What's needed, largely, is a system to make the regulatory bodies more objective and more independent, as what you get currently are regulatory bodies dominated by the interests they are supposed to regulate. The FDA is dominated by big drug interests, so it would make sense that they would freak right the hell out when anyone tries to rock the boat.

The FAA ones seem the most sensible. They don't let people put stuff really high up in the air without a permit because there is a lot of air-traffic, and if that guy who had gone up 15,000 feet had (for whatever reason) gotten hit by a plane, or somehow caused a plane to crash, there would be a huge public outcry about stopping people from messing with the flights. Especially because if you can put a 6-pack of beer up to 30,000 feet, why not C4 or a grenade?

I agree that lighter regulation needs to be made on Coca-based products, with only the production of street-grade cocaine being ultimately illegal (that being another one of those drugs that's just going to mess you up, moreso than weed).
