Well, it looks like the Canadian government doesn't want just anyone getting in on their booming business of killing people.
A Canadian man called the "poison seller" has just pleaded guilty to - you guessed it - selling poison.
Here's the BBC on the killer:
A man has pleaded guilty to 14 counts of aiding suicides in Canada after he sold toxic chemicals online.
Kenneth Law, 60, entered the guilty pleas in an Ontario court on Friday, as part of a deal with prosecutors, who withdrew more serious murder charges.
Authorities said the former chef also sold about 1,200 packages of the toxic substances to recipients - who he met in online suicide forums - in 40 countries, roughly a quarter of which were sent to the UK ...
Canadian detectives told the BBC in 2023 that Law ran multiple websites offering equipment and substances to help people end their lives.
This is shocking and disturbing.
Law would stalk online suicide forums in order to sell his deadly concoctions to hopeless and suicidal individuals around the world.
Similar to how the government does it.

Whatever punishment he gets isn't good enough.
The family of victims in Britain called for Law to be charged in the UK as well, but authorities declined and allowed for Canada to handle the prosecution.
Law was connected to the suicide deaths of 79 different Britons as well as individuals in the United States and Italy, in addition to his Canadian victims.
Law was arrested in May 2023, following a complex investigation by at least 11 law-enforcement agencies and involved investigators from around a dozen countries, including the UK, Italy and the US.
His arrest came a week after a Times investigation alleged he was selling poison to young people, after a journalist posed as a customer and spoke to Law directly.
Law reportedly counselled the journalist on how to use his products to 'best ensure death'.
As a reminder, taxpayer-funded assisted suicide is totally legal and common in Canada. But they'll be darned if a capitalist expands into their market.
Canada dropped murder charges against the man in exchange for his guilty plea in the 14 killings in Canada and Law could face 10-20 years in prison.
