The were burning it near my house one time and I had it all over my bottom. Was horribly painful, but I'm basically immune to it now. It's weird how some allergies get worse after repeated exposure, but some your body figures out it's not bad and ignores it.
I had full body poison ivy one summer from doing a baby wipe bath while camping. That was a very unfun month. I still have scars. I can’t imagine the damage a lotion would do.
The government takes a long time to build a case against you. It’s takes time to setup stings and entrapments like they did to Randy Weaver. Gubment don’t run fast.
My former employer tried to set me up for embezzlement. They had a search warrant and raided my home within 3 days. No arrest. It then took them 3 months to realize that I had receipts for everything they took and they had been conned. They were really pissed when they realized the retail value of what didn’t have a receipt was $13. They thought they had a “slam dunk” $80k embezzlement case.
But guns are legal… sell a plant oil that’s poison that can irritate your skin, you’re fucked… manufacture a killing device and sell it country-wide, you’re good. Just make sure you’re 16.
I personally know of at least three people, that if sprayed or pranked with this substance, would almost certainly die from the exposure. And from what I’ve seen of them having even minor accidental exposures with the plant, breathing in the smoke from the plants burning in a controlled marshlands burn over 20 miles away, or a even something as unlikely as washing their spouses laundry a week after he went hunting and was specifically being careful to avoid walking through any poison ivy while heading to or from his stand- their death wouldnt be swift either, modern medicine would try hard, but because they’ve all had very serious, life threatening reactions before, they all know the next exposure could be much worse and will likely result in very slow and agonizing death while every steroid, antihistamine, and would debriding method is tried to stave off the inevitable, at least a bullet is quick.
Because it can cause major anaphylaxis in those never exposed to it, lasting scars, if it gets into the lungs it's got a pretty good chance of being lethal , being sold under intentional harm methods that fall under poisoning laws, because technically it's creating a bioweapon as the intent is harming others, bonus if he mailed it out it's like mailing anthrax.
It’s not that it took the FBI 6 mo to catch on - they waited to see him grow and track his sales revenue in order to slam him even harder so it hurts more
I’m guessing the charge was like “producing chemical weapons without a permit”. In all likelihood he just didn’t give a cut to America’s oligarch owners, so they sent their bully boys to end it.
My boyfriend and I decided to fuck in the bushes while on a drive up highway 1 going to Big Sur, we fucked in poison oak. I’ve never had it so bad, I had it literally everywhere including my balls and dick. My clothes literally stuck to me for 3 weeks. I’d take super hot showers to “itch” it all.
Well, it's one guy selling. Idk if he made a label for it with a logo and all. But it would take a bit of time to set up some clientele. You sell it to friends and family. Or give some away and let word spread about it. 6 months sounds about right in order for him to get caught. People Going to emergency rooms due to the stuff. ER notice an increase on patients with the same shit so they start asking questions because the patient would at first think it's pepper spray or something at first. Then the cops would ask questions as to who sprayed them and such. Then they would ask where the person obtained the stuff from and so on.
"Hey guys, I have a brilliant idea for a business. The idea is we hunt down 1%'ers, take them out in the middle of the night, and divvy up all their stuff. It should be immensely profitable!"
Bro wait till you hear about these things called 'guns'... they sell them too and I'm pretty sure the fbi already knows about it. But hey it's not as deadly as poison ivy.
6 months seems pretty quick to all things considered. But yeah as a chemist he definitely should have already known what he was doing and the laws against it.
He should have sold it as a tolerance product. Put a little on every day until your body gets used to it. He wanted to eradicate poison ivy reactions from society
You can’t sell it. But you can open a non profit for domestic abuse victims and provide a “Gift” to the donors for every specific amount they donate. Make sure 10% of all that’s donated goes to abused victims. The rest is “operational costs”.
Some people have such a bad reaction it could potentially kill someone. Plus I don't see it working like pepper spray, there is a delay, it's not like poison ivy burns when you touch it. You don't know for hours sometimes a day or two later, but I have no idea what the pure form would do.
So in theory, you can sell it, just not 100% pureness?
Like nicotine.
I bet it wasn't the purity level, it was the fact he was selling it as a weapon.
Like caffeine.
I think the key issue was that they were selling it to people with the purposes to use on other people.
You can sell pure but apparently for only 5 months lol
Well pretty sure this is possibly under biological warfare rules not entirely sure. Someone good with the law chime in.
"criminal facilitation" applies, especially if he marketed it toward assaulting people.
Just think Somewhere out there is a karen with poison ivy spray.
Imagine that shit in your lungs
Urushi is used as a lacquer in Japan.
FBI: it’s just weally weally hawd to cwatch the bad guys 🥹
I'm wondering if this has any implications for my struggling castor bean oil startup.
Damn I hope it goes well for you. I'm off to ask my lawyer about my hemlock facial.
Ricin is supposed to be fabulous for the skin, right?
I was clearing some weeds and my wife told me "that's poison ivy" to which I said "I grew up in the sticks, I am immune to this shit".
Next time don't rub your dong on it lol.
dude. hot showers are the worst thing you can do for poison ivy. I know they feel good, but they are exceptionally irritating to the skin.
My sister was in the hospital for two weeks ones because of poison ivy. She still Has the scars
The were burning it near my house one time and I had it all over my bottom. Was horribly painful, but I'm basically immune to it now. It's weird how some allergies get worse after repeated exposure, but some your body figures out it's not bad and ignores it.

condolences on that shit. I've had bad interactions with poison ivy but a full-body reaction is a nope and a half from me.
The government takes a long time to build a case against you. It’s takes time to setup stings and entrapments like they did to Randy Weaver. Gubment don’t run fast.

