Posted 25 April 2012
The April & May 2012 updates to The Peaceful Pill eHandbook have something for everyone. If you don't fancy a trip to Cuzco to purchase your Nembutal lawfully & cheaply over the counter, then try sea-level Lima.
Of course, there are some folk who cannot travel. For them, the Chinese mail-order option is relevant. You need to watch the laws of your country though as the importation of barbiturates may be illegal.
The Peaceful Pill eHandbook is the ONLY end-of-life choices guidebook to be updated 6x a year & authored by a physician & scientist.
