We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "DIY" saying
something like:

The problem will be finding someone willing to sell it apart from on
the internet. I have tried to buy isopropyl alcohol recently from 2
pharmacies (for cleaning VHS tape recorder heads) but they told me
that they are not allowed to stock it or sell it.
They lie.
The truth is, they have lost touch with their roots and simply can't be
arsed stocking it any more. If it's not packeted, bar-coded, and neatly
labelled, they don't want to know.
Apart from that, the demand for loose chemicals has gone way down, but
it's still possible to get it from a lab suppliers.


Indeed - my experience. I just bought 500ml for about a fiver inc. on
ebay - all fine and good (and expensive!) but I've no way of knowing
how 'pure' it is.


Yeah - might have been cut with trich ...

Don't snort it


It's probably scented water anyway - the bottle has a '70%' label, and
not 99.5% as offered. On raising this with the seller he replied:

***
Awfully sorry but a batch of 99.4% was shipped with the wrong
specification typed onto the label. You have 99.4% in the bottle, it is
simply a typing error.

Incredible - and no offer of remedy.
