If you look today, its back to 1% chance of enactment.

Anyways, I find the law woefully stupidly inadequate and i think theyre going to have an extremely hard time wording that lol. Look at the backlash faced by the UK when they tried introducing their law (basically every university in the UK got fucking furious with them because the law by design makes it almost impossible to do any research on anything in chemistry without having to spend ridiculous sums of extra money on licensing that clearly they can't afford)

Worst case scenario they are stupid enough to spend years fine tuning the wording of the bill (which at its very best will still be a scam for universities) and all the American customers switch to the darknet.

Banning all recreational synthetics is virtually impossible. If this actually goes thru they will end up banning synthetic drugs + new synthetic plastic analogs made by some university or company for research. It will be automatically banned even though its meant for fucking plastic bags. That is just a case example.

If they can get past that gauntlet of wording, there will be GMOs awaiting them, and they will NOT be able to word a ban on organic species or DNA sequences in any sort of meaningful way

I personally dont thinkthe law will ctually pass, theUK already mostly retracted its synthetic ban for major rewording because they wfound they were unable to word the ban without accidentally placing automatic bans on all synthetics period, which basically cuts off entire PhD students from finishing their thesis, it makes companys patents on new plastics completely unusable, it would halt universities dead in their tracks and force their labs to close down. Due to the major backlash the UK govt ended up not enacting the law at all

I wouldnt get that worried over a proposed bill, I assure you bills like these can be proposed by any senator. There was once a senator in Texas who proposed a bill in 2009 to regulate homosexuality like alcohol. He got laughed out of the room I am sure but it still was a bill that congressmen/wome were allowed to vote on.

according to the link the prognosis says theres a 1% chance of this synthetics bill being enacted. Also for aforementioned reasons the US govt probably couldnt do this without facing extremely harsh backlash from pretty much every major credible institution ever. Universities to doctors to companies of all types (oil companies, organic farming companies, nylon plastic companies, literally everyone) would be persoanlly angry
