I want to ask if owning sodium/potassium cyanide is legal in eu (czech republic to be exact) withold licensewoelen - 28-8-2019 at 23:41
It is legal, but there will not be many suppliers who are willing to sell it to you. But if you can find one, or you can make it yourself safely, then
you may have it (in small quantitities).Bedlasky - 29-8-2019 at 03:45
I send you message in to U2U about it.DavidJR - 30-8-2019 at 12:54

That is not correct.
HCN and metal cyanides (except ferrocyanide/ferricyanides) require an EPP licence. However, other compounds containing a cyanide group are not
licensed.
I have plenty of (legal) acetonitrile, for instance. And even if you don't count organic cyanides (nitriles) then there are inorganic nonmetal
cyanides like ammonium cyanide... and "fun" things like dicyanogen and cyanogen halides.Fery - 30-8-2019 at 17:57
Cyanides are classified as T+ in CZ (T+ means highly toxic).
Read the Law 258/2000 Sb, ยง 44b. You need university degree in chem, pharmacy, medicine, vet, etc or successfully pass special examinations...
But you can perform experiments using cyanides under surveilance of someone who is competent in handling such chemicals according the law mentioned
above.Fantasma4500 - 4-9-2019 at 23:31
i believe in EU the law is that you simply have to keep poison locked up responsibly such as in a metal locker with lock, it isnt quite clear really.
could be country specific, im not 100% sure.Mabus - 16-10-2019 at 12:34
Does that law you mentioned specify if it applies to private individuals or research labs/companies only?roeintgen - 17-12-2019 at 12:18
No, it's not legal for you. But if my guess about your end product is right, the legality of those steps involved shouldn't really matter to you. I
think that NurdRage has a video on how to make it.
