Health Fears After Drug Bust
Lessons I learned from reading the articles in this thread:
1) Don't sell.
2) Be careful of online orders for glassware/chemicals that have a meth association.
3) Don't allow anyone to see that you're doing extractions, or see the chemicals.
4) Store larger quantities (more than a gram, say) offsite. (Oh and, when moving storage-sized quantities, don't DRINK AND DRIVE!)
5) Don't be in a constant "extraction state." Get some serious extractions done, store the bulk offsite, and only have a small supply where you actually live.
6) Find GOOD stash sites in your house. I won't mention them here, but for small quantities you can be VERY creative.
7) Be a bit careful about how you dispose of garbage. You can toss an empty naptha can and emtpy NaOH container on the top of your garbage can on garbage night, OR, you could tape them up in a carboard box, and put the carboard box into a plastic bag with general household refuse...
The ultimate paranoid's (like me) plan:
1) Do all the extractions (of everything) you could imagine wanting.
2) Store bulk offsite.
3) Destroy and discard all relevant glassware and leftover chemicals.
4) Stash small quantities carefully at home.
5) Have mere residential-type steel doors, with breakdown-proof deadbolts and hinge protectors (cheap and easy)--no home invaders (of the "legal" OR "illegal" type) can break down your doors. Giving time to destroy/discard any small stash at home after a "knock on the door."
