how old do you have to be to buy salt peter?

Question

i was just wondering

Answer 1

I believe that's an aphrodisiac that was popular some years ago. First of all, I have no idea where you'd obtain it, and secondly, if you're under age, I doubt that you could buy it.

Answer 2

You don't have to be any age. It's over the counter. ....Interesting though.... why would a youngster need salt peter unless he was planning on experimenting with making explosives? It's potassium nitrate... as anyone knows, that nitrates are used in explosives. Last I checked, you could buy it at any drug store like CVS. It's the main ingredient in Black Powder.

And to correct the lady with the first answer it's a anaphrodisiac not an aphrodisiac. It's to prevent people from having sexual tendencies, not to induce them.

Answer 3

Given that saltpeter has a variety of uses, you could probably buy products containing it without an age limit. However, using a product inconsistent with it's labeling, (such as using fertilizer for dangerous recreation ) may be a violation of federal law.
The myth is that saltpeter is secreted in the food or drink of enlisted men to curb their libidos. This is untrue. Salt peter is also known as potassium nitrate, and is used in things like fertilizer, model rocket engines, smoke bombs, tree stump removers, used to be a common ingredient of salted meat, toothpaste, and ice cream.

Answer 4

You can go to the farm store and buy salt peter as long as you can pay for it Age does not matter.

Answer 5

You are making sausage. It is a preservative . You should be able to buy enough for your purposes.

The old tales go that it prevents a man from preforming. But that has never been proven.

Enjoy