They were really pissed when they realized the retail value of what didn’t have a receipt was $13. They thought they had a “slam dunk” $80k embezzlement case.
And I think that they have better things to do
And I’m sure every briefing and meeting involved someone saying, “you’re shitting me right? I don’t believe this… go prove it”
It does when it wants to. It just doesn't want to most of the time.
Where can I get some?.. asking for a friend
On a poison ivy plant
FBI relys on tips and informants. They're not clairvoyant, you know
I was thinking: I don’t think the FBI is grouped around the telephone, begging it to ring so they finally have something to do…
I like that guns aren't extreme enough. They need poison spray.
Lmao okay it's not literally poison, it's an irritant from a plant called Poison Ivy.
But guns are legal… sell a plant oil that’s poison that can irritate your skin, you’re fucked… manufacture a killing device and sell it country-wide, you’re good. Just make sure you’re 16.

What guarantees the gun will be used for bad purposes? What good purpose can this oil be used for? Let that simmer a bit.
Wait what law is that?
Can anyone explain why it’s illegal? I might be ignorant but wouldn’t it just be super painful?
Because it can cause major anaphylaxis in those never exposed to it, lasting scars, if it gets into the lungs it's got a pretty good chance of being lethal , being sold under intentional harm methods that fall under poisoning laws, because technically it's creating a bioweapon as the intent is harming others, bonus if he mailed it out it's like mailing anthrax.
Protitution is against the law
Not if you record it and pay taxes.
He has the mouth of Wallace for Wallace and Gromit.
We’re just out here believing this made up story?
It took the fbi 6 months because they were too busy staking out school board meetings.
I don’t understand is why are guns legal to be used on other people but this oil is somehow illegal?! America loves oil
He should have sold napalm instead, that's full of oil!
This guy is such a douche bag
It's a bit stupid to arrest a man who maybe found a better alternative to tear gaz. I mean I'm sure the natural way is better.
They just wait till it's a ridiculous fine that you have to pay. That's big brother for ya
Pretty sure using something that you can use to potentially kill someone as a joke or act of revenge is illegal.
It’s not that it took the FBI 6 mo to catch on - they waited to see him grow and track his sales revenue in order to slam him even harder so it hurts more

Ngl I really thought he was going down the walter white path
This would be a game changer for those that aren't allergic. Lol
6 months? That's pretty fuckin fast for the FBI.
I almost died from poison ivy when I was 12. Fuck that shit.
I fucking love the chemist 😂😂
My boyfriend and I decided to fuck in the bushes while on a drive up highway 1 going to Big Sur, we fucked in poison oak. I’ve never had it so bad, I had it literally everywhere including my balls and dick. My clothes literally stuck to me for 3 weeks. I’d take super hot showers to “itch” it all.

But you can buy a gun. America is insane
So pepper spray is fine but poison ivy isnt? Must be more deadly more often or something?
But you can buy a bag of assault rifles at Walmart. k.
What the hell would that stuff do to your eyes
"Hey guys, I have a brilliant idea for a business. The idea is we hunt down 1%'ers, take them out in the middle of the night, and divvy up all their stuff. It should be immensely profitable!"

Non American here. Is poison ivy really that poisonous? I thought it just causes a small rash
There is no sentence on earth long enough for this man. Good lord poison ivy is the worst.
6 months seems pretty quick to all things considered. But yeah as a chemist he definitely should have already known what he was doing and the laws against it.
That’s illegal? What is this? 1984?
He should have sold it as a tolerance product. Put a little on every day until your body gets used to it. He wanted to eradicate poison ivy reactions from society
James Butler on youtube/tictok. Funny guy with tons of small buisness stories
You can’t sell it. But you can open a non profit for domestic abuse victims and provide a “Gift” to the donors for every specific amount they donate. Make sure 10% of all that’s donated goes to abused victims. The rest is “operational costs”.
It’s obvious camera guy snitched on his friend shame.
Not sure if it was a direct snitch but this man is definitely living the snitch life.
Sounds like the dude needed to be snitched on.
Some people have such a bad reaction it could potentially kill someone. Plus I don't see it working like pepper spray, there is a delay, it's not like poison ivy burns when you touch it. You don't know for hours sometimes a day or two later, but I have no idea what the pure form would do.
FBI was busy trying to get political prisoners for the DOJ.
