I don't think so PI but it's hard to speculate until any regulations are actually drafted for approval. I expect it will eventually put some of the small home brewed juice suppliers out of business. Any supplier with a brain in their head has seen this coming for a long time tho. I guess we'll start seeing who is serious in this business and who was just riding the money train...which to me is not necessarily a bad thing.

Right. But by whatever terminology or who imposes it on who, how will it play out? Could the FDA require certifications so stringent—and fees so draconiian—that only an entity with very deep pockets could meet and absorb? Someone like a large pharmaceutical or tobacco interest, for instance?

Yes, they could, and it is very astute of you to recognize that. Nothing has really changed, SCOTUS was not going to grant cert. As others have said we need to be preparing for a fight, but we need to see what regulations they propose. (IMHO we aren't going to like them - but I could be pleasantly surprised)

Sumptuary taxes are ostensibly used for reducing transactions involving something that the society considers unwanted, and is thus a kind of sumptuary law. Sin tax is used for taxes on activities that are considered socially undesirable. Common targets of sumptuary taxes are alcohol and tobacco, gambling, and vehicles emitting excessive pollutants. Sumptuary tax on sugar and soft drinks has also been suggested.[1] Some jurisdictions have also levied taxes on illegal drugs such as Coke and Weed.
The revenue generated by sin taxes is sometimes used for special projects, but might also be used in the ordinary budget. American cities and counties have used them to pay for stadiums, while in Sweden the tax for gambling is used for helping people with gambling problems. Acceptance of sumptuary taxes may be greater than income tax or sales tax.

We need one something like this. There's plenty of room for batteries.
