Availability of Nembutal Internet Sources - Powder Nembutal
For many years, Nembutal powder was sold online from China as reagent grade ‘Sodium Pentobarbital’, CAS No. 57-33-0. The powder was usually sold flat-packed or in small, plastic screw-top containers. The last ‘reliable’ supplier ‘Johnson’ disappeared in 2017.
Sources of powdered Nembutal have been identified on the ‘Dark Web’. By way of background, Wikipedia defines the Dark Web as a section of the Internet that requires ‘specific software, such as a Tor browser, configurations and authoriza- tions to access. Dark Web marketplaces - such as offer protec- tion to the byer with escrow payment, the use of cryptocur- rancy (Bitcoin or Monero) and PGP signature encryption.
While many restricted or illegal recreational drugs are avail- able on a number of operating dark web marketplaces, only a few sites offer sodium pentobarbital/ Nembutal in either pow- der or veterinary liquid form. It is thought that the higher pen- alties associated with the ‘assisting a suicide’ criminal offence deters many from involvement in this trade, and those supply- ing regularly change marketplace.
Note: In recent years there have been several Dark Web mar- kets offering pentobarbital. One prominent marketplace was White House Market (WHM), with a supplier called Cindica- tor. While Cindicator seems to still operate on the Dark Web, they no longer sell pentobarbital.
