    I don’t think “unconstitutional” is the word you want here. There’s endless things you are not free to purchase or choose for yourself.

      “Unconstitutional” == I don’t like it

      Literally as deep as most people’s understanding goes.

        It’s more like unconstitutional == government overreach

        Also what language do you code in?

      Not going to argue about whether or not it’s constitutional (because I don’t know), but I just wanted to point out that this case is slightly more complicated than just “you’re not allowed to purchase”. It’s “you’re not allowed to purchase BUT other people are”. Which means it’s potentially a question of discrimination, which is maybe not as cut-and-dry as a “normal” law banning a substance across the board.
