If you want it, you can get it. What you're talking about is
   more a [1]#childhoodruined moment than anything. The world
   is/has been/always will be a dark and disturbing place if you
   look in the nooks + crannies.

   I try to avoid those areas because I don't need poorly made
   pills with questionable value over the 'net, or a catalog, or
   from a guy-down-the-street-with-a-van.

   Yet, someone may feel the need.

   The best we can do, imho, is keep the facade going so that
   _most_ people don't have to worry about the actions of seedy and
   desperate individuals. I don't think humanity has changed.

   Romeo + Juliet had their Apothecary.

   Constantiple in Byzantium had... EVERYTHING.

   Ancient Rome had an amazing trade route and they were trading
   more than just furs. Hemlock anyone? I also believe that Oxy
   shouldn't be prescribe to 11 yr olds or to anyone generally
   speaking. Opiates are a horrible thing, no matter what sticker
   is on the bottle. They're just TOO POWERFUL for human use,
   except perhaps as end-of-life pain-easer. Then again... if
   someone is suicidal and it offers a chance to extend their
   lives, perhaps it's a tradeoff. These are hard questions.
