well now . . .
Be thinking none of that has been checked out by the FDA, none has passed a double blind study for efficacy, and I'd bet there isn't a big pharma behind any of it with deep pockets for any future liability claims.
Wait till all the class action lawsuits are resolved over surgical mesh and then the nation's legal spoil sports set their sights on the unregulated and burgeoning pot industry and sue it out of existence for real or imagined harm to spleens, fetuses, and alveoli . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The amusing thing, here, is that GMO's actually -are- subject to such studies...whereas their "natural" counterparts are not. The lie commonly sold by anti-GMO activists with -marginal- integrity goes like so
"There may be no science that says gmos aren't safe, but there isn't any science that says they are!"
Why yes, yes indeed there is. These people are no different than any other Merchant of Doubt. The only use these people have for science is when they can use the trappings of science to lie about science. If a GMO cultivar came out that demonstrably cured every known human malady they'd go on to bleating about how The Evil Seed Inc...... "sued innocent farmers" despite the fact that this...too, is a lie.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

There is documentary explaining GMO called
Food Evolution (2016)
Here's description: Food Evolution looks at one of the most critical questions facing the world today-that of food security-and demonstrates the desperate need for common sense, solid information, and calm logical deliberation. Using the often angry and emotional controversy over genetically-modified foods as its entry point, Food Evolution shows how easily fear and misinformation can overwhelm objective, evidence-based analysis. Food Evolution takes the position that science and scientists hold the key to solving the food crisis. But whose science? In the GMO debate, both sides claim science is on their side. Who's right? How do we figure this out? What does this mean for the larger issues of food security, sustainability, and environmental well-being? Food Evolution seeks to answer these critically important questions.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
