A little late for back-to-school shopping, but a welcome development nonetheless.

How convenient you can get your smokes, and liquor, right after you pick up your medicines for cancer, and liver sclerosis.

It's cheaper than prescribed medications.

This would make things much more convient.

12-18 months to get permission to sell a legal product?! That is excessive govt interference in business.

FACT CHECK: It was a Republican Congress that passed the law prohibiting sale of alcohol in places where there are pharmacies. You can thank YOUR party for the excessive government interference. Why did they pass the law? Because they were protecting our children.....it's so Republican, isn't it?

liquor laws are a state and local thing, Congress doesn't enact them.

I'm a Libertarian, my party hasn't enacted anything.

This is a no-brainer. Why they ever prohibited alcohol is beyond me.
