illinois meth laws.. what chemicals can I get arrested for having now?

Question by julliana: illinois meth laws.. what chemicals can I get arrested for having now?
I hear they have outlawed owning a certain number or combination of chemicals that are legal to purchase, so having two or three things in combination that are used to make meth can get you arrested now, even though the chemicals are legal to buy. I am confused about these laws.

I have alot of hobbies that entail buying chemicals. I like to make homemade soap, with lye. Sometimes I melt the soap down with sodium carbonate and borax to make homemade liquid laundry detergent. I make homemade candles. I have always enjoyed chemistry and like making my own products.

So sometimes when I am out buying lye and other chemicals I get worried because I hear now they have laws so just having legal chemicals can get you arrested, because meth is made out of legal chemicals. But I’m not sure which ones.

If I continue with my home made soap making and stuff, could I be prosecuted under meth laws for owning the chemicals?
Boy talk about retarded people.

Did I tell you I am an educated person? WHy would I want to fry my beautiful brain cells by snorting draino. HOwever, I would like to make my soap and sell it, for money. And my candles. And be able to clean my house or my drains, without wondering if there is some crazy law against stuff they legally sell at walmart. I just heard mixed things about the law and didn’t want to break the law. If i didn’t care about following the law, I sure wouldnt ask. And if I hung out with dope fiends I would already probably know, as I’m sure thats what they talk about over drinks.
Yikes. Some people are so retarded!
