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?"

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.

Also probably a matter of scale.
