Tape Residue

[JollyElm]

I still want to experiment on some nasty tape/glue residue, but can't seem to find an answer to these simple questions:

1. Am I allowed to own toluene in California, or will the storm troopers come for me?

2. Is someone allowed to send me toluene through the mail/UPS/Fed-Ex, or is that illegal?

When I asked sellers (from the USA) on eBay these questions, I just get replies like, "California doesn't like kids sniffing the stuff." My response was, "Yes, I know that, but that doesn't answer either of my questions." And their reply? "It's bad for the ozone."

Oy freakin' vey!!!!

Does anyone have any actual insight? I was going to ask someone from back home to ship some out to me, if it's allowed. I'm sure even if I get some, it'll be ineffective, but my curiosity is peaked...and heck, I got all of these masks lying around to protect me from the fumes.

Thanks for the link!

Yeah, it seems it's all based on "...with the intent to breathe, inhale, or ingest for the purpose of causing a condition of intoxication..." aspect, but want to make sure 'Big Brother' doesn't think I'm a glue-sniffing mutha-effer who's ready for a stay in Al Capone's cell on Alcatraz.

I ain’t no lawyer, but I think you’re fine to possess it as long as you aren’t huffing it in the garage . But California laws and what they like to try and arrest people for are often different

Yup, I can smash and grab anything I want from the stores and they won't bat an eye, but have a chemical they deem bad??????? Burn him at the stake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Big Brother spent some time reading Net54, they'd probably think most of us were glue-sniffing mutha-effers.

Now, pardon me while I go back to working on that model airplane...
