ST1DinOH Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 just curious...well actually i've got a little friendly bet going with a co-worker... i went to the store to buy xylene, the first store i went to said "sorry we aren't licensed to carry that"...you have to go to sherwin williams. so i go to sherwin williams, ask for xylene solvent, they swiped my ID before they sold it to me... so this brings up 2 questions... 1. why would a store need to be "licensed" to sell xylene? 2. why did they swipe my ID at the checkout? were they just checking age or are they required to track purchases of stuff like this... there's lots of theories floating around in my circle of friends...i'm sticking to the theory that it's used in meth production or something of that nature...hence the government keeping tabs on how much a person purchases. either way thoes who keep tabs on this shit now know i purchased a small can of xylene and it's been bugging me ever since. anyone have any idea why i got carded???
asilentbob Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 You are carded for solvents in general. Its just like with spray paint. Or cigarettes. Toluene is generally more linked to drug labs than xylene, but i suppose anything is possible. Why would a store need to be licensed to sell xylene? Backwards laws made by politicians in your state who failed in chemistry class perhaps.

Backwards laws made by politicians in your state who failed in chemistry class perhaps. i didn't know you had to be 18 to buy spray paint... i bet thats got something to do with grafitti or huffing more than anything. either way you are probably dead on with the "backwards laws made by backwards politicians"...thats a safe bet. Kids sniff it to get hgh, thats why they took it out of markers ahh ha damn kids and thier airplane glue. why can't people just smoke weed and stop all this stupid stuff. back in the day when friends and i wanted to party on a friday night we paid someone to buy us beer, or sneaked a sip from dads liquor cabinet, we didn't drink sanitizer and choke each other till we passed out. kids today are just retarded. anyway guys thanks for the quick reply, that satisfies my curiosity.
tentacles Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 I've never lived anywhere that carded for paint or solvents; that's just crazy!
Mumbles Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 When I turned 18, I specifically went to go try to get carded when buying acetone. Didn't work. Carded me a week later for non-toxic whiteout though. Non-toxic means no high. They should know that.
batman Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Well alot of things on the market can be used to get you high, but i dont see every single thing that can create that effect being removed from the shelves. The other day i purchased some xylene my self and when i paid for it the guy at the checkout gave me a weird look and then laughed at me, i was thinking whats going on...... why is he giving me looks. Maybe its some kind of government plan against the sales of xylene.
psyco_1322 Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 Yep wont even let you buy minerial spirits, that shits almost penetrating fluid! That and they wouldnt let me buy superglue either. Thats what you get when going to a big store, its company pollicy. Like wallmart, wont let you buy acetone but I can go down to a partrs store or paint place anad buy it without even a hint of troubles.
ChainSmoker Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Go to Wal-Mart. As a full-grown man, I get IDd for trying to buy GLUE STICKS.
OneEyeCharlie Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Quit your bitchin' I don't even get carded (asked for ID) when I buy a gallon of Absolut. I'll give you an easy answer to your problem... have 3 kids, take on a hefty mortgage, try to pay for dance lessons, gymnastics, birthday parties, etc. Start planning for weddings, college, orthodontics, et al. I promise, you'll have enough worry lines marking up your face that no one will even bother to check your ID when you buy acetone, xylene, glue sticks, Marlboros, C4, or plutonium. Yarhhhhg!
krackerjack9 Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 glue sticks?? whats the deal with glue sticks??? we just got in a 40ft container of them.
OneEyeCharlie Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 glue sticks?? whats the deal with glue sticks??? we just got in a 40ft container of them. I was facetiously mentioning them; hence the inclusion of C4 and Plutonium. It was meant as an indictment towards the current level of paranoia that seems to be pervading the country; not to be taken literally.
John Hinckley Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Xylene is used in combination with toluene to crystallize MDMA. Also, toluene and xylene are used as solvents in numerous drug reactions. That's probably the main reason you're getting carded. Try ACE, they don't card.
