So any substance that has the potential to be used recreationally no matter what other effects or risks it might have should be OTC? Or is this literally just ketamine we’re talking about here?
“Over the counters” is still a concept within the current medical system.
I’m talking about reforming drug laws pretty substantially.
The way I imagine it, it would be made available from specialised stores to people who have a licence for it. Much like a drivers licence. Essentially the Bratt system, but for drugs.

So… available by a prescription except the pharmacist prescribes instead of the doctor?
Well not exactly.
With a prescription system, the default is that you don’t have a prescription, and get one if there’s a reason.
With this system, the default is (people of age and other possible requirements) have a licence, and it gets taken a way if there’s a reason.
Like the difference between OR and XOR. Similar, yes, but still different and for different purposes.
The more apt analogy would be OR vs NOR.
