My last roommate was planning on ending his life and once we found out and talked with him about it, the situation escalated and we called the authorities. They searched his room and found this exact product. He bought it off of Amazon.

It’s astounding how many odd chemicals you can buy online without a reason for using them.

Why should I need to give a reason for purchasing most chemicals?

If I did, and was intent on buying this to commit suicide, how long would it take for me to read the extra sentence on the site that told me about sodium nitrite in the first place that would now additionally advise me to say that I was buying it for (acceptable to others) reason X?
