Imagine, a high quality, high potency drug given a clever brand name, attractive packaging, slick advertising - perhaps featuring cartoon characters, and available to all at lunch money prices. Or maybe they envision creation of a cheap labor supply to facilitate competing in world markets. Another favored project, alternative policies on death and dying, e.g., compassionate euthanasia, could serve to cleanse the labor supply of troublesome, non- productive, or elderly ESMs. The mind fairly reels at the endless possibilities and extraordinary profits to be made by those who have venture capital and an ethical void to lead the pack of profiteers into new entrepreneurial opportunities. Of course, California is a natural place to start with its large adolescent population, already decriminalized marijuana laws, and its laid back, tolerant mores.
Happy days are on the way.
