Pure capsaicin: is it a controlled substance here in the States? If so,
anyone have a good cite/site?

I seem to remember hearing it was (controlled) on one of the hot sauce
shows but I'm doing a ****-poor job of proving it. I need the info for
another forum I'm on.

Thanks.

Pure Capsaicin is about 15-16,000,000 Scoville units. You can get it
at: http://www.sweatnspice.com/hot-sauce/blairs-6am.php
Although I can't understand why you'd want to, especially at that price.

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

If capaicin is a control substance, that it would presumably be
controlled by the Food and Drug Administration. I don't think capsaicin
is a controlled substance, but you could check http://www.fda.gov to
verify that. I think that label on that bottle of hot sauce was just a
marketing gimmick though.
