I say yes. But, I work with them professionally not in the US. They are banned in my country for personal/private use. Working with commercial/professional quantities and the safety around them provides more enjoyment to me than weaker, consumer grade where the danger is still the same and the effect is much less. I watch these videos of backyard displays and they all explode at the same height and it's just too messy. But thats me!
