I'm not sure if this sort of mainstream scrutiny is going to be good or bad for the grey market.

On one hand, RFK Jr seems sympathetic to this stuff and could lobby to make it more accessible. On the other, Congress seems likely to push the opposite direction.

I believe that in time, they will become more accessible. Mainly due to public demand. But how long does this take? Who knows.
