that hits close to home. I had a search warrant executed on me after ordering small amounts of very ordinary lab chemicals that MAY be used for some more nefarious purposes as a Teen.

It’s what pretty much killed my passion for chemistry, i was admitted to undergraduate chemistry instead of my remaining years of high school thru a program offered here in Germany and stopped after my parents, somewhat pre-disposed to such things due to being afghan immigrants during the war on terror, ceased supporting me in my pursuits. I’m working on my biochemistry dissertation now, but "only" to get my German MD-ish (Dr. med.) and still regret it sometimes.
