RMS, I think you will fail for the following reasons: 1. Being based closely on a plant is not good enough: even if you patent the release formulation, it is too easy for someone to copy. This means you'll never be able to sell it for enough money, to make it worthwhile doing the unbelievably huge investment in clinical trials and FDA bribe money needed to get it permitted. 2. There's too much vested interest in the regulated market of patentable drugs for them to stand by while you sell a pill that is equally (in some cases more) effective but based on a plant. Anything that grows on trees is quickly smeared and banned on the thinnest shreds of evidence. Having said all that, I have no problem with your product being sold as incense to whoever wants to consume it. But you'll remain a cottage industry for the foreseeable future.
