I disagree. Controlled substances should have some guidelines and this seems pretty low cost and low overhead on time.

I do agree that most jobs are over licensed. From barbers to landscapers, there's generally too much paperwork. But I'm ok with something that'll help the 3rd leading cause of preventable death in the country.

It could be summarized to a one page document that you read over, with more resources as optional, and a required click of "I agree, and if I fail to do so I understand that I could be prosecuted". 3 hours seems absurd. I mean, I have to re-up like 7 similar agreements (insider trading, security, confidentiality, anti-discrimination, anti-phishing etc) at my employment and it's usually 15 minutes long or less.

Nitpick but alcohol is not a controlled substance per 21 U.S.C. § 802(6) ("The term 'controlled substance' means a drug or other substance, or immediate precursor, included in schedule I, II, III, IV, or V of part B of this subchapter. The term does not include distilled spirits, wine, malt beverages, or tobacco...").

whoa, you're right.

thanks for the nitpick, I didn't realize Ethanol wasn't actually on the Federal Schedules.
