Back in the day, Thalidomide was used to treat morning sickness. Problems arose after birth defects started to occur. Soon afterward the drug was banned completely. Fairly recently, thalidomide has been seen to treat illnesses such as leprosy, Kahlers disease, and possibly AIDS.
As to where it can be purchased, without a prescription, nowhere. If you need it for some illness talk to a doctor.
Some say that Thalidomide was developed by Germans buy then again some say that's not entirely correct. Dr. Martin W Johnson found evidence that Thalidomide was developed as an antidote to nerve gases. Others say that it was synthesised by British scientists. Ari :)

Thalidomide was marketed as an aid for nausea and for pregnant women to prevent morning sickness. Thalidomide was withdrawn because it was found to cause birth defects in newborns, such as missing limbs, it also caused peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) in long time users. Thalidomide still being used as a treatment option for various forms of cancer.
Doctors often prescribed Thalidomide to pregnant women to treat morning sickness and as a sedative to assist with sleep. Thalidomide was sold from 1957 until 1961. The product was withdrawn when it was discovered that Thalidomide was teratogenic - causing malformations of an embryo or foetus. Countless babies were born with birth-defects; most notably missing limbs.
The federal government responded to the uproar over the Thalidomide crisis by passing the Kefauver-Harris Amendments of 1962.. The said industry of government, which had engineered the Thalidomide scandal in the first place, thereby only became stronger and more dangerous.
