You're right, the law applies to the seller of the item, not to the purchaser.

If you consider the limit on boxes of paracetamol to be a bad law, the store owners should disobey the law and sell them to you anyway.

Is there a good argument for limiting the number of opportunist suicide overdose attempts? Are these kinds of laws effective? Aren't there almost infinite other ways you could kill yourself that aren't prevented by this law?
