Valium pills made by legal drugs

Victoria's future euthanasia products could be created using a cocktail of legal medicines, to be powdered with a drink such as orange juice, if state-regulated state legislation passes through the Parliament.

As legal euthanasia centimeters approached reality, there was uncertainty as to exactly what lethal consumption could be used by terminal patients.

This is due to the fact that drugs used elsewhere in the world, including pentobarbital (known as Nembutal) and another barbiturate sedative known as secobarbital, are banned for human use in Australia.

Fairfax Media may reveal that, instead of requiring that these drugs be legalized, they probably combine pharmacists in Victoria to create euthanasia powders with a mixture of substances already approved by therapeutic asset management.

The legal drugs involved in these concoctions could include pain morphine, diazepam (valium) and prescription drugs often used to treat heart disease and epilepsy.
