Just thought I'd put this out to you guys. It's probably not something a lot of people think about very often but I thought some of you might want to know that if you buy large volumes of Heet and/or IsoHeet you might show up on the drug enforcement peoples "radar". Apparently people like to use these innocent looking products in making crystal meth. It's nothing new to some but.... well check it out if you're interested.

Granted Portland is prety far from some of you guys, but supposedly meth started up on the west coast and has started making it's way east in the last few years.

I'd just like raise awareness of how simply purchasing everyday simple products like this can put you on a watch list as a potential "cook" or something.

Ugh. Welcome to Washington. In Spokane they have signs on everything about Meth and everything is locked away now.

Yeah it's funny how it seems like a lot of the sites I'm finding are based in the north west. But that is probably just because they have established a sort of virtual infrastructure here.

I'll see if I can dig up some more informative stuff for you guys.

Just what everyone needs. It's just like the press to tell everyone what the weaknesses in a system are. Like where our national defense is lacking...

yep, I heard a list of big cities that are least prepared for a terrorist attack on the radio. people in the media have absolutely no sense of responsibility of what they report.

Portland is only 20 minutes from me

But yeah there is a lot of stuff here we have to show ID to purchase such as some cold medicines.

Speaking of which I just ordered 3 boxes of aleve allergy sinus from drugstore.com. I hate standing in line at a pharmacy just to buy some damn sinus pills. I figured I'll just stock up and save a little on shipping. Buying online seems to be much less hassle.
