Reply #83: It must've been red phosphorous

[Nevernose]

Everything else is available both commercially and pure. Ever since the latest regs went into effect, however (in 2002, I believe), red phosphorous has been in demand. One can still get it from matchbooks, fireworks, over the border (dogs aren't trained to sniff it), reuse it, and a few other sources, but it's neither as easy or as good a quality.

You wouldn't go to jail, btw. You'd primarily have violated federal laws, and with mandatory sentencing spent a few years in Leavenworth (or whereever the hell they send federal criminals these days -- usually state pens).
