Regulated Chemicals - Illicit Uses and Threshold Quantities


[Edited on 19-10-2010 by asewercoon]

ScienceSquirrel - 18-10-2010 at 14:49

I am not sure what point you are trying to make.
There are limits on chemicals in the UK and EU but a lot of chemicals are routinely available despite controls.
At the end of the day; acetone, sulphuric acid, diethyl ether, hydrochloric acid, etc have important light industrial uses,
I run a 40 litre brewery that is near commercial.
I use kilograms per year of bleach to clean the brewing vessels and the barrels used to store the beer.
Small pottery shops, welders and plenty of others need chemical supplies.
Choke off the supply of materials they need and either the jobs they support or could create will not exist.
The USA also needs jobs and a traditional source of jobs is small start ups that grow.
Lots of regulations, no start ups and no new jobs....

asewercoon - 18-10-2010 at 15:13

absolutely right.. and if you have good intentions with these chemicals, you need not worry.. these chemicals however although not illegal, are regulated and watched, and will get you scrutinized..

just trying to provide some general info i didnt see posted elsewhere here. :)

You didn't "see" it posted elsewhere? Where did you look? If you put "DEA" and "List" in the forum search box, you will see that this is quite old news.

UTFSE.

Welcome to Science Madness, you little twit!

It seems you may not understand the concept of "Threshold Quantity". Thanks for educating us.

UKnowNotWatUDo - 18-10-2010 at 15:45

Oh I get it. You found the site, decided that none of us would POSSIBLY know what in the world a watched or listed reagent was, and decided to be the biggest newb in the world by simply copying and pasting this list from another site onto this one. No doubt to "warn" us amateur chemists that if we were to be as as stupid as you appear to be and try to order a 30kg barrel of methylamine to cook up ourselves some m3th then something BAD might happen. God, thanks for the heads up. I wonder why in the world you didn't see that giant ass pic/list posted anywhere else here on this site...

asewercoon - 18-10-2010 at 16:14

search it yourself.. pages deep i didnt find it listed on this site.. seemed like one it should be on.
and as far as it being OLD NEWS? that would be any posting of these lists prior to the revised edition just released last month. stay on your p's and q's.

also i posted the controlled substance list too, flame me. i copied it from the pdf's off the DOJ site, the ONLY site currently online that has this information up to date. made a nice text list so a search on this site for a chemical thats on it would bring the lists up as a warning; and made jpg's of the pdf's for easier readability/archival purposes.

if you have something to add thats useful, well, you probably wouldve done that then... kudos.

^ being useful would have been noting changes

Rogeryermaw - 18-10-2010 at 17:21

useful would be reading the rules about posting enormous pictures that stretch the page beyond readable bounds...

asewercoon - 18-10-2010 at 17:41

you're welcome.

obviously if one cannot glance at the list and notice changes outright, then it is not as general knowledge to some as others; and a comprehensive, updated list should be kept onhand so that users may see if it affects their hobbies.

thats what she said.

Rogeryermaw - 18-10-2010 at 17:46

one of the general understandings here is that no one gets spoon fed. it is generally understood that if you have the intelligence to handle chemicals then you should also have the intelligence to do a little research. this list exists in many threads and it should have been posted to one of those to reduce the mountains of trash we have to wade through to find information that is actually useful.

mnick12 - 18-10-2010 at 18:05

Im not quite sure what the fuss is all about, personally I like the idea of having an updated list on sm. Not only is it nice, but it is also quite convenient now I dont have to open a new browser to look up these things.

jon - 22-10-2010 at 14:30

what would be especially useful is the special surveillence list and, the chemical combinations that alert the DEA.
would one of the resident agents on this board care to share this information with us???

Those are most likely obtained using TFSE along with certain select member aliases. You know who you are.;)

jon - 22-10-2010 at 21:29

not to mention there are suspicious quantities below what a particular business would order that sends up red flags.
and entropy, there's a lot of things omitted from that list.

This bloke had only the best intentions yet was flamed for his efforts. I am relatively new to this forum, though not science, and those that use such aggressive tones do nothing to make this a pleasant stimulating place to reside and further our pursuit.

jon - 22-10-2010 at 22:04

welcome to sciencemadness!
we are MAD scientists afterall

Agreed, no need to rip this guy apart. If you don't like the thread then hit the back button. If you need a way to feel high and mighty, then go flame someone on a different message board.

I found this thread to be somewhat interesting. I know about the lists and all that, but never bothered to search for it and have never seen it laid out in a chart.

I can give you some examples. I don't see phenyl-2-nitropropene or any substituted phenyl-2-nitropropenes on the list. I am sure that if you attempted to purchase phenyl-2-nitropropene from aldrich you would be immediately reported.

Those are pretty obvious examples. A good rule of thumb is that if it isn't used for anything but making drugs it is most definitely a watched chemical regardless what any list says.

Agreed. What are we a bunch of gorillas (answer: evidently yes)? A simple explanation of what was wrong with his post would suffice. I found this rather redundant but he meant well and he should not have been met head on with our all-too-common chest beating.

Entropy, could you please at least try to stop being so abrasive? It doesn't seem to be very conducive to a pleasant forum environment. People make mistakes. I would say I'm very good at "UTFSE" and do so the majority of the time. Do you think it would be appropriate to "scream" "USE THE FUCKING SEARCH ENGINE" to me for a simple mistake? If so, perhaps it's time to learn how to better treat other human beings.

asewercoon - 30-10-2010 at 09:48

nice (special surveillance list) i forgot that existed. any more official lists out there?


but yea i started these threads because its nice to know the technical boundaries and have these discussions.. i guess really like was said dont be a fool. i even have a poster a friend got from the office room of a gas station years ago, that was from the sheriffs department telling the clerks to watch purchases of everything from coffee filters to rock salt.

Rogeryermaw - 1-11-2010 at 20:40

i didn't flame any one. i simply pointed out some rules that have been related to me since i started here regarding the size of pictures and research versus spoonfeeding. that being said i do appreciate the effort and the idea but i also hope that those of us who do practice this particular art, while being careful, will realize, that unless you stick to the baking soda volcano, you will be under scrutiny. most people in their padded room reality are just looking for a witch to burn at the stake so even if your chemicals are not on these lists, the fact you have taken an interest in chemical reactions has placed your head on the block.

I often feel this way myself...then I wonder if it is just paranoia...too much reading of this board, etc. However, I never talk about chemicals per se with my aquaintances. I just say I'm doing metallurgical testing of ores or making dyes. Eyes glaze and they soon lose interest. If they only knew what chemistry was involved in the making of mundane products.
