No, things are not black and white. Having a heroin vending machine next to every gumball machine is a bad idea.

Weird. The post you replied to says nothing like that.

Oops, I thought he said "cheap, clean freely available drugs".

everyone has a different idea of freely.

Does requiring a prescription make something not freely available?

What about stores that limit sales (cough syrup or whatever)?

Cigarettes/alcohol have age restrictions and I would call them freely available. I took the comment to mean something more along those lines.

this is a ridiculously uncharitable interpretation of the comment you're replying to. do you expect a charitable response? it looks like you're trying to provoke a flame war.
