An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
More and more reports are surfacing about SN suicides , the above report is dated March 4th 2019 and I wonder if authorities will invoke a license to purchase SN .
I'm just glad there aren't really announced celebrity suicides with SN--I'd bet the number of suicides would jump so high it'd blow stats out of the water for that year due to ease of obtaining, people, even if screwing up, possibly still dieing. And you know within a month there'd probably be a world-wide restriction on the sales of it.

Adding the word "suicide" sells more copies and gets more clicks. Really, you can add "suicide" to anything and it will kickstart the imagination: "suicide candy", "suicide party", "suicide sign language", "suicide bureaucrat", "suicide surprise", "suicide pen".

People have been worried about restrictions on this for a while now. The stuff is so readily available and widely used I don't see it happening anytime soon. However, I'm not saying it's not a good idea to stock up a bit either. The shelf life is 3 years if properly stored so don't go too overboard on the back stock.

A little off topic but it always makes me chuckle hearing people refer to any substance as having a shelf life.
A bottle of past date morphine will still very likely kill you, salt remains a salt, the only thing that really matters is how it's stored.
I'd bet any money that 50 year old, well stored SN will still kill someone as much as freshly bought SN.
People have a habit here of being far to clinical and I get it, I appreciate that we don't want people to suffer or be in pain but equally I don't want SN to ever get restricted and people feel so rushed to CTB because they feel their SN is near 3 years old and may not work, that's unlikely to happen.
I hear the same said about N.
This is a poor example because we're talking about chemicals and not food but it's just the same as companies putting 'best before dates' on their products and people throwing those foods out after the 'best before date'. The food's still good and just fine to eat, it will just 'taste' better if ate before this date.
Don't get me wrong some chemicals wrongly stores, especially when moisture gets into them, can lose their effects but I've heard of people finding super old sleeping tablets that aren't on the market anymore or old bottles of morphine or other substances and taking them and they still work just as good.
Don't go throwing your SN out after 3 years people, it's it's air tight sealed and stored well you'll be just fine.

Note that your attachment is Dutch in origin: a Dutch pro-choice group (CLW) coined the term "suicide powder" in documentation and information releases in 2017. They also called it "Mittel X."
Wozz covers this event, and reveals that the agent was, in fact, Sodium Azide rather than Sodium Nitrite.

This is correct. I used to work at a pharmaceutical company. The expiration date is a marketing decision. Before a drug gets approved by the FDA the company needs to do stability studies. They store the drug for various periods (3 mos, 6 mos, etc) and then test if the drug is still potent. A company cannot start selling the drug until it is approved and the stability study is part of the approval process. No company is going to start off going for a long expiration date (say 5 years) because they want to start selling the drug. So they make a decision from the marketing side. You usually see 24 mos as the standard expiration date. While the company would be fine with 12 mos, the distributors won't accept it because by the time it makes it to the pharmacy it gets closer to expiration. And when people buy a drug they don't want it to expire in a couple of months. So it is a decision that is based primarily upon the selling of the drug and not from the science side.
Most drugs that are stored properly remain potent for much longer than the stated expiration date on the package. Drugs that are powder or or "dry" will last quite a long time if stored correctly. It is just that no company will spend the money extending the approved expiration date. Other drugs that are in gel caps remain strong, but over time the gel caps start to go off. (This is a problem with my stash of temazepam - still good, but the older ones start to smell.)
