> Needles get shared because they're not legal to buy OTC

-_-

Seriously, fuck this bullshit. Syringes with needles and isopropyl alcohol not being sold without prescription. I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.

I complain about anti-depressants and some other drugs not being available OTC, but this... just why...



This is me being naive I guess, but isn't anti-depressant withdrawal super dangerous mentally? Not sure I'd want that to be OTC if that's the actual case.


Yes it is, but imo it's also a reason for it being OTC - you get diagnosed by a doctor, you go get what you're prescribed (without that piece of (e)paper).

If you can't get a prescription, or if you move, you're gonna have some bad time...

Then again, I think people should be able to get what they want, but that's clearly stupid if applied to the average...
