These are all highly regulated by jackbooted thugs from a federal agency

What? Where are you getting your info from? This is just your opinion, muawiyah, and a pretty unfair and unsubstaniated analogy.

You should stop trying to use "shock" analogies ... they make you look a little unbalanced.

FDA regulates prescription medicines. That's why you have to have a prescription. You go across the Rio to Mexico and you can buy the same stuff directly from the pharmacist without a prescription.

I thought we were having a discussion here among people who had a modicum of understanding of how drugs are regulated in trade in the United States, but I guess I was wrong.

So, look up FDA (that's Federal Drug Administration), and take it from there. Lots and lots of stuff about the why and wherefores of prescriptions, FDA regulations, etc.

As I said prescription medicines are regulated by jackbooted thugs from the federal government, and if you don't believe it just try peddling penicillin~!
