What kind if criticisms do you encounter and how do you get around them? I imagine there's always that one person...

I was told I once got extremely close to losing an arm from doing similar stupid shit. My respect to you OP, and my admiration for what you were able to synthesize.

Personally, I had my fill and called it a day when we were a bit too careless with Acetone Peroxide.

Yeah, must say, it pumped me up like nothing else. Crazy adrenalin rush. We did some other basic stuff that you'd expect out of chemistry naive teenagers who were self-teaching, but everytime it was a near rush of euphoria watching something you synthesized work.

Ironically, we made nearly equally as big explosions in chemistry class in highschool with jars full of hydrogen and magnesium.

How do you vet your new staff? Ever turned down someone on a gut instinct?
