You are selectively quoting me. I repeat a point that I made in conjunction with the answer to the last question: if some of these substances are captured it will be open to the importer to establish that they have legitimate uses. If a product makes a therapeutic claim, it would have to be imported under the relevant import scheme for therapeutic products. It would, therefore, be exempt from the scheme.
