Why is SN so easy to get, and how long til it's banned? (UK)

[Deleted member 22624]

It's definitely not my first choice given the seizures but I'm wondering how long I can wait before I buy some, I really can't have it knocking around for ages. No idea when I'll CTB but I sure as hell don't want to find myself unable to get it. How long til it'll probably be banned in the UK? I'm wondering if the only reason it hasn't been banned is they think it's an unpleasant enough of a death for most people to avoid it??

We can't know when it will be banned. But judging by its ever rising popularity, it may come suddenly.

Thanks. I wonder if it's easy to make

Seizures?

I'd bet not. Though laws don't become effective the moment they are passed, you may notice they are threatening to "ban" SN and still have some time to get it.

The general consensus is that they will never ban it outright but restrict purchasing to only businesses, universities or labs like they have already done in Canada. I imagine it's only a matter of time until that happens in most countries.

Damn

SN should be shelf stable for quite some time though if you bought it and held onto it just keep it somewhere cool and dark.

A SN death should not be a painful or particularly unpleasant one. Especially not if you plan, prepare and research facilitating it.

Trayus here took only SN, nothing else. Had they followed the PPHB or Stan's guide, their death would likely have been a more peaceful one.

How long til it'll probably be banned in the UK?

As for your question, nobody knows how long till it gets banned. But this is the UK, so I'm definitely expecting it to at some point, or at least for it to be HEAVILY HEAVILY restricted.
I don't think SN will suddenly drop off the market i.e. one day you can buy it, the next you can't. Rather it will just become increasingly, increasingly, increasingly difficult to source over a period of time, if laws are introduced.

Some people think it will never be banned, because of its use in curing meats and such - SN is very useful. This is why (as you asked), it is "so easy to get".

maybe its not banned but its restricted

It's easy to get because it has so many uses I think, most industrial chemicals are actually pretty easy to get, even obviously dangerous ones like acids or solvents.

That being said it is being made much harder to get here in Australia, the government reclassified it as a dangerous substance and now you need a license to buy it so most local vendors aren't an option anymore. That said, I was able to find one anyway ;)

That's interesting, I tried to order from a lot of them but got no response or got a flat out no

 

[AJ95]

I was lucky I guess, there was also a NZ based company which seemed able to mail it to me.

Local one had next day shipping too once they got it in stock

Isnt it already banned though? It's not like you can go buy it anywhere without actually having a license in the UK right, like in most parts of europe... Well at least as an household you shouldn't be able to get your hands on that in the uk...
