    It might depend on how much your carrying. Obviously you want to keep it in its original containers. The DOT (Department of transportation) might require placarding your vehicle if carrying large amounts. If your just transporting several pounds, keep it away from heat and have a nice trip.

    In North Carolina if you buy more than a certain quantity you have to fill out a Transportation permit and carry it with you.

    We were stocking up the boat for a party one time and ran into that happy HS.

    I first thought you were exceeding the transportation limit on powder, and I wondered just what kind of party you had coming up.

    Then I reread.
    Tax evasion is illegal, tax avoidance is an art form.
