I think its needed to talk about, but its not a pleasant topic or something that increases sales:@a123 If You don't believe any of this then don't believe it. I'm not sure why people are so resistant to the possibility of arrest and criminal charges for acquiring illegal chemicals. I'm guessing it helps them feel better by convincing themselves that it's impossible they will get caught or in legal trouble? Yeah, odds are low if you're not a total idiot. But there is a chance. If you think it's impossible to get in trouble for doing something illegal, you're delusional. I'm not going to pretend to know the details of how that would work, but anything illegal you do there's a possibility of getting caught up in it.
I think the smart move is to conduct yourself in a very reasonable and rational way when buying UGL. Do things as stealth intelligent as possible and know that there is a chance of getting in trouble. It's not a high chance, but it's foolish to think there's no chance.
It makes the seller feel worse and makes new sources more hesitant to start business.
Some people will just attack because of interest or straight up denial. They just don't want to acknowledge that even buying is some risk.
And makes the buyers buy less or stick to buying stuff from local sources without involving any postal trouble. (its usually worse quality and price is 2x+ but its a different topic)
