No.

He should instead explode the FDA itself.

A prize structure for "Exploring non-patentable cures" and a mass de-precriptionizing of a laundry list of things as a bare minimum.

I don't necessarily disagree with neutering the FDA itself.

But these aren't mutually exclusive things. Obviously you do think fed decriminalization would be a solid move?

The restructuring I'm imagining would have the "D" aspect of the FDA doing formal grading of everything as it's core purpose.

So - it would eventually get it's stamp of 'not quite full approval', similar to alcohol, etc.

The angst tied up in de-criminalizing it is a useful lever in getting the wider fixes rolling.

While we're at it, "condensers" need decriminalizing, that's effing moronic too.

Think 'moonshine gear'.

Distillation columns start running into "Are you a school, lab, or otherwise certify you aren't going to make alcohol with it?"
