I was thinking of the London list, and this thread, about a drug which isn't actually illegal in the UK (it's prescription-restricted, but not illegal at all to possess) but selling it in public in a pub as if it is. I mean, WHAT. There's stupidity that isn't actually illegal but is nevertheless blithering.
That seems sensible enough, you are allowed the drug if a competent expert has determined it is in your best interests to have it, but as you are not yourself qualifies to make that decision you can't transfer ownership to others.
