What is PURE SN used for (other than suicide)

[Insomniac]

I'm asking this because I'm trying to figure out how to source it in my country.

What do people do with pure SN?

I believe it's used for curing meat, and I've also seen SN used to cure salmon eggs for making fishing bait, but I think that one has other stuff in it too.

That's the common use it seems, so people posing as a small store or game hunter seems to work. You could order some and explain it's a plant fertilizer, and "accidentally" getting the wrong package. NaNO2 is the SN thingie, NaNO3 is the plant fertilizer, and both roll on the tongue nearly the same way, nitrite, nitrate.

Would it be a good excuse if you're a bit scatterbrained on the regular?
