Drug Purchase Restrictions

consult a doctor. they're probably controlled substances in your area, and people trying to get them illegally makes it all the more difficult for people that actually need them to live a healthy life.

the idea is to reduce risk, not eliminate it. thinking is, if you need 1000ct of any drug, you should probably see a health professional first; if you're going through the effort (and extra cost) of buying 63 packs of it, then there's probably nothing that could be done to stop you from whatever you are trying to do.

99% of people would just find a street dealer or buy off the dark web. You're the 1% that the laws are actually established for.> I can’t believe I’ve been made to do this in order to get medical treatment.No one made you break bad and then brag about it on the internet... Fabricating your own controlled substances is exactly why certain types of glassware are illegal.

If manufacturing is still illegal, you'll have unregulated products. Anything that is more restricted than alcohol to manufacture and sell will have a black market. If you want to get rid of overdoses caused by heroin cut with fentanyl, you have to let Johnson & Johnson make it and sell it at CVS and WalMart.

I don't think they'd be selling controlled substances but who knows...

Not has hard as you think really. Have you tried to buy more than one box of cold medicine that contains certain elements used in cooking meth? Buy too many and you get flagged. Maybe that isn't the policy everywhere, but it could be.

Yes, exactly that. Compare it to designer drugs, where some reasonably well-understood chemical compound is made illegal, with the effect of creating a market for a similar chemical that is worse understood and may be more dangerous (i.e. less beneficial) to the consumer.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designer_drug

I was denied this the last time I tried to buy it and the pharmacist couldn't even tell me why aside from "the system won't let me". I went to a different chain a half mile away and walked out with a month's supply of the stuff. Hilariously incompetently-designed regulation.Meanwhile meth making is more efficient, cheaper, and delivers purer-grade glass than ever.

Exactly. You can buy pseudoephedrine or codeine at the pharmacy, but not too much or too frequently. Party sized amounts of safe drugs could be made available. People who go to far get directed to treatment.

Yes. If they were as widely available, you would be able to know what you're buying, how much and hopefully how to apply it as safely as possible. Having drugs being illegal make them stronger, as they have to be transported in secret, and create derivative drugs to fill lower price ranges for long term addicts, such as crack and oxy.
