What has this Facebook seller actually done?
He has provided a product freely demanded by willing consumers. It is exactly the same as what other dealers do: car dealers sell cars, some of which kill innocent pedestrians; champagne dealers sell a drug of addiction which sometimes leads to violence, rape and murder; motorcycle dealers sell goods which often lead to teh owner's sudden death, breaking up families; cigarette dealers sell a drug that kills millions around the world; and ice-cream dealers sell a product that contributes to the growing scourge of obesity with its rapidly mounting social and personal costs.

Is there any morally relevant difference to justify treating or thinking of drug dealers as different to the dealers in any other product freely bought by informed and consenting adults without intent to harm others?
