Method Legal status of sodium azide

[GlowingCactus]

Hello,

Does anyone have detailed information about the legal status of sodium azide ?
I've found websites that sell it but I would like to know exactly what I risk by ordering
a small quantity of sodium azide ? (I live in France.)

The Peaceful Pill Handbook first says that it is not generally subject to legal restrictions,
yet a few pages later it says that the substance is subject to some control, but less than those applied to
the cyanide salts. This information is better than nothing but surely there must be a webpage somewhere with detailed information about the legal status of this substance, right ? I haven't been able to find such a page.

I did a quick search and couldn't find much information on the legality of it. This leads me to think it isn't regulated enough to have much legal repercussions. When they say it's subject to regulation that may just mean it's not easily obtainable but also not necessarily illegal.

I think it might also mean it's one of those things that COULD raise red flags but probably won't.
