Today I learned that it is illegal to sell tritium in the us but it is not illegal to buy it in the us…so here is a website selling tritium trinkets that come from taiwan!

They are like glow sticks that last for 10 years, it is perfectly safe unless maybe you were drinking liquid tritium for a few weeks.

    Since when is it illegal to sell tritium in the US? Gun companies selling tritium glow in the dark sights all the time.

      Actually now that you mention it I think you are half right after looking into it more.

      It does seem like it is actually heavily regulated and not necessary illegal, but I guess this would mean illegal for unlicensed people to sell.

      If I had to guess most sellers in the us with tritium in their products aren’t selling tritium but rather selling procured items with tritium and thats probably a legal workaround for that.
