It's aluminum and ammonium nitrate iirc and it's not exactly rocket science to make.
Same deal with ANFO, which also goes boom.

It's not legal in a bunch of states and on some federal lands. I'm too lazy to google the exact list of restrictions.

Now if you want a real fun time go make some nitrogen triiodode. Kid I knew in HS made that and left it to dry on the floor in the garage. His mom saw the powder and decided to sweep it up. She was not impressed...

But that's the same kid that hooked a 1F capacitor (from a Betamax - they used them as backup storage for the clock) to the mains and blew a hole in the floor...
