Reply #10: yeah, I suppose I realize that...it still seems absurd, though [View All]

like if I wanted a certain kind of booze, let's say Maker's Mark, and I called a liquor store to see if they had it, but they refused to tell me over the phone one way or the other. What's the difference? I know liquor stores have liquor, and drug stores have drugs. If I was going to knock over a drug or a liquor store, I'd probably pick my target based more on how easy it would be to rob, not whether they had one particular thing in stock.

I mean, any pharmacy is fairly likely to have some kind of drugs that will get you high...codeine, morphine, dilaudid, oxycodone, what-have-you.

And yeah, you don't need a prescription for booze, so it's different, although liquor stores also get robbed all the time. It's just one more ridiculous thing in life, brought to you by the wonderful arbiters of all morality who set up our prohibition laws, if you ask me. But then again nobody did....
