Real chemists know you use a strong base rather than a strong acid to dissolve “organic material.”

I don't believe it, sounds like a lye

Sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide work really well, also known as piranha solution.

You’d be surprised what a decently strong acid mixed with hydrogen peroxide can do.

Except buying bulk hydrogen peroxide is enough to get you on a list on it's own. They'll assume you're concentrating it for explosives manufacturing. There aren't many believable reasons to buy bulk hydrogen peroxide unless you're a chemist.
