And so now I write code for a living instead of trying to push the frontiers of medical chemistry :)
FYI I fully get why many chemicals are fully regulated. I recall a funny story from uni and how only the big boss head of the entire chemistry org had the authorisation to handle lysergic acid (precursor to LSD) and he had to be supervised while pouring it/measuring it for your experiment.
