It is banned as it can be used to make explosives. So you can thank
our Pakistanis friends for that.

Not sure. Stand to be corrected, but I think you will find it is the

That is no longer true, it can no longer be used for that as it is
treated with a fire retardant.


The fire retardant just means your dead and dry weeds don't go with so
much of a WHOOSH if you try to burn them later. All I'll say is that
I've made fireworks with the stuff in the past. My interests were only
pyrotechnic not malicious, but trust me when I say that despite the fire
retardant you can still use it to make very powerful explosives - no
problem.
