Why stop at “grow”? I don’t see why the federal government should have any say over in what chemicals I might want to purchase or manufacture.

There is a bit of a your fist/my face issue. I don’t want my neighbor operating a meth lab in his shed or building an atomic pile.

Devil's advocate: (I won't take on the atomic pile question since we're talking about consumables)

Operating a meth lab is dangerous _because_ it's illegal. If it were regulated and licensed, it would be no more dangerous than say operating an 18-wheel rig.

Your comparison only holds if the rig is filled with the dangerous constituent chemicals, which are also regulated by government.

Exactly. Regulated, not banned.
