Murray.. This is something I can see turning into a very big problem.. It really is a worrying thing that people " if they deserve that term " can make this stuff knowing it could kill someone just in order to make money..,

Sorren, so true. Making money at all costs is quite deplorable. It reminds me of a germane quote from the actor Sylvester Stallone who played in the Rocky movies:

"There's a natural law of karma that vindictive people, who go out of their way to hurt others, will end up broke and alone".
Sylvester Stallone
