Got Lethal Injection Drugs?

A major Dutch big pharma company is announcing the restricted distribution of pentobarbital. That drug is now used in place of thiopental for lethal injection executions in the US. Thiopental was previously restricted because the makers did not want it used for lethal injection.

The point is that drug makers do not want their drugs used for lethal injection executions.
