I doubt that. Erasing stigma is an important step in researching these drugs. Reclassification so that they are accessable for research is another. However, proper regulation is required so that you know what you're getting and in the right dosage. The incoming administration want more deregulation. That will mean that quality of supply will be less reliable.

We are still dealing with increaing outbreaks of foodborne illness because of deregulation from the last Trump government. And this affects more than just Americans. I'm in Canada, but because we import food from the US, we are also exposed to these illnesses. My immunocompromised sister had a bout of listeria from food that she should have been able to trust. (I can't remember which food at the moment). I still have granola bars in my home that I haven't disposed of yet which were part of a separate recall.

Proper regulation works quietly for the average person. When it's working correctly, you don't notice the myriad of ways that you're kept safe every day. It's when it fails that we notice.

Illegal drugs are already a black market and that's the context of this reply thread. Feel free to reread it if need be. Nowhere did I say that I agree with RFK's approach broadly as you seem to imply. The comment I made was clearly about illegal drugs, responding to a reply thread about legalization of illegal (recreational) drugs.

And my comment is that, with deregulation, you probably won't be sure about the content, quality, or dosage of legal drugs. If it were properly regulated, you'd be safe.

Also, nowhere did I imply that you agree with his approach. You asked a question and I answered it. I don't have any opinion about your opinion about him. I gave you my opinion about him, the incoming administration, and the upcoming fallout.
