Implications of the trivialisation of the RC scene

A random thought just occurred to me; with the recent spate of deaths attributed to a whole array of different classes of RC's, what will be the impact on the drug scene on the whole?
Will it force Government agencies to pursue drugs even more aggressively, with an even greater human cost, or will it force them to reconsider their stance on "classic" tried and tested drugs, with a longer history of human use and a more concrete safety record? Or maybe something entirely different?
Experimentation with new things is always going to happen, but when drugs that have only been around for 5 years at most are escaping the murky esoteric depths of hardcore psychonauts and finding themselves available to the general drug taking masses, there is an issue. The amount of people I've seen at festivals these last 2 years selling NBOMe's, rc stimulants and synthetic cannabinoids to people who have absolutely no idea of what they're consuming is ridiculous.. most of the people don't even know what the name of the drug is that they've taken, let alone anything else about it.. simply referring to it as some 'trippy shit'. I'm not saying this is wrong, however I feel it is somewhat reckless on behalf of both parties.
However you view it, this trivialisation of esoteric drugs will have an impact on the whole drug community over the next decade...
What are your thoughts?

I am surprised they haven't already passed analogue acts that are a blanket ban.

That's half the problem; blanket bans just force the chemists into even more exotic chemistry with even more unpredictable implications in terms of pharmacology and overall safety of the drug user (aka 'test subject' ).
Surely they can't keep addressing this fundamentally human issue with brute force? It's like locking a bunch of teenagers in a room and telling them not to have sex..

More "bad" drugs just gives an excuse to ramp things up even more. People want a government that appears to be doing something about things that scare them even when it's futile.

you basically said what i said in a longer way.
blanket bans= government not knowing wtf to do
jimmy rustling= chemists all make 10000 new analogs that dont fit the ban qualifications, or otherwise will be circulated regardless in response to the bans
more death and pain= the people who will be test rats and will take random shit.
but op only gave us the time span of a decade to consider. there will come a time when many drugs will be either regulated and people will have the ability to take long standing drugs to desired effect with out fear of repercussion from the government, there by greatly reducing the amount of people who are ignorant/ taking these rc's to avoid prosecution. that's not coming in a decade. no no, they cant let us have nice things
