Poison some you don't like :roll:

It really isn't that dangerous you know! Unless it happens to also say demethyl on the pot. :shock:

Don't worry guys, it's not like I found it puddling on the floor and licked it up or something.

Still in the original supplier containers. Seems like the council may be my best bet. Seems so wasteful though, can I not make a hat?

 

[IDB1]

Apparently safe enough in a sealed container..

Put it on a shelf and call it Freddie. . . or Keith

That's actually where the phrase "mad as a hatter" comes from. Probably not a great idea!

 

[Mr Chicken]

knowing the local councils they will prob ship it to india and let them dispose of it.
