*shakes head* it's more complex than that.

A ton of people die how? Pharmacists know their paitents better and can therefore prevent bad interactions.

So, basically, you're reasoning is: "because I say so and it's more complex"?

yes, it's more complex then "someone didn't like it" If you disagree, provide more concrete objections. You assume that the pharmacist will automatically know all medications a person is taking, you assume a pharmacist will take the same level of care as a doctor? How is that any more free? And, I really don't want highly addictive substances so available, that's the matter of public interest that gets the government involved. Yes there are examples of overreactions, MDMA and Cannabis among them, but you don't want to return to opium dens either nor encourage high levels of addiction that results in negative social behaviors to get the next fix.
