This is a good point, but still shows how our laws and the reasoning is never transparent. I wonder what they really are up to? It obviously opens the door for other regulated products (as in more profitable) will now have a higher demand. The FDA is the mobsters in America by the way.

  Not my favorite government institution. Off the top of my head, there's the constant flip-flopping on what's healthy and what isn't (often unrelated to scientific consensus), there's their handling of consumer gene sequencing, there's the downright dumb laws on medical devices (ask me about the fun and expense of getting a freakin' CPAP machine), their ignoring scientific consensus on cannabis.. "Mobsters" implies a level of malice for profit that doesn't exist.. but I'd settle for "criminally incompetent and neurotic". I honestly think the IRS is better staffed and more reasonable as an institution than the FDA, yet the former is almost universally (undeservedly so) reviled.
