People were drinking FourLoko and going crazy with roadflares.

Thousands of babies died.

I thought the red phosphorus in them was used in meth. Either way, I just some last week for my road kit.

I don't know how "controlled" they are.  But I can tell you that if you call Orion and try to order 6 cases, they give you all kinds of runaround.

I went to the local fire supply/rescue supply shop a few months ago and bought a dozen.  No problems, no red tape.

Tell em you are a wildland firefighter, they are used for lighting backfires, as they are lighter and easier to carry a few then a driptorch.... but driptorchs are much easier to use.

Its incredibly fun to walk along flinging burning fuel

well as long as the piles/ brush isnt big enough you are having to run to keep ahead of the flames

Up until just a few years ago, Illinois still required truck drivers to carry either reflective triangles or flares in their vehicle.
This also applied to light trucks, but that has since changed.
