Aren't they one in the same? Companies like Pfizer and large health care giants buy off politicians and push DANGEROUS drugs on the people and CHILDREN of the US. It's really a twisted, sick and a purely evil double standard.

I still can't get over the overused acronym "ADD". Every kid on the planet has ADD! Why? Because they're kids and haven't developed adult levels of patience and attention!!! Those qualities are learned and developed, not chemically engineered into a pill.

For years I got my hair cut by a very nice lady just 10 years older than me. One day she came in and I heard a weird buzzing noise coming from her. She then went on to tell me that she took a weight loss drug (Fen Phen), a drug APPROVED by the FDA.......and now she has inoperable heart damage. The pump noize I heard was some kind of a device to get fluid out of her lungs or something. She was dieing. She was dead a week later and left a 13 year old son. She was the nicest lady, and took a drug that her country said was safe to use.

And a natural plant, that is not a carcinogen, with proven medicinal value for pain, anxiety and hundreds of other practical uses continues to be illegal.
