THC and CBD have a much broader user base, though. Lots of folks will use one recreationally and will try the other medicinally before considering medical-grade heroin or even recreational heroin. Even in that case, occasional users are more willing to take a lesser amount by mouth and as a bonus, the yeast gives us another way to make legal opiods.
IIRC, we also use yeast to make insulin now.
Which does mean that things like Humira - or at least precursers to it - might some day be made like this. The bigger issue with Private Person making it rather than the labs is that Private Person doesn't always do safety procedures. Sure, You the Individual might, but random Private Person probably won't. Better to buy treatment from somewhere else and look for solutions to high drug prices in other ways until we can make this safe for the general public. (Also, if you are using Humira: Sorry about that bad health luck).
