If you think this is about weed, perhaps I can get you to vote for Hildebeast. I don't smoke, sell, or injest any drug. I do have a problem with our government jailing people for selling LEGAL substances. Making these substances controlled by pharmacists essentially makes the pharmacists responsible for the jobs cops should be doing instead. This is not going to stop the production of meth in ANY way.
Uh, right. Stunning logical progression there, sport. Interesting that you'd want to persuade me in that direction though. Hmmm.
Anyway, I know what this is about. This is libertarians whining about the evil government burdening meth labs uh, store clerks. Of course, nobody here actually wants meth, it's just the principle of the thing.

Oh I agree. If these people were truly not aware of the meth world, they did no wrong and should not be incarcerated. Even if they sold truly neutral items, like camping fuel, and knew it might be misused, they should walk. If they sold a dozen boxes of behind-the-counter cold meds at a time? Sounds like a willing accomplice to me.
We could make it all prescription-only again, but we all know that isn't what you folks want. You want fewer evil big government drug regulations, not more. Not that any libertarians would buy the stuff. Just the principle, you know.
Libertarians spend A LOT more time (30-40% by your estimation) whining about our nazi-like government jailing innocent people just for selling ILLEGAL substances (that they don't use, of course. It's just the principle). This is not a conservative value, but one much more aligned with the aging antiwar hippy type.
Look at the posts on this thread. See any that sound anti-American/"Mother Sheehan"/Michael Moore/moonbat-ish?
