I would like to order piracetam through the pharmacy I work at, but what's the exact legal status for piracetam powder?

So I believe my research is complete and I'm ready to test out piracetam/choline. I'm a pharmacy student and a pharmacy tech at a very large pharmacy that compounds. I can purchase bulk quantities of compound quality piracetam powder, but the person that does the orders feels like there is no way I can just buy that as if it were OTC.
I've spoke to a pharmacist and he has never heard of it being used, but is actually very interested in what I've told him. All I can find is the FDA warning that doesn't allow it to be sold as a "dietary supplement".
So what I ask is, does anyone have any info on it's legal status that would allow me to buy pure piracetam powder through my work? And also, I may be wrong and this may be illegal, so either way some insight would be greatly appreciated.
I can't remember the exact price I may purchase it at either, but I didn't think it was too high and I would avoid all shipping fees.
Thanks ahead of time.

Well, apparently piracetam and similar nootropics are completely unheard of in the pharmacy world. No one really knew what I was talking about. But after a little research they approved the purchase. They were just a little concerned about leaving the measuring of each dose in my hands.
But I've never purchased this stuff before so I need a little guidance from you guys. After my employee discount I could pay ~43 bucks and receive 100grams of powder. Wholesaler price was $33 and my employee mark up made it around that.
Is that a good deal? Also there would be no shipping so it would be a flat 40something bucks.

That's is not that good of a deal. I just bought 100g for $10 shipped. However, it's pharmaceutical grade, so it might be worth it just for purity and testing sake. You would need a scale to weigh it out. Then you can either just swallow it or cap it in 00 pills.
