I do believe the mandate is coming - more evidence from the 8/10 Americans study IMO, which was designed just for the purpose, I believe. And all the other reasons I stated in the past... it's a declining industry that has a lot less power than yrs past. Cliff's comment on hemp/cannabis is throwing me off a bit.
I still believe the other countries' argument relies heavily on those countries making a science-based decision... and they're waiting on our own FDA... it's free of cost.
