Although they argue the positive side, they are still coming from the perspective that, well, of course any access to such drugs will be under the supervision of healthcare professionals. I don’t think we need “kindler gentler” gatekeepers. If I Were King, adults would be able to choose their own advisors, do their own research, and make their own decisions.
