Wow. I'm not sure what I said to invite such derision
but my point was that a "war on drugs" should be
focused at the drug people. Do you disagree?

If that is "the law" in your area then fine. I have
bought needles in my area recently by taking in a
solder paste syringe and shwoing the pharmacist, and
offering to blunt the needle before leaving the shop.
Any pharmacist worth a poop can tell the difference
between an electronics nerd and a needle junkie,
and probably better than a cop can.

As to what planet i'm living on, it sounds just
a fraction nicer than your planet...
