You're asking how long it might take for every government in every single jurisdiction in the world to pass a coherent set of laws about something that the average person knows nothing about, and to enforce them in a compatible way?

Here's a vague guess: take the time it would take to agree a useful set of laws in just one jurisdiction, then raise it to the power of twenty.
