    I would agree, except do not criminalize individuals selling to other individuals, but if it’s stores then I completely agree.

      What do you think a store is, exactly?

        I consider a store to be more of a corporation because of the fact that I can’t go up and talk to the individual who runs the thing in most cases.

          It depends on the size of the store, but that isn’t necessarily true. A lot of convenience stores are franchises, and you definitely could talk to the owner.

          My point isn’t really to define what a store is, but rather to point out that it is really tricky to place blame appropriately when you are banning a substance that people want to buy. How far down the chain do you prosecute?

          Much better to simply teach people the truth about their health and let them make their own decisions rather than try to control and blame, in my opinion.
