It was Paracelsus who said ‘Dosis facit venenum’ – only the dose makes it a poison. The same goes for these precursor substances that can be made into explosives. When substances like hydrogen peroxide, obtainable from pharmacies, are sold, the seller must take special care to ask what the product is to be used for. Instructions on how to make explosives are still easily found on the internet, and they recommend pharmacies as the place to buy the materials. As a result, there is a constant stream of seriously injured youngsters who have paid dearly for their curiosity about explosives; and, in the past, the police have found chemicals bought from pharmacies for illegal homemade explosives intended for use by criminals and/or terrorists. Again, it depends on the dose. If we think how easily pharmacies can be fooled by a large number of people all buying small, unsuspicious quantities for illegal drug manufacture – not to mention the drug smugglers – it is obvious that there is no way of plugging all the loopholes. Here too, then, we cannot have unnecessary interference in people’s private lives in the name of the fight against terrorism."@en1
