How true!  Like the ban on neonicotinoids.

Yep! For Sure! Calif might get that ban thru in maybe 10 plus years.. maybe never.

Iddee, that is great news.  :occasion14:
 I just found this post today and have already sent notice of it to the agricultural extension services here in Israel. 
Hopefully, they will follow suit and help along with the processes involved---making the oxalic acid and the crystal vaporizers available easily.
Previous attempts of mine to get ahold of OA "for bleaching wood" have been unsuccessful---OA simply isn't available here.

Can you buy it on Ebay

Post by: efmesch on March 15, 2015, 08:39:07 am

I'm sure that I can ----the problem is getting it here, not only a question of the cost of international shipping but one of clearing customs.  If it's not an officially approved item, it would most likely be intercepted and confiscated.
