There is current debate about the legality of companies that openly keeps changing the exact formulation of their mind-bending recreational drugs to stay ahead of the governments adding their previous products to the banned lists.

For that issue, I would argue that any artificial substance or artificially modified organism and its produce should (under a reformed law) automatically fall in one of 4 categories A. Accepted legal substance (such as perfume or salt) as listed by the appropriate agency. B. Explicitly banned substance. C. Experimental chemical substance not allowed outside the lab until authorities have classified it as one of the other 3 or D. Approved farmaceutical drug, subject to the usual regulation.
