I feel like you're not acting in good faith here, but I'll bite. I consider it not worth my time to have to be an expert in all things in order to live my daily life. I consider the few overburdensome regulations that occur within a system designed to both protect my health and preserve my time to be a very worthy tradeoff.
I agree with what you’re saying. But you’re proposing the same argument of “well how do you know the dealer didn’t sprinkle another drug on your weed?”
What makes you think that the toothpaste company wants to use expensive radioactive materials on your plain toothpaste and not charge you for it?

Uh, that's an excellent argument for legalizing and regulating weed. Or am I missing your point?

I'll sell my radioactive toothpaste at a slight loss, capture the market, and then raise prices? Just off the top of my head. Or sell my radioactive stuff and also invest in companies that treat cancer.
Or just simply sell radioactive toothpaste and advertise it as helping your health. People may fall for that. People even drank disinfectant. Without regulation, there will always people buying your fancy stuff, at a premium even.
