My brother and I joked about it. Then I thought for a second if something happens to one of us and they are searching. They will think we are cooking meth?

    Amonia and bleach don’t make meth. It makes mustard gas.

    As for what the police will think if they search your moms house, you’re thinking about this from the wrong perspective.

    The cops are never there in good faith. The cops are never there to get to the bottom of the real story. The cops are not an element of justice. We don’t have a justice system. We have a legal system. If the cops are already searching your place, they don’t give a shit about your intentions, your behavior, your motivation, or your innocence. They already made up their mind long before they showed up.

    It doesn’t matter what they think. They’ll plant evidence if they find none. They are not above being dirty cops.

    If they’re already searching your house, it’s too late.

      Ammonia and bleach (sodium hypochlorite) make chloramines, not mustard gas. Still very not healthy, though.

    I’m confused, is your mom already in trouble or are you worried she would be in trouble?

    Having ammonia, empty bottles, and batteries is a common thing. Can’t imagine it being an issue.

      We had a leak my brother fixed it but he had to pull out everything… I joked the is mom the new WW or what? She keeps the 2 liters to put sugar water in for humming bird feeders. But it just got me thinking.

    I’m not familiar either, but if your mom is regularly also going through lighters and somehow going through too many glass light bulbs or aluminum foil for any sane person, well it’s probably a good idea to not get supplies for your mom…
