Don’t forget the DEA. The reason the Varda team even took this long is because they couldn’t get red phosphorus.

- mikeyouse 3y agoYou just have to be registered / approved with the DEA — most labs are and can freely order phosphorus and almost other chemicals with no further burden. Seems like Varda didn’t have any prior use for restricted chemicals so they hadn’t registered yet, a not uncommon situation that will be quickly resolved for their next attempts I’m sure.
