I’m not sure what past-you meant here, but, one thing you might think is “the amount of hurdles you have to jump through to profit off drugs is ‘hard’, i.e. you (unnecessarily) need to be very well funded and well connected company that can navigate bureaucratic hurdles”, and it’s not that you can’t do it. It’s just, like, “hard”, ya know?
