Seriously... I understand the concerns here but I'm so disturbed by some of the comments, like the idea that "teenagers would almost certainly not be interested in learning how to cure meats." Statements like that make a lot of prejudicial assumptions. I'm so tired of kneejerk reactions that X is involved in some tragic events so we should ban them, as opposed to looking deeper into the real reasons things are happening. It's much easier to blame Amazon (who I do not have positive feelings about) for selling sodium nitrate than it is to deal with the socioeconomic and environmental circumstances leading to someone wanting to kill themselves. Pills and purchasing restrictions have become the "let them eat cake" of the 21st century.
