Well, having never seen one, let's still have a shot...
It WILL have the words FEDERAL on it somewhere and a number...
That translates to it being an (a) easily tracked (b) FEDERAL (c) official document
I don't know for certain (and can't be asked to find out - GEEZ, you in?)....
But that forging that could easily translate easily to somewhere between a year and a decade right there...
Not to mention the effect of that forgery on the jury members who are trying to decide if the forger/utterer of forged document were purchasing (or attempting to purchase) chemicals for a legitimate purpose or not... Odds are they might even conclude that said individual (or worse - group of individuals) were maybe, kinda, beyond a reasonable doubt, up to no good... Quite frankly, I'm hard pressed to even imagine what non-illegal, alternative hypothesis could be raised for forging a license to get restricted chemicals
The chances of getting caught would have to be huge - these things aren't normally a blank cheque, they merely mean that once the chem company confirms the (a) existence of the license and (b) the identity/etc. of the holder, they CAN choose to ship chems to said individual/company...
What the information on there means - simple... PAPER TRAIL
