Home chemistry (or "Amateur Chemistry") is a hobby where one studies and practices chemical reactions in the space of their own home or property be it by tinkering with a small chemistry kit or a fully decked-out home lab.
Rules:
All submissions must be about home chemistry. This can be anything from sharing a picture of your home lab, a video of a reaction you just did, discussing how to carry out a reaction, where to obtain reagents or apparatus, home chemistry communities, or even legal/societal issues concerned with home chemistry. This is not a homework help sub.
No giving advice to people on how to create illegal substances such as outlawed recreational drugs. Posts about energetic materials will be monitored with much caution and may be removed if the intentions of the poster appears to be threatening.
Absolutely no misleading another user in an attempt to harm them. If it is discovered that you are giving advice to another user that will likely lead to them getting maimed or killed, you will be banned. An example includes advising a person to combine two substances in order to create a target chemical but in reality, the reaction creates another chemical that is easily lethal to a person with out that person's knowledge.
This is not a sub for trading or selling chemicals for whatever purpose. Show and tell all you want but no passing anything around whatsoever. Links and recommendations to third-party sites that sell chemicals is allowed as long as the site is not linked to the selling of illegal drugs, explosives, or other such substances.
