Let's get one thing clear. In the United States, there is no such thing as evidence based, harm-reduction focused, internally consistent drug policy. Doesn't exist. As it stands now, chemicals are banned, legal, or prescription only based almost entirely off of whose wallet is affected/ was affected in the past. Substances are not evaluated by the same criteria because of the problem you described, the social context.
