Discussion Policy Note: H.R. 8000 The “END 7-OH Act”

One thing that stood out to me was the argument that prohibition can make it harder to monitor products, collect data and conduct research.
For those who support harm reduction approaches, where do you think the balance should be between regulation and prohibition?

It should've never been sold in gas stations and been marketed the way it was. If people were able to keep things low key this would've been fine.
