Alright, as im sure most of you all know, the FDA recently shot down the use of medical marijuana for purely political reasons, which honestly is the only thing to ever come up in terms of cannabis. They utterly denied all the proof showing that marijuana can, and does, help relieve severe pain and nausea, among other things, and well that just really bothers me. Getting all political instead of doing their jobs to better this nations health. Thats not all though, i just now read in the newspaper that the FDA approved adult antipyschotic drugs for children. i wouldnt have any issue with that except for that they apparently didnt do all the neccesary testing since a girl in Montana i think gained like 100 pounds while taking these pills for her bipolar disorder. So does anyone else think that the FDA is just getting out of control?

I think the FDA needs to get priorities in order.

The FDA definitely needs renovation.
Did you know that in the past they’ve blocked the use of healthy, organic alternatives to sugar because of quite obvious kickbacks from NutraSweet that nobody bothered to notice?

Everybody knows the FDA has been a corporate bordello with a crucifix rammed up its collective anus for years.

the FDA does need to get its priorities in order, and they shouldn't be at all political. The role of the FDA is to keep people informed, test any new or useful medicines and make sure theyre safe and see if they can help anyone. Apparently they have neglected that, by just shoving aside all of the information, all the studies conducted with cannabis, and went on ahead to make a right-wing political statement. With the antipyschotic drug they didnt do enough studies on the subject, and this has led to obesity. The FDA seriously needs to get with it.

Government organizations that actually do their jobs correctly? That's a silly idea.
