minus-squareDasus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-23 months agoWell not exactly. With a prescription system, the default is that you don’t have a prescription, and get one if there’s a reason. With this system, the default is (people of age and other possible requirements) have a licence, and it gets taken a way if there’s a reason. Like the difference between OR and XOR. Similar, yes, but still different and for different purposes.
