Wow. A spot of good news. Not that it's going to postively affect anyone's access to it now. But, at least there's some justice.

Wait I don't understand. If people could have bought SN on Amazon then many of us would have done so. Idk what kind of key words it's hidden under but I certainly never found it on Amazon

Judge dismisses lawsuit claiming Amazon sold 'suicide kits' to teenagers

A U.S. judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Amazon.com Inc brought by the parents of two teenagers who committed suicide by consuming sodium nitrite they bought on the online retailer's platform.

In a 34-page decision, Robart said the product label for the sodium nitrite identified the dangers of using the chemical, which is sometimes used in cured meats.

Truth. I suspect I have the same SN, 99.6% purity, and it clearly says on the bottle it is indeed toxic.

He said Amazon had no duty to provide additional warnings, which in this case would not have prevented the deaths, and that Washington law preempted the negligence claims.

"Kristine and Ethan's fates were undisputedly tragic, but the court can only conclude that they necessarily knew the dangers of bodily injury and death associated with ingesting sodium nitrite," Robart wrote.

Kristine Jónsson was 16, and Ethan McCarthy was 17.

Wait I don't understand. If people could have bought SN on Amazon then many of us would have done so. Idk what kind of key words it's hidden under but I certainly never found it on Amazon

I searched for SN on Amazon last week just to see, and a few days later I got an email from Amazon asking if I was still interested in buying Sodium Nitrite and showed a picture of a bag of SN as an example.

Where's the article approving euthanasia walk-in clinics?

Nice to see a bit of commonsense prevail. The real story should be what actually happened to those teenagers leading up to that point.

I bought my SN off eBay back in the day, and it was cheap and high quality, too. It used to be readily available, which led to its popularity. I think the SN era might be behind us now.

It's like they completely ignore what caused those teens to feel that way. Just blame the supplier, surely the people in their life did nothing wrong!

I have a jar full of quarters and would gladly share with you. Haven't been able to make it to the laundromat in a while

even if the suicide booth was real, i wouldn't take the offer. it would simply not be able to use the booth. i hate asking for help for anything—everything; stemming from years of doing it like an idiot, see the result over 7 and the aftermath: now.

People are so greedy. Mostly sure all they wanted was a big money. They don't care that they have to be exactly the ones to blame. Ig your kid doesn't trust you it has to be that you are a horrible parent or doing your job wrong. But prolifers always wanna take advantage and blame others while filling their pockets .

A few years ago it was more readily available.

Do you think Amazon would like report you if you replied back yes?

No, I don't think Amazon would report someone. The prompts guide one to enter a business address and/or set up a business account in order to compete the purchase.
