To reiterate what Todd says, there are many trained herbalists outside

of the realms of TCM or naturopathy who ought to have access to herbs.

I have studied with practitioners of British herbalism (in the US),

Cherokee herbalism, Ayurveda and American herbalism, all of whom have

extremely sophisticated herbal traditions. We ought not to push for

legislation that restricts the rights of others to practice. And we

ought not to prevent lay people, wise women herbal tradition

practitioners or the like from access to herbs for health. Otherwise we

will engender backlashes. And besides, doing harm to the health of

society from lack of access is a worse problem than can be found by the

almost negligible amount of harm done by inappropriate use of herbs.

(Popular hysteria to the contrary notwithstanding.)
