Makes for a good reply in chemistry class when the kids ask "When are we ever going to need to know this stuff anyways?".

As a chemist, I can vouch for this guy being a dickweed. More bad rep for chemistry. Say bye-bye to home experimenters.

Have you ever met a highschool chemistry teacher?
I went to some summer school, and with that and first year, I took more chem than the chemistry teachers have to take for a bachler's.
Most teachers learn more about teaching theory and other bullshit than about the subject there supposed to be teaching.

Ah, but I really don't think this is so.
The listed chemicals aren't illegal to posses, only to sell as a regular course of buisness- (though there are illegal assembly and conspiracy/attempt laws that could also be invoked).
But why would this guy have phosphorus? I don't get it... what would you use that for? Iodine can be a neat sublimation expirement.

Red phosphorus is a key ingredient in most popular synthetic routes to methamphetamine. It's used to make a component of the reaction that reduces (pseudo)ephedrine to methamphetamine and to shift the equilibrium of another reaction to keep it from undoing itself when you turn off the heat to the reaction vessel.

oh yeah, I get that part...
I was saying that schools and institutions get accounts w/ chemical suppliers very easy, and can order pretty much anything (legally, so can you unless its scheduled or state law prohibits it but alot of chompanies won't sell to you w/out hassles).
But once you place the order, how do you justify it when the school asks or the DEA wonders what the school is doing w/ red phosphorus?
I've never seen and alcohol-reduction in any highschool nor a general college organic class, that I recall, that used phosphorus.
Just not that basic of a reaction.

Not in this case. Red and White Phosphorus is on DEA List 1. Unless you're a licensed pharmaceutical company, you can't get it legally.

Not true man.
You and I can buy it legally under federal law (at least for red, I don't know about white).
List I only puts restrictions on suppliers, generally. It is illegal to purchase for the purpose of manufacturing, or fraudulently, but you can buy it no probs if someone will sell it to you.
I believe your confusing List and Scheduled terminology, which are not the same thing.
And being a pharmaceutical company has nothing to do with the scheduled drugs per se. Anyone complying w/ state regs and having need of a scheduled substance can apply. This includes researchers in chemistry, biology, pharmacy, and medicine, among others. Plenty of list I chemicals are perfectly innocuous anyways.
I've worked w/ hypophosporic acid, iodine, and consumed ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. None of that was illegal.
Take a look at List II for some real insane shit.

It IS true. Red and White Phosphorus has been DEA List I since 2001.
--
Drug Enforcement Administration
21 CFR Parts 1309 and 1310
Control of Red Phosphorus, White Phosphorus and Hypophosphorous Acid (and its salts) as List I Chemicals
ACTION: Final Rule with request for comments.
SUMMARY: This rulemaking finalizes a September 25, 2000 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (65 FR 57577) in which DEA proposed the addition of red phosphorus, white phosphorus (also known as yellow phosphorus) and hypophosphorous acid (and its salts) as List I chemicals. This action is being taken because of the use and importance of these chemicals in the illicit manufacture of methamphetamine (a Schedule II controlled substance).
As List I chemicals, all handlers of these materials will be subject to CSA chemical regulatory controls including registration, recordkeeping, reporting, and import/export requirements. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has determined that these controls are necessary to prevent the diversion of these chemicals to clandestine drug laboratories.
Given the small quantities of these chemicals necessary for the production of methamphetamine, no threshold is being established for domestic and international transactions. As such, all transactions (regardless of size) shall be considered regulated transactions

No, I was saying you can legally buy it, unless there are some requirements related to the possible pyrotechnic uses of it.
I agree it is list I- just saying their is no reason that in-and-of-itself prevents personal purchase or possesion nor penalizes such in the absence of intent to manufacture or fraud, at the federal level.

You ARE aware that when the DEA lists a substance, you can no longer possess it legally without explicit permission, aren't you?? That's what "Listing" a substance means.
Quote:
As List I chemicals, all handlers of these materials will be subject to CSA chemical regulatory controls including registration, recordkeeping, reporting, and import/export requirements.
That ^^^ means it's against Federal Law to possess it without a DEA registration.
Quote:

That ^^^ means that any quantity, no matter how small, can only be legally possessed by someone with DEA registration.
