Driving it through FDA trials does though. We've set up a system where we don't let new drugs hit the market unless someone spends billions on testing. That's...mostly good? I guess? But there's no way ketamine will ever be approved in the US unless someone finds a way to charge $7k a dose for it, because otherwise nobody is going to spend the money for approval. I mean, nothing is stopping you, RIGHT NOW, from crowdfunding a campaign to get the normal version of ketamine through trials, and once you did, it'd be legal to prescribe the "normal" version, and it'd cost a few dollars a dose. Which would (it seem) be a big net benefit to humanity! It's just, you know...how would you make that work? The cost structure is not favourable.
