PRIORITY:


I think there would be an awful lot of "homemade" stuff and "black market"
stuff for either ABM or teats/bottles  (see the gawdawful stuff pictured in
Milk M and Mdness) if we ever got to legislating this here.  We have too many
resources for people to buy/make stuff with, in contrast to the less developed
world.  Education and the limiting of unfair marketing practices I think are
more the way to go.  Our so called "war on drugs" isn't going very well, RX,
illegal, or otherwise.

As far as "behind the counter" at the pharmacy...I don't know that ther is
that kind of limited access here.  In US, everythning from condoms to cough
syrup is on the shelf, many groceries have pharmacies, and the RX stuff or the
Real Expensive/shoplift risk stuff is under lock and key/behind pharmacist.

Part of the issue is how "controlling" or "paternalistic" we can/'should be
with parents.  Perhaps if we can look at the Public Safety issues, like Infant
Car Seat laws, bicycle helmet/motorcycle helmet laws we might find more models
for "making" someone "do the right things"...
