Hello everyone. I've already asked this question before but I am extremely worried so I am asking again:

Will there be any problems if I order SN from DMC directly to my house? I live in the United States. i want to make sure this is legal and that I won't be causing problems for my family, who also lives in this house.

Thank you. I appreciate any insight, especially from those who have ordered from DMC.

I ordered from DMC back in December to my address, and it got delivered without any issues. Don't really know about the legality, though.

It's not illegal, but some states are considering legislation that would ban it.

Can you please confirm that it is not illegal right now? I am currently in NY state. Is it OK to order it to my place, as I also don't want it to cause any trouble to me (I live with roommates)? I am very worried right now and I would appreciate your honest answer. Thank you!

"Section 1 creates a new section of the General Business Law to prohibit the sale of sodium nitrate or sodium nitrite to individuals under the age of 2, requires businesses to check ID for the sale of sodium nitrate or sodium nitrite, and creates a fine of up to $250 for a first offense or $500 for subsequent offenses."

Nowhere in here does it say that it is illegal to buy (or use) it in New York. What is illegal is for businesses to sell it to anyone who is under 21. They are thus required to request proof of legal age.

It appears to be the same for California.

It seems that at least one state (Illinois) is considering legislation that would ostensibly make using it for an attempt illegal.

For California it's a bit different.


"On or after July 1, 2024, it is unlawful for a person, retailer, or online marketplace to sell sodium nitrite to a person under 18 years of age."

"It is unlawful for a person, retailer, or online marketplace to sell sodium nitrite in concentrations greater than 10 percent to a person 18 years of age or older."


So it looks like it's still illegal to sell but nothing about possession from what I can see

To be sure, SN is legal in the US!
You shouldn't have any problems.
You're doing nothing against the law. 🤗🌹💔

"(g) Seventeen-year-old Tyler Muhleman from the City of San Jose tragically took his own life on May 25, 2021, after easily purchasing cheap and highly pure sodium nitrite from an online marketplace that delivered the deadly product to his parent's home. Muhleman was preparing to graduate from high school and excelled in academics. He loved playing the drums in his school's marching band. He also competed in a roller hockey league in the City of San Jose. The County of Santa Clara Medical Examiner-Coroner's Office confirmed his death was caused by ingesting a lethal dose of the chemical." and this:
(f) Poison control centers throughout the country have reported a 253-percent increase in self-poisoning with nitrites and a 166-percent increase in fatalities in 2021 compared to 2018.
