Legality of SN in UK

[RCan]

Hey folks - anyone know about the legality of SN in the UK? Trying to figure out if it is anyway a controlled substance or not. Thanks in advance :).

So SN is an illegal poison in the UK, but still sold nationwide as an ingredient in processed meat?

Its not illegal, its restricted. it just makes it harder to purchase if you aren't a business or school etc. worldwide, the laws are different in regards to it. so it can be easier to obtain from certain places

Its a reportable substance. I think the sellers have to be responsble in who they give it to.
I think maybe it wasnt an issue until people started ctb with it.

So why aren't rat poison or bleach or ropes or knives or razor blades restricted?
Nevermind.

True. But I still can buy as much as I want without restrictions. And I will buy more after my stash expires, just for the sake of freedom, because even expired if stored properly it will still work.

Basically this. It used to be freely available to buy but has become restricted recently.

Basically I'm glad Poland is not a kingdom with so many restrictions and I can get as much SN from there as I want.

knives are restricted i think to no one under 16, possibly bleach and rat poison aswell (not 100%). i don't think rope and razor blades are though.

but alot of shops staff will probably be told to use common sense. like don't sell razor blades to children or rope etc.

Sure, restrictions to kids are more than fine, that's obvious.
Suicidal children can be helped. Adult "freaks" are disdained.

they can only restrict certain things in certain ways, because alot of stuff are things people use in daily life. so if they start restricting things too much it will massively effect the business' that produce the different products.

so for instance they banned so called 'zombie knives' because they could see no actual proper use for them. but they cant just ban kitchen knifes as alot of people use them. so instead you have to be of a certain age.

with SN, again its something used alot in the food business. but it gained a bit of notoriety, so they have restricted it in some places. problem is in some countries they might rely on being able to sell it more freely. if it was restricted, it might massively effect some of the people who rely on its sale as a source of income, thats why its so readily available.

every country is different though, some of the less well off countries you can buy things more freely in.

Banning zombie knives, what else is banned in the UK? Hoodies, right?
I feel sorry for suicidal people in the UK. Can't buy SN domestically, ordered abroad is seized by the customs.

It seems that, from what others have posted on here previously, the most common theme is businesses just won't sell it to an individual. Whilst I'm sure it can happen, I've not heard of anyone being reported by the seller.

I would say to be safe it's best to order it from abroad. It takes longer, but sellers on the two websites I know of that have individuals selling from abroad seem to be cautious, often deleting and recreating accounts under new names to avoid detection, and in any case I think an international investigation seems unlikely.

 

[Ren Elsie Jewelria]

My seller is a significant, legit chemical company, they don't delete and recreate accounts and they do sell abroad, the problem is your paranoid customs. And you guys order from some shady Russians or Ukrainians and need to do some purity tests, that's ridiculous.

I've seen a lot of people speculate they had their SN taken by customs, and then weeks later say it arrived. And the vast majority of people I've spoken to/seen post on here get it.

I got mine from the Ukraine without any problems. I'm sure it happens but I don't think it's a common thing given how many people have got theirs without issue.

I don't see a problem with doing purity tests. That's what your chemical company is doing so what difference does it make if I'm the one doing it? It's a fairly simple test.

I've no qualms with you ordering from a chemical company - just saying that I don't see a problem with ordering it from individuals from abroad either.

Thanks for your reply.
I've read a lot of complaints from the Brits having their SN seized by the customs for good, never receiving them. Also complaints about sh*t service and quality of SN from RU/UA.
I just wonder why you prefer shady sellers. Your choice.

Zombie knifes are not banned in the UK. Neither is SN. And SN could be restricted in the USA soon.

I haven't seen anyone mention that they've had their SN seized by customs. There are delays but I'm pretty sure people have received their orders.
