I enjoy having the option of buying drugs that are covered by strict regulatory controls. I understand that there is a cost associated with this.

If I choose to forgo that cost and roll the dice that I am getting arsenic as medicine that should be my prerogative.

And it is - you can import those drugs just fine. It simply means you have to jump through some hoops.

What we do not want as a society is that the guy on a corner stall that sells $4.00 USB chargers that may or may not explode sell a million pills to little old ladies which may or may not do what they are supposed to. This is the current societal contract.

[Edit:] Now I personally think we should live in the more Darwinian society and in my view we should allow dude on a corner sell pills just like he can sell chargers and should some benefit manager buy the pills from the corner dude from Nigeria without vetting the corner dude from Nigeria and his suppliers and therefore killing and maiming a few thousand old ladies, we should throw the book at the benefits manager and not the corner dude from Nigeria (who should be thrown a book based on fraud and not manslaughter) but that's just me.
