Wow. Maybe we shouldn't be so open and honest with our knowledge if people like this guy are going to be the ones misusing it. I completely understand the desire to go underground after reading this. It's even making me question my own behavior, and even innocent conversations I've had with people. Maybe not so innocent.

Sounds like that guy should've had meth in his apartment, not bark and solvents.
