However, with the arrest of Jeff Ostfeld for attempting to smuggle 12 bottles of Nembutal into the US, Nuevo Progreso is a lot less reliable as a destination for Nembutal. Watch future updates for news of any known changes to the current situation in Nuevo Progreso.
Nogales
Nogales (south of Tucson in Arizona) is another border city whose tourism has fallen victim to drug cartel violence. See: http://bit.ly/ckDp8q While several years ago, Exit received several positive reports of the availability of Nembutal, in late 2010 reports suggest that veterinarios have all but disappeared from the downtown area.
Reynosa & Del Rio
Two more border cities with an high threat of violence are Reynosa and Del Rio. Neither of these cities has historically marketed itself as a tourist town. Not surprisingly, perhaps, Nembutal is reported as largely unavailable at these destinations. The recent build-up of a military presence in Reynosa, in particular, has been reported by one traveller to be ‘overwhelming’ and ‘quite frightening’.
Cancun
While Nembutal has been known to be available in the tourist resort of Cancun on the Mexican east coast, trav- ellers to this part of the world report mixed outcomes.
