Looks like one of the largest manufacture and seller of "Poppers" PWD (Pac West Distributing) has been raided and closed last week.
Poppers are regulated by a variety of federal and local regulations and legal restrictions, though the status of cyclohexyl nitrite, technically not a member of the class of alkyl nitrites encompassed by the law, remains in question in the United States, as a result of the controversial Federal Analog Act.
PWD had a disclaimer for its poppers products "All our nitrite based products are sold as room odorants, liquid incense, liquid aromas, or video head cleaner only. Although research indicates it is generally safe to do so, we do not encourage the misuse of our products as poppers. We are not responsible for the media claims that liquid aromas or poppers are said to be aphrodisiacs or sex drugs, and we do not endorse such claims. Our products do not contain amyl nitrite or butyl nitrite. They contain highly pure isobutyl nitrite, alkyl nitrites, cyclohexyl nitrite or hexyl nitrites only."
This closing is bad news if you are a poppers user, harder to find and a price increase for sure. So if you haven't yet, make sure to stock up.
