   Almost always always.  There are very few examples of counterfeit booze in   
   the UK.

   There is a market for any form of pharmacutical.

   You need to provide evidence of these food touts and these illegal abortion   
   clincs you claim are in operation.  I've enevr heard of any illegal   
   abortionists operating in the UK since it became legal, but myabe you have   
   such evidence?

   It costs a few pence to make many drugs.  Cancer drugs have had heavy R&D   
   involved and so will cost much more.  Many meds are so cheap you'd be better   
   off getting a pivate script rather than paying the NHS charge!   
   Why would many of the drugs not be sold?  The vast majority of street drugs   
   in the UK are safe or else people would not use them.

   If a person is addicted to it they could supply it as part of a dru   
   treatment programme like they supply stop smoking aids.  They cna supply   
   alcohol to in-patients and this is more common than many people think.
