PerPLexED reckons a new sub-thread under safety should be created: Pretzels, soap, and shirt dying. He isn't sure what DMT is, but he wandered to this site when he found many people talking about soap making and shirt dying but he can't find any good teks!
He also says, be careful no matter what. Even if you don't do anything illegal, you can be in jail waiting to prove your innocence (what happened to innocent until proven guilty), lots of valuables destroyed/stolen from authorities. It's as simple as them getting ticked off, you getting cuffed, and having no money to get out, no money for a lawyer, and losing years of your life even if in all actuality, youre doing nothing illegal.
Not sure about other states, but in california,
its considered paraphernalia to be in possession of something that can be used for illegal substances
(this has been told straight from 2 cops when asking if it was legal to smoke hookah in a public place). Now, the way perplexed sees it, this is to cover if someone has -obviously- been using but has no more on them so the police can take them away for having the device to smoke it. So, if someone gets a really dickwad cop, even cigarettes can be used to make joints therefore they are paraphernalia. Although this won't happen, little things like this can screw ANYONE over.
Things PerPLexED has done to avoid being red flagged is not doing things to get red flagged.
He has a blogspot for him and his friends party business, where they will dye shirts and print interesting artwork on it.
Also, perplexed has been very interested in handywork and works with a company(volunteer) to earn experience. He is very sensitive, and anyone watching him work will cause psychotic episodes and trigger deep psychological issues. This being said, he buys his NAOH from the dog that works with the company via cash. Also, he doesn't volunteer.
