I got all downvotes when I suggested NH legalize paint thinners and other solvents that I can buy in MA, ME and VT. Y'all are racist against me having a clean bathtub. Well guess the fuck what I used xylene I bought in Mass to strip off the paint job I messed up and it looks FANTASTIC now.

I'm holding a grudge on this. Let me buy my industrial solvents in state or I will badger my reps to ban the devils cabbage. I don't care if it's illegal I just beak the law. whoop de do.

And while we're at it I also want strychnine. I don't know what for yet but I want it.

Maybe try using cannabis oil to remove paint?

Next time I will try it but I have my doubts usually you want the opposite of oil for this stuff. It was enamel paint that doesn't come off easy not fucking watercolors.

All kidding aside, I understand your frustration, and it hits a very important point. I’m also sorry that you are picking up a lot of downvotes.

So we elect people to office, they get the idea that a law should be created - but they may not look very deeply into the matter, and their reasons for pushing for a law may not be based upon facts and evidence. In your particular case it is fair to ask if the solvents you use are really causing a problem, and if so, what are the options?

Problem or not the fact remains that I can go buy them in any neighboring state just like people do with weed. I don't use such solvents very much but I was astonished that they're not available in NH and just a handful of other states like California.
