Dumbmyco, Reference your question to me (last month) are there any websites that offer "Abbott Reds" (Secobarbital)? I do not know of any IOP's...sorry. I believe you mean't the former Eli Lilly Pulvule "Reds" that Ranbaxy of India were manufacturing under license to make the "Seconal"....and, have bought the label...and consequently farmed out the production to Marathon Pharmaceuticals of Deerfield, Illinois (Effective 1-30-09) The Seconal are still available in 100 count bottles of 100 mg. "pulvule capsules" It would have to be a NROP or ROP to handle this...a most daunting task for a C-II! Regarding hope of finding a IOP, United Kingdom receives their "Sodium Amytal" (Blue Angels) 60 mg & 200 mg, Seconal 50 mg & 100 mg. and Tuinal (Rainbows) in 100 mg. from Flynn Pharma of Dublin Ireland. The 200 mg. versions of Tuinal appear to be gone forever. Regarding the search for a hidden supply of pure Methaqualone, the last "Lemmon 714's" containing methaqualone submitted to the DEA from drug busts were in 1985. With one exception, (June 1990), every "Lemmon 714" tablet confiscated within the USA since 1990, (twenty one separate "busts") all contained pure diazepam (Valium) in the bootleg/counterfeit market ranging from 1991 to 2006. If anyone has a factory sealed bottle of 100 count Rorer 714's, Lemmon 714's and the rarely produced 1980 to 11/15/83 Lemmon Mequin methaqualone (embossed LMN 300, white, scored) the owners have been extremely discreet and no-one has reported seeing any for like 25 years now....they have likely been used up IMHO. If a IOP ever shows up with a Switzerland address for shipping & receiving, maybe someone will offer the Toquilone Capsules by MedChemie. The med is extremely tightly controlled over there, and M.D.'s are weary of scripting the drug to non-Swiss citizens or non Swiss residents. I have never seen a IOP offer the Spain version "Pallidan" by Berna when it was available until 2001, and I have been lurking around the internet since 1998. Update to my post of 2/17/09.

I have never seen a IOP offer the Spain version "Pallidan" by Berna when it was available until 2001, and I have been lurking around the internet since 1998. Update to my post of 2/17/09. Regarding Seconal (secobarbital sodium / Marathon) C-II, it is worth noting that neither Ranbaxy nor Marathon ever actually manufactured the drug. After Eli Lilly discontinued manufacturing the "pulvules," Ranbaxy had the rights to the trade name. But the manufacturing was always outsourced to another company (Ohm Pharmaceuticals of New Jersey). Given their current design, I think just plain "capsules" would be the best way to describe them. There have been intermittent shortages of the product over the last ten years. Eli Lilly and Ranbaxy both attributed the shortages to lack of raw materials available to manufacture the product, which I considered questionable, since barbituric acid was always available, and the drug is manufactured by simple chemical substitution along the pyridamine ring. In mid-October 2008, Marathon obtained the rights to the trade name Seconal. There was a brief period between October 2008 and February 1, 2009, where the drug was not being manufactured. However, it could probably have been obtained at a Walgreens during this period, as they had extra stock of the product. Marathon finally announced that Seconal was available again late in January 2009. The drug is still being manufactured by Ohm -- there's no change there. In fact, the imprint on the capsule hasn't even changed. I would have thought that Marathon would have at least instructed Ohm to change the imprint! But there was one thing that was greatly changed -- the price! Seconal, made by Ohm, and marketed by Marathon costs roughly five (yes, 5!) times more than the very same Seconal manufactured by Ohm for Ranbaxy. So, if you don't have insurance, figure on paying $250 to $300 for a prescription for sixty. If you can still find a pharmacy that has a bottle that says Ranbaxy on it, you'll probably pay about $60 for the same quantity (sixty).

One false fact in that article, Methaqualone is not physically addictive. WRONG... you've just never had enough of them on hand. "back in the day" (70s) I did have enough of them on hand (thousands) and managed to work up a moderate habit... when that connection came to an end I counted up what I had on hand, and GF and myself weaned ourselves off of the 'ludes over a couple of weeks or so. but you can definitely get a physical habit on methaqualone. work up to half a dozen+ 714s a day (plus beer to wash them down  ) for a while, quit, and THEN tell me they're not addictive. I also know by experience how addicting they can be, the only place that I read they weren't addicting was in the 1969 PDR...That PDR also claims that doriden was a safe alternative to barbituates. At that time Talwin and darvon weren't even considered narcotics. And the drug combinations dexadrine with seconal, and other wacko stuff Patrice

Cleo911 is correct about statement that the former Mandrax mfg by Roussel of France in the 60's/80's, withdrew Mandrax many years ago worldwide! I have the offical news from my brand new Martindale Complete drug Reference 36th edition, (pharmaceutical press) London UK, and Chicago, Ill (USA) published in 2009 on authority of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, 3,694 pages of ethical meds produced in forty (40) countries. The last country that sold legal Methaqualone in the world, was Switzerland, by MedChemie Pharma called "Toquilone Compositum" and it was withdrawn from the Swiss marketplace in late 2006 thru early 2007. It is now "offically a true street drug" (like Cleo911 said) as is only found in mostly South Africa, around port cites especially like Port Elizabeth, or Durban, and is manufactured clandestine labs in rural South Africa, some neighboring South African countries, and occasionally India, according to South African Law Enforcement, who trace the sources. Bld213 you are technically correct calling it a "street drug" but historically, like "Somuated" stated, one of many legal methaqualone marketing names in the USA was Arnar Stone "Sopor" Parke-Davis "Parest" William H Rorer "Quaalude" Lemon Pharma "Quaalude" Lemmon Pharma "Mequin" and Strasenburgh Labs ""Akalon T" and "Biphetamine T" and Smith, Miller, & Patch with "Somnafac Capsules" (200 mg. methaqualone). In 1972, the number 6 most popular ethical pharmaceutical in the USA was William H Rorer's brand "Quaalude" 300 mg. embossed "714" Source: Pharmacy Times top ethical 200 prescription drugs for 1972. Source: Pharmaceutical Data Services Inc Scottsdale AZ. In the 1968 PDR (Physicians Desk Reference) there were 2,600 drug products, and all forementioned methaqualone drug products were in the 1968 text. Thus, truth is, the only tranquilizer/sedative/hypnotic/ that "outsold" Methaqualone in 1972 was the No. 1 slot "Valium" mfg by Roche Labs, Nutley, NJ. In summary, IMHO, I see merits in all three DBF members statements...by Cleo911, bld213, and Somavated" Perhaps the "street drug stigma was magnified by the 1980+1981 years when the Pablo Escobar gang in Colombia, South America, produced millions & millions of 100% pure Methaqualone tablets for export to the USA, resulting in records seizures in 1981 of millions of "Lemmon 714's" by the DEA, and the DEA went to Europe to the countries who were selling the necessary chemical precursors to produce Methaqualone, thus, the "flush street market" of pure Quaaludes, disappeared literally overnight, as the late Pablo Escobar Cocaine Cartel were completely cut off from their chemical suppliers. Summarizing the original topic, there is less than a 1% chance (now) that any IOP will ever market any type of Quaalude....unless someone risks selling "bootleg jungle made methaqualone with "who knows what adultrants may be in them) from some source either from India (where Methaqualone was originally discovered as a anti-malaria drug in the 1950's) or from some IOP source from South Africa, willing to market a Schedule I drug over the internet. I think that is highly unlikely, just like other C-I USA meds (Rohypnol) (MMDA-Ectasy...legal in the 1980's...demonized by our DEA in 1988)..........................
