Thanks for the information 41Dxflatine, (your quickly becoming my Obi-Wan), but I guess that plays directly into my concern about these "grey area" chemicals. I just want to get my precursors without anyone noticing or caring. You'll have to excuse me, I'm an engineer, so it's my nature to try to anticipate every problem and have ready made solutions. Unfortunately, back in school when I had to choose between 100 lvl Physics or 100 lvl Chemistry is seemed like Physics would serve me better.
I should probably note that I'm in the U.S.
I think what I'm really trying to poke at, is if I were to order 500g in the mail would that raise an eyebrow?
I don't know what kind of store sells these chemicals, but my preferred method would be to walk into a local store and buy it for cash without having to show an ID.
Thanks for your help guys, and Heisenberg you're probably correct... I should just order from the suppliers on the site.
