Are you suggesting there should be no controlled chemicals? No pharmacist?

No, that was not my point. > What if the expectation is for fewer people to use less of them due to higher hurdles? That's the very reason why "first dose is free". Many people are sucked into drugs consumption either for fun at parties or because they're lured into substances by "friends". Unfortunately, once they're dependent it's too late to put obstacles on their way.

I recall accompanying someone in Mexico who had to get their life saving asthma medication in one of those unregulated pharmacies that don't ask questions, because they can't afford to see a doctor to get a prescription.
