I'm trying to help neighbor find out what his 17 old would be doing with several ampules of ammonium sulfide.
 From what i've been able to find on the net this is not a very safe thing for teens, or anyone without experience to have. 
 Thanking freepers in advance for comments

    It sounds like something that could go into meth. But it's also part of what mcveigh used in his bomb.

    hydrogen sulfide,better known as H2S is poison and highly flammable,it can kill in a few seconds and ignights very easily.

    You've been around hydrogen sulfide. It's that rotten egg smell at a marsh or in stagnant water. It's a byproduct of anaerobic bacteria, and pretty toxic. 
Doesn't have much use as a poison, though, because it's so dang stinky. It's a big part of what makes sewage smell bad. 
I'm going with the stink bomb hypothesis. Iron filings and sulphuric acid will do it too.
