1. If you are talking about Ammonium Nitrate, I don't think so, not since the Oklahoma City Bombing, but I will check. this seems to be the stuff (NH4NO3), a salt of ammonia and nitric acid, used widely in fertilizers and explosives. The commercial grade contains about 33.5 percent nitrogen, all of which is in forms utilizable by plants; it is the most common nitrogenous component of artificial fertilizers. Ammonium nitrate also is employed to modify the detonation rate of other explosives, such as nitroglycerin in the so-called ammonia dynamites, or as an oxidizing agent in the ammonals, which are mixtures of ammonium nitrate and powdered aluminum.http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/21045/ammonium-nitrate after further check I guess if you can prove you are a farmer you can still buy the stuff,
