[John Cuthber]

Yes.

Why, what do you want it for?

(and you might want to read the forum rules before you answer that)

i am not going to use it as a drug if that is what you thought... i just wanted to see if there was a safer way than heating ammonium nitrate and bubbling it through ethanol. The reason is that i wanted to recreate the barking dog experiment...

Did you look here?

Also, you can do that reaction with NO which might be easier to get (Copper and nitric acid)
