I think its pretty amazing your CVS has a security guard

Two guards on each side of the pharmacy in the back usually. A step up from the typical rent-a-cops. These guys are armed. I've seen some local police moonlight there.

The joys of living in the inner city, where your pharmacy is a prime target for prescription drug theft.

Waiting periods I would think would help more for suicides then mass shootings.

Also unless your paying cash for each transaction you make you should recognize that your purchases are being tracked already

That's a county drug store, not city.

Usually a mass shooting is a suicide

You can thank meth for that

I thank meth for everything.

Well now that whites in the suburbs are doing it we can focus on compassionate care and ending the drug war

It probably more about the ubiquity of drug usage and the conversation that are in pop culture helping change views too. I saw the Times and some UN proposal recently to treat drugs as a health issue instead of just criminalizing aspect, so it's just a matter of time before we start to seem some meaningful reform. Prescription drug abuse is much more of a problem up here then the illegal ones, you're always hearing about oxy problems.
