There are many procedures that are not legal in the USA, but exist
nontheless.
 
There are also a number of very legitimate reasons for knowing about
these procedures.
 
One of them may be that the enquirer does not live under US law (with the
possible exception of Helms-Burton and California civil law which
apparently reaches *everywhere* <grin>).  Another might be that the person
enquiring is a regulator and wants to understand this illegal procedure.
 
I for one do not live under US law, except when I travel in the USA, and
although the mentioned substances are not permitted for the specified uses
here in Canada either, I understand the need for free interchange of
information.  Although disseminationg knowledge has its risks and costs,
the price of ignorance and censorship is much higher.
 
I would be interetested in the details.
