Your reasoning is flawed and non sequitor. And by the above reasoning should 
the CIA (since they are more or less crack dealers - or at least dealers in 
multi-ton lots of cocaine) - should their assests be seized also?

How about weed killer? How about paraquat? It's poison and by your reasoning 
should be illegal. If every poisonous thing or something that could be 
considered harmful was illegal you wouldn't have water to drink or food to 
eat. Did you know that eating a dozen or more potatoes could cause death?
Imagine - 5 and 10 lb bags of this "poison" are being sold in supermarkets 
EVERY day!

Does that include Clinton and the CIA?

Yes - and the united states is NOT Thailand. In Iraq they cut off the hands

Does this included the US gov't? What about drug companies who put full size

their drugs?

What's wrong with non-alcoholic beer? All it is water, brewed hops and barley 
-how can that possible hurt a child?
