Wow. Here in the USA you can just order it on Amazon. I just got mine.
That'll change here, too.
Once this gets in the news (it already has), it becomes a liability for the companies that sell lab-grade (pure) SN, and no lawyer will let their client knowingly sell a "suicide drug" to the public. Nobody wants to be the next Purdue Pharma, even if it's on a much smaller scale.
The bigger providers are already cracking down, even in the US. But the small guys also have lawyers, or will, and they'll put the clamps on too, sooner rather than later. If that doesn't keep us from finding the pure stuff, the government will lay on
real pressure, and questionnaires and gut feelings will be replaced with licenses and certificates of necessity. Legal isn't the same as easy.
Nitschke keeps saying nobody can restrict SN, but he's full of shit. Food-grade SN* will always be on eBay, sure, but that's no good for ctb. It has to be lab-grade. How many hobby farmers you know cure their pork chops over a beaker burner? The days of easy access are numbered, and then it's on to something new. Remember, there are
very specific reasons it's so hard to get N: Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Edie Sedgwick, etc. People out there are paying attention.
Cat chases mouse. Mouse runs away. Cat chases mouse. Mouse runs away. Etc.
*EDIT: I mistakenly used "food grade" to mean the weak home-hobby kind of SN as opposed to 98%+. "Food grade" can indeed be 98%+. Sorry for the confusion.
