Just because it's from an outside source doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be of high purity. Even big companies are capable of shipping out garbage.

More like it takes me all day to make 20g of iodine and makes a huge mess. I don't even need it for anything, just part of the collection.

Of course they still need to prove intent. |
so these are the max amounts you can possess?
or am I misunderstanding

The laws on precursors and intent are confusing and complicated, and vary from state to state - I don't purport to understand all the intricacies.
However I know for a fact that a number of those, possessed below the threshold given, can get you locked up - anthranillic acid, ergot alkaloids,
isosafrole, N-acetylanthranilic acid, piperonal, propionic anhydride, safrole, 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl-2-propanone (kiss your ass goodbye if
you get caught with 1.7kg of this), and the phosphorus.
They may be able to get you on more of those than I listed. Again, it's hard to know.

Do you understand what less than means? It
means smaller than.
My understanding is that possession of even 1 gram of Toluene with intent to manufacture (or sale with reasonable cause to believe it will be used in
the manufacture of) a controlled substance, is a level 12 offence which is 10-16 months for a first time offender. Replace the 1 gram of Toluene with
3 kilograms of Ephedrine and you get a level 38 offence which is 235-293 months for a first time offender.
For anyone interested, the 2010 guidelines were published yesterday:

Sorry to comment at all but I am sorry that you have to work so hard at obtaining such a rather mundane chemical .....

Wow, really old thread, but it was bumped so I'll say, I never knew para-formaldehyde was so hard to come by... I have a few bottles that I haven't
had any use for in quite a while

"At ReAgent, whenever we receive a request that may be flagged as suspicious, we inform the secret police who can carry warrantless searches on the
premises designated for delivery of said chemicals. Here at ReAgent, we enjoy being part of the police state, and will look for any way to sell out
our customers to the iron fist of totalitarian rule."
This is exactly the kind of company that can go f*ck itself. I understand obligations of companies when it comes to selling chemicals. What I do not
respect are boot lickers who go out of their way to investigate their own customers.
News flash: you dont need lab reagents to make a good bomb. You don't like terrorism? then get your military out of the middle east
As for anyone still buying this war on terror bullsh*t...
How did it go in 1984 again? the populace was kept in a constant level of alert by producing fake threats to panic them into compliance. See any
parallels?

Templar, can you please keep the politics out of the science sections? I don't know anyone here who enjoys chemical bureaucracy or regulation, but all
you managed to do was add an opinion to this thread that was not pertinent to chemistry or obtaining reagents.
You don't like the company? Don't buy from them, and feel free to make another one others can choose to shop at. Then you can deal with the same
things they do.
In addition to paperwork, now some of burden of proof may be shifting to courier services:
