What do the two have in common you may ask aside from the obvious analogy?
Well, just as those....eh.."magazines", pesticides sold on Canada's Prince Edward Island are now relegated to behind-the-counter-status.
Now, anyone wanting to purchase a potentially toxic pesticide/herbicide must specifically request it and a duly-apppointed, informed store rep must give the consumer proper instructions as to its usage and (hopefully) its potential hazards.
No one's preventing the sale of these items. Just making sure that a consumer really knows what they're getting; whether its appropriate for a specific targeted pest; and how to use it. IMO, these products are dangerous enough, but left in the hands of the ill-informed who might skip over the "use as directed" part of the label, makes these products downright lethal. Kudos to P.E.I.!
