Just be prepared to have the Drug Enforcement Agency pay you a visit if you live in the USA.

Too many Methamphetamine labs using the stuff here to go unnoticed, not to mention that if some redneck goes into one of these 
places asking for chemical/biological grade tubing the FBI might pay a visit too, we have had some of those problems lately.  Our 
far right is pretty extreme, and are suspected for sending anthrax to Democratic leaders.

Twenty/Thirty years ago the world was a less f**ked-up place, at least everyone knew where the other guy stood.  Sorry for the 
reality check folks, but someone had to point out the facts.

All such purchases should be scrutinized, with good reason.
