I don't understand what the problem is selling a pipe or such. It's not
causing people to go out buy drugs and smoke them. If someone wants to
use crack they're going to find a way to do it whether it is with tin
foil and a straw or with a light bulb. Now if you could buy crack at
your local neighborhood store that might be something to take issue
with. I don't think hiding paraphernalia is going to lessen the use of
crack. It's not addressing the actual issue of drug use. Also, it's not
the same as restricting the sale of sudafed (or at least tracking its
sale) because that is used to make the actual illegal substance. And
you can still easily buy it, it's you can't buy massive quantities of
it all at once.

Nope, as my insulin taking Mother found out when visiting here last
year. She could get her insulin refilled, but her prescription for the
syringes had run out so she could not get the very tool needed to take
the insulin the pharmacy sold her.

selling empty syringes?
