ELI5: Is buying piracetam legal?
Original post in this thread

Hey guys, I've been following this subreddit for a long time, but I've only just now gotten the courage to really seriously consider enhancing myself cognitively.
From what I see on here piracetam is a low risk place to start in my journey into nootropics. Can someone explain to me the deal with piracetam. I did a google search and was going to order some from Amazon.
But then my girlfriend sent me a snippet from something saying it's actually somewhat legally grey or technically illegal. So is this just wrong or am I missing something? Any help would be really appreciated.
Note: I live in the US.
TL;DR: Is it legal to buy piracetam and what is the smart way to go about doing so?

Don't buy off Amazon. Go with a supplier that you know sells legitimate product. I would personally go with Nootropics Depot, as they test their product in-house.
It's perfectly legal, and you will not get into any trouble for it. The FDA is asking customs to seize any incoming shipments that they feel are destined for vendors selling for human consumption, but that is just a supplier issue. Once past customs, there are no issues.
