No such statement shall be subject to subpoena nor shall the same be exhibited or disclosed before any administrative or judicial tribunal by virtue of any order or subpoena of such tribunal unless with the consent of the applicant furnishing such statement to the State Chemist. The disclosure of any such information, except as provided in this section, shall constitute a misdemeanor.
