Don't know about enforcement over there though.
And that seems a reasonable balance ??? Or am I.missing something, banning doesn't do shit but make it worse, turning a medical problem of addiction into a criminal one.
If tobacco is still legal to buy at every servo, supermarket and convenience store; and, if Nicorette & Nicabate are still legal to stock within reach of children at those locations; and, if every substance people enjoy legally isn't similarly scrutinized over the generalisation that addiction to anything is itself a medical problem; no, it's not reasonable balance.
Yeah, that's why the Greens opposed prescription. They aren't as subject to the Murdoch media cycle so they're free to point out the issues with criminalisation from an evidence based practice perspective.
