What the fuck? Where? You live in Utah Mormon-town central or something?
You're telling me if I build a still to condense essential oils from my lavender plants, I'm breaking the law, because, I could use that still to make booze?...
My understanding is that it is one of those where you suddenly end up "proving a negative" somehow. Washington State here, but I thought the core ruling was through BATFE. But it could easily just be "our state is the most Karen state evar and proud of it!"
A condenser actively hooked up, bottles of actual lavender oils, etc ... probably not a problem.
Cleaned up and all packed away... "Oh look, moonshine gear" if, of course, they're being assholes.
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.
Condensers?
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?"

Also probably a matter of scale.
