Your second and third point are completely independent of the substance at issue. So by that logic, we should test everything that is “safe”.

Prayer? Meditation? Garlic? Red wine? Cannabis?

...I mean it is a big loophole. Something I've wondered about for years is V-8 juice. Seems healthy, but what about the psoralens in celery?

I'm not saying that everything does need to be tested, but if you don't, you don't really know and no mental gymnastics can change that.
