amateur chemistry

So... cooking meth?

nah, that's generally frowned upon among the people who do chemistry at home both because it's not economically viable, will get you in jail and it may cause further restrictions on chemicals, which nobody wants or needs

I mostly do energetics/explosives on a small scale and the occasional organic synthesis

if you want, there's an amazing yt channel called Explosions&Fire which perfectly encapsulates the whole spirit of doing chemistry in your shed
