thanks too bad it's such a monster of a document. looks like they have bongs syringes and all sorts of stuff listed there though so there must be all sorts of caveats allowing for different levels of restrictions on sale and possession cuz I can definitely buy both of those no questions asked

Ya thats bullshit.
That article assumes low white population=Diverse.
Congratulations Latinos (probably 80% of which are Mexican) out number whites(which are most likely from all over Europe ethnically) Go figure huffington post has major white guilt 
New York is so diverse in every way you can think. Ive been to both cities man that is just a shit stat. There are so many immigrants in New York, I’m sure there are plenty in houston too but they are more likely than not they are Mexican whereas in new york they can literally be from anywhere on the globe. You can hear almost any language in new york. You hear spanish in houston.
Plus New York (london and paris) are so much bigger and more important. I don’t mean to talk shit because i love houston but come on man. You are acting like Houston is one of the worlds great cities.

Basically you can have the glass if you register every piece of it before you buy it and if you do you have to consent to inspections, this is from digging around in some old sciencemadness threads and I don't have any references at the moment

But if they find it
Sec. 481.081. CHEMICAL LABORATORY APPARATUS TRANSFER PERMIT. (a) A person must obtain a chemical laboratory apparatus transfer permit from the department to be eligible:
(1) to sell, transfer, or otherwise furnish an apparatus subject to Section 481.080(a) to a person in this state;
(2) to receive an apparatus subject to Section 481.080(a) from a source outside this state; or
(3) to receive an apparatus subject to Section 481.080(a) if the person, in receiving the apparatus, does not represent a business.
(b) The director by rule shall adopt procedures and standards for the issuance and renewal or the voluntary surrender, cancellation, suspension, probation, or revocation of:
(1) a permit for one sale, transfer, receipt, or otherwise furnishing of a chemical laboratory apparatus; or
(2) a permit for more than one sale, transfer, receipt, or otherwise furnishing of a chemical laboratory apparatus.
(c) A permit issued or renewed under Subsection (b)(1) is valid only for the transaction indicated on the permit. A permit issued or renewed under Subsection (b)(2) is valid for one year after the date of issuance or renewal.
(d) A permit holder must report in writing or by telephone to the director a change in the holder's business name, address, area code, and telephone number not later than the seventh day after the date of the change.
(e) The director may not issue a permit under this section unless the person applying for the permit delivers to the director a written consent to inspect signed by the person that grants to the director the right to inspect any controlled premises, record, chemical laboratory apparatus, or other item governed by this chapter in the care, custody, or control of the person. After the director receives the consent, the director may inspect any controlled premises, record, chemical laboratory apparatus, or other item to which the consent applies.
(f) The director may by rule establish security controls and provide for the inspection of a place, entity, or item to which a chemical laboratory apparatus transfer permit applies.
Also the sites you'd buy it from normally, won't sell to texas. Although Im sure you can get it on the dark net

uih, no. this is not based on conjecture. this is based on an article I recently read. it has to do the energy industry. try doing research instead of just having intuitions. come check out houston, dude. it isn't just blacks, whites, hispanics, and asians. we have people from EVERYWHERE.

Texas - where you need a permit to buy an Ehlenmeyer flask, but it's OK to store 100 tons of ammonium nitrate in the middle of a town.

I live in Calgary and would say its a very clean city and for an engineer it is a great place to get started and get some experience. It's much easier to get work here than probably anywhere else in NA so it could be smart to live and work here until you get more experience and it is easier for you to get a job wherever.

Maybe I'm not picking up on your sarcasm; but I also live in Dallas, and it's a pretty cool city. Good people, good drugs. Big enough city to have tons of variety. 
Though if you're a pessimistic introvert who never gets outside, anywhere is going to suck. You can't run from yourself.
It's the laws that I hate along with the weather.
edit: not to mention almost every cop I've met give or take a few have been extremely rude even when I haven't committed any crimes.
I'm sure it's a lot better if you aren't a drug user, but being that I am, it's pretty unfriendly ime.
