No, no one should do this.

First off, definitely don't mail anything hazardous. You're mostly putting postal workers at risk.

Second, the instructions in it were written by an angsty 19-year old, not a chemist or weapons expert or bomb technician. Trying to actually make these things puts you at risk.

Third, if you're going to talk about this book then it really is necessary to talk about the historical context that the author wrote it in and how he regretted it after, and what the consequences were:

[...] and the incidents where the book was found among the belongings of the perpetrators, including, but not limited to, the Columbine High School massacre, the Arapahoe High School shooting, and the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting, as well as a number of assassination attempts on government officials.
