I totally agree.  and I felt that was what I communicated.  However the
original poster said they saw them in a regular store, which leads me to
assume for any lay person for example to buy, which would not be that good
of an idea due to needing to know how to use them correctly, and under care
of a trained professional.  under these circumstances I can't imagine this
would be a good place to get them or manufactured by companies with benign
interests.  Just an observation not an attack of any sort.  I liken it to
how breast milk substitutes are sometimes necessary but how some feel they
should not be purchasable by general public sans prescription.
