  If somebody is fraudulently selling snake oil then prove it transparently in court. If somebody is using heroin then its none of your business.

    > If somebody is fraudulently selling snake oil then prove it transparently in court. I'd rather not live in a society where it takes hundreds, thousands or millions of people becoming sick, injured or dead to eventually bring a class action lawsuit against an entity that was allowed to openly sell snake oil to sick and desperate people for long periods of time. > If somebody is using heroin then its none of your business. It's society's business when a drug with a relatively low LD50 that has fatal interactions with alcohol and many common prescription drugs is sold on drug store shelves as a panacea. Again, we tried this and got Radithor[1] and children's laudanum[2].
