Worthwhile read! I always like to see people change their minds.

    It now costs tens of millions to get a crop through the regulatory systems in different countries.

I've heard this before about drugs and the FDA/other drug regulators- the problem is the argument comes from a world where these things are regulated, so we're free to imagine a world of mom+pop GMO labs and all the fun we could have.

It's possible that other countries have a more lax drug/food regulation scheme than the US or the UK, does anyone have any data on the prevalence of adverse events correlated to the level of regulation?

It's just one case, but under-enforcement of the regulation of cannabis, due to a scarcity of enforcement's resources, is already causing problems in northern California. linky
