THIS STORY IS FICTIONAL AND ANY RELATION TO ANY REAL LIFE EVENT IS COINCEDENCE
I needed acetone for a salvinorin A extraction, I had ordered some acetone on the internet and it came but someone in my house got it and hid it so I thought I never received it, but that is another story.
So I went from pharmacy to pharmacy in an area of central Scotland in search of acetone, they only sold it in 50ml bottles for something crazy like £3 a bottle. I asked a man of authority in a certain pharmacy 'Why doesn't acetone come in bigger bottles?', his reply was 'Well sometimes acetone is used for illicit purposes and you wouldn't want that.' and I said okay.
Anyway so I went to a different pharmacy and said 'I'll buy 5 50ml bottles of acetone please' and the pharmacist (for some reason pharmacists are ALWAYS women in Scotland, and I'm not exagerrating, I've been to something like 20 or more different Scottish pharmacys and all of the staff have always been women, no men) said 'Oh you're going to do it that way then.' She then offered to order in a 500ml bottle of acetone which I could pick up from the pharmacy the next morning for £5. I said 'Okay I'll do that'.
So I go back the next day and they ask me for my address which I write down and give to them. They then say 'Okay wait there', so I wait for ages and I then see not one, but two police officers enter the pharmacy. I KNEW they were there for me, Scotland being the shitty police-state surveillance nation it is. I stay calm and 5 minutes later one of the police officers approach me and say 'We've been called round here because we heard someone was purchasing acetone.'.
This event was the only encounter with the police I have ever had in my life. The two officers took me to a small room in the pharmacy where they asked me for my name, address, phone number, my age, what occupation I was involved in and what I needed the acetone for. I truthfully answered everything. They then asked me to empty the bag I was carrying, I was not carrying anything illegal as I knew I would probably encounter the police that day for buying acetone.
They emptied EVERYTHING out of my bag ALL ROUND the room. I had an orange and one of the officers thought I had something hidden in the orange so he poked at it for 5 minutes.
This day I was carrying a pipe, a jet lighter, and salvia leaves. They said 'If you have anything illegal declare it now', I said 'I have salvia divinorum with me'. They said 'What is that?', I said its a plant. They said 'You have a whole plant with you?', I said 'No, I just have the leaves.' So they then asked if it was a legal high and I said 'No.', they then said 'What do you use it for then?'. I didn't say anything. He said 'I can call our people to check if is legal, are you okay with that?', he then looked at me as if he were expecting me to scream 'Okay, its illegal, aahhh'. He phoned his people in another room where they probably told him it was legal.
One of the police officers then said 'Are you sure this is salvia, we can have this sent away for analysis you know', I said 'Okay, send it away.'. One police officer then said to the other 'No don't bother sending it away.'.
They then patted me down and told me to empty all my pockets and take off my shoes, I did and then there was even more of my possessions all round the room.
I was then finally allowed to buy the 500ml acetone, the woman that sold it to me said it was 'PHARMACY NAME WITHELD' that called the police to meet me here, this was the pharmacy I had been to with the man who didn't want acetone to be used for illicit purposes.
I left the pharmacy feeling scared, I will never, ever buy a solvent from a pharmacy again.
Does anyone know how to buy solvents without getting into trouble with the law because I want chloroform but I know if I try to get that I'll probably have SWAT teams sent after me and I'll be tied to a chair, tasered and interviewed.
