So that knocks the whole thing on the head then...

pity, I was just about to start sourcing glassware!

From what I read that is banned now isn't it as it's been linked to causing cancer? Root beer drink used to have it but these days it's been removed due to suspected carcinogenic links.

You'd probably blow yourself up!

As another ingredient on there is sulphuric acid?

Seems it's banned from food and medicine in the USA, not sure about anywhere else. Not sure whether to believe the list in the link below but it wouldn't surprise me if the Yanks had banned all these things, they have that sort of mentality...

Are you calling my chemistry skills into question?

I may be a little rusty, but as for the H2SO4, there are lots of other chemicals needed for the synthesis which could be dangerous if not handled correctly.

On a slightly different subject, the statistics in the link below are interesting. Perhaps today's youth are not as interested in drugs as we thought? Must be us oldies keeping the trade going!

BBC News - Is the teen rebel a dying breed?

That first link isn't working.

No I'm not!

I would think it would create a lot of mess and take up a lot of space to do that and if you made mistakes perhaps would have to start again. Not that I planned to - I researched it for a story I was researching.

It's possible that Internet and mobile phones etc taking up kids time these days and creating this over all sense of well-being, that previous generations not so involved in technology to this extent didn't experience, and expressed themselves through identities that involved rebelling via taking more drugs.
