don't want to give a valid use for these drugs either. Prisons do want to experiment with slowly replacing atmosphere in a sealed chamber with nitrogen, sorta like what they used to do with the gas chamber - but nobody's tested this as an execution method and no state wants to be the one to fuck it up first.
