I had no trouble creating a business identity in Austin TX -- that's what I'd do. Texas has an anti lab glass law where you have
to list types of glass used to make street drugs. No flasks or condensers allowed without reporting trades to the Texas DPS govt.
agency.

Hmmm.... How about moving to Albuquerque and we can collaborate? I rent a warehouse office space of 800 square feet, (74
meters**2), for $650/month here. NM has "sale" tax on all incomes except stock trades though. Any odd jobs services selling
gets taxed 8% off the top, then there's income tax patterned after the IRS taxes. The real estate taxes are much less here
though, and some houses can be had for under $200k. Also needed here are security measures -- it's the land of breaking bad after
all. No glassware laws, hardly any traffic speeding policing -- probably do what you want in a house if not bothering neighbors.
Alaska and NM are the last frontiers in the US.
